Hi back again 😊. So I’ve been putting the mama goat on the milking stand twice a day, occasionally three times a day. She’s happy to get up there and eat her fruit and grain. Baby nurses well. I also recently put a camera up in the barn to monitor whether or not the baby is nursing while not in...

I still haven't seen her nurse when not on the stand, but it is possible - I don't have a camera in there. She doesn't have any issues nursing on the stand. The only time her udder was really overly full was the very first time on the stand, but since then has been full, but soft. No warmth...

Y yes. First kid. She is very sweet with the baby, which makes me wonder if she is nursing and I just haven’t seen it. Baby is definitely gaining and active. Haven’t bottle fed him yet because hes been nursing while she’s in the milking stand. It’s her initial trying to sit when he starts...

Definitely getting him neutered. I borrowed a milk stand and milked her Friday night, then put him on to nurse. Same process Saturday, Sunday and yesterday. This morning, baby looked quite content, and his belly felt full. I think she may be nursing, just not when we're around.

Just for pets - we got three for our grandkids - two does and a buck. One of the does was pregnant, so now we have four lol. Just trying to make sure that she is nursing the little guy, so it's been a long week.

Nigerian Dwarf :)

New mama Nygerian Dwarf goat. Smooth pregnancy and delivery. Very attentive . Baby nursed right away. Noticed after a couple of days that mama didon’t seem to be letting baby nurse. I did hold her a few times for baby to feed, and now have a milking stand while we work this out. She was very...
