So now that we have kids...

[PotterWatch]

Is she going to be able to make enough milk for all three of them? How can I tell if they aren't getting enough? One definitely seems a bit stronger than the other two, but they are only 3.5hrs old. Do I need to milk her out to get the colostrum?

Are they sucking on mom yet? Did you make sure mom's wax plugs are out so that they can get the colostrum?

Make sure the small one gets some of the colostrum, and then just keep an eye on them to make sure they are all growing. There's no need to milk it out
If one isnt growing, them maybe you'll want to consider bottle feeding it, or at least supplementing it's feeding.

LaMancha's are FANTATIC Milkers....I bet she has enough. You'll know in a day or two if the little one gets weak or doesn't grow.
You can milk out a bottle or two a day to supplement if you need to

I give my Dairy Does with kids all they want of Alfalfa Pellets. Lots of Calcium, Great for milk production!

I have seen all three of them nursing at some point, so I know all of them have gotten at least some colostrum. I'm sure I'll be checking on them several times tonight... I am worried she will step on them or lay on them. Probably foolish worries, but they are so tiny!
