Only feed them when the crop is empty. Feeding on your
schedule and increasing the amount, your feeding way to much.
Go by what the baby is telling you. You can also add a drop
or two of apple cider vinigar to the formula once a day. It
sounds like your doing everything else right just give the
crop time enough to empty before putting more in
