Eventually it can be set pretty fast like at 160 so it wont take so long. y very gradually increasing the rate it will make it easier for him to tolerate.
Another trick is to add a can of water, it helps with the nasuea and other digestion ailments that come from formula and pain meds. I used about 1 can water per 2 cans formula.
Very important if you do this overnight, prop him up on 2 or 3 pillows to sleep.
Any other questions about it, please ask. I went thru alot of problems and 3 different formulas before I got it right.
