A co-worker found a newborn yesterday. It's maybe a week old. The umbilical cord hasn't been off long.
They brought him to me and he made it through the night. He is eating well every two hours. I weighed him at 8 pm last night and he weighted 4 oz/113.39 g. I am feeding him KMR and used a little honey in it to stimulate him to eat because it had been at least 6 hours between them finding him and me getting him home to feed him. Between 6 pm last night to 6 am this morning he ate about 1.5 Tbsp.
He won't use the bottle but I am feeding him with a dropper because all of my syringes were lost during my move and I haven't needed to get any more. I will be getting some more today so I can measure better.
Any way, he is peeing after every feeding and even though I am stimulating him, he hasn't pooped. I'm not sure what else I need to do to get him to poop. I've never had any problems with this before.
Here are some pictures.
