: under the container, makes sure
: the container is partially off
: of pad so the baby can chose
: heat or cool area. you can put a
: clothover the top leaving a
: space at the cool end open. You
: will need to get a hand reaing
: formula, like excact or
: prettybird. he will need to be
: fed at least four to five times
: a day. you can use 3oz paper
: cups, it will simulate his
: parents feeding him or her. Were

: and do not know all the signs
: (if he's hungry, cold etc.)
: which I have to look out for.
: Please give me advice what to
: look for and what to do, because
: there aren't any books on greys
