Overrun with beasties
Go into a small room... for me when I have hypothermic babies, I go into our powder room, put a heating pad on the floor, lay the baby on it, run a space heater, and put blankets on top. The small room with the door closed helps keep the heat in and raises the temperature. I had a baby bounce back after an hour or two. Give nutridrench if you have it for a shot of energy. After baby is warm, feed it warm milk. As far as the infection in her eye, I would wait on giving her any meds until her belly is full of food which means she has to be warmed up first.
@SheepGirl - IF I take her into our powder room (which I have no problem doing) am I going to break that bond she has with her mom? I currently have them both in my basement on blankets and straw. This morning when I took the baby up to my woodstove, located in another room, the mother was flipping out that I had taken the baby away. I cannot get the baby to drink from a bottle, other the mother, so I'm scared that taking her away will cause the mom to reject her? I am up for anything to save the baby - just asking questions that is all for further knowledge.
