[AlpacaTalk] Bottle baby
Hi Folks:
I have my first bottle baby -- oh yeah.....NOT! She will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and is taking a total of about 36 oz. from me daily. She's been gaining roughly 1/2 lb a day, but that varies. I'm currently giving her about 5 oz milk and about 1 of yogurt every 3 hours during the day, but would really love to get her to feedings every 6 hours as soon as possible. She does nurse from Mom, but clearly not getting much from her. I've given Mom a bag of herbal supplement, but she's been overweight, is a maiden and I'm just not sure she's going to have milk for this baby. So, at 2 weeks of age, what would the recommendation be for intervals of feeding and amounts? Would it be okay to try dropping the amount she gets and hoping Mom fills in the rest? She's been doing well and I don't want to upset things, but 3 hourly feedings are starting to get old!........but of course, I'll do whatever it takes.
Thanks,
susan
