Thank you star will be 3 weeks wed. Her momma doesnt produce enough milk to feed her her utter is only about size of baseball on one side other side is close to her body star wont take a bottle and her mom only lets her feed couple seconds at a time before she starts kicking her off any suggestions?
IMHO, If Star is feeding a few seconds off and on all day, she may be getting what she needs. Is she healthy? active? growing? When you feel her belly, does it seem full, or empty? If Star isn't getting enough, you'll just have to bottle feed. Most will tell you, you don't need any fancy replacers, just plain old store bought whole milk (not 2% or skim). As for her not taking the bottle, when she gets hungry enough, she will, you can just hold her and force the nipple into her mouth so she can figure out what it's all about. I'm sure others can give you ideas on how to get her trained to the bottle... Good luck!

Did you weigh her when she was born and how much does she weigh now
If she is growing and active I'm sure she is fine
I've never seen one that was really hungry not figure out a bottle
