I divided my "normal" waking hours by the number of "feedings" I had to accomplish, including water and for me that worked out to every 2 hrs. So every 2 hours I would alternate 6 oz water and then 6 oz "food". I didn't always keep to that schedule for obvious reasons but at least I mentally had a goal to keep. That's why I was happy to find Carnation VHC because it cut my food feedings down by 1/3 which meant more time in between feeding and that meant a lot to me.
Hilogirl, Your right, THAT'S GROSS but so are a lot of things we must endure with this crappy thing.
