A picture from the rear would be helpful. One where you can see the rear udder where it attaches to the body. Also a picture of the vulva if possible.

Congrats on the baby! I hope momma and baby are doing well! I agree we need pictures <3

Congratulations! Any pictures?

And just for future reference, I had a Saanen go 9 days (day 159) overdue last year. She had only been in with the buck for one day, so we were 100% sure of due date. She made us wait so long but all we got for our patience was a single buck!

Well its a tiny doe we got she's having hard time finding the teat...Mostly she aimlessly hits somewhere else.Is there anything i can do?

What a beauty!

If she's having a hard time finding the teat, I'd go out every couple hours during the day and hold her and let her nurse. You may need to tie up the mom while doing this.

How is the mom's udder? If it is hard and tight you may need to milk it out some to relieve pressure.

I agree, you're going to have to help her until she gets use to it. Checking momma's udder will help as if she's too "full" it can be hard for the baby to latch and it can be tender for momma. If she doesn't figure out how to nurse pretty quickly you may need to consider bottle feeding her.

Just an FYI.. not all goats will have a full udder before kidding. Some won't "bag up" until after. Sometimes not for 24 hrs after. But she will still have enough colostrum for the kid.
She's a pretty baby.. keep a close eye on her to make she's nursing and be sure mom is producing enough.
If baby is peeing and pooping regularly and is active she should be good.
