I haven't in the last week or so. I was trying to do as little as possible to stress him out to see if he'd eat. I will try soaking him tomorrow and see what happens!
I hope he feels better soon. Poor little guy )=
Have you tried lots of different foods? The only thing mine ate for the first 2 weeks was a bit of strawberry and melon. What finally got him eating well was iceberg lettuce mixed with canned pumpkin. I slowly reduced the pumpkin and added more healthy greens. Now I do about a 50/50 mix of iceberg lettuce and healthy greens. I plan on reducing the iceberg lettuce slowly until he is eating just the good stuff. He still goes for the iceberg first but it starring to eat other things and has put some weight back on.
Also giving him nice warm soaks helped. Even when he wasn't eating he did still drink. I am new at this but I believe you can put carrot baby food or bird vitamins in the water to try and get some nutrition into him.
I wish you and your new baby the best. Keep me posted on how he is doing. It was 3 weeks before my guy really started eating so I know how you are feeling all too well.
