That's is as what Dr Del stated an assisted feed. He should be eating on his own by now. I've only had to do 2 assist feeds out of 30 something babies and that was only 1 baby. I've never forcefed. Id check to make sure all husbandry is correct and let him get hungry. This is all assuming he has Bo neurological issues that could be effecting his striking. Like a spider with a bad wobble.
