Re: NINA

when Nina arrives.... stay on the same schedule and after she settles... then maybe try other combinations. Nina might being doing well with 3 tsps of enzymes per 2 cups of food if the food is not that optimal for her and that might be why she does well with an extra tsp of enzymes.... many times if...
