I have mixed kid milk replacer with mom's milk and they all did fine. Make the change slowly with adding the milk replacer now, before you run out of moms milk. It stretches moms milk out and if you start milking 3x a day, it will not be a big deal when she supplies to all.
I hope that helps. Peggy.

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] what to use?
My first timer nubian goat, had triplets, she did reject them, but i'm milking her 2 times a day, and feeding the kids. She only gives about 1/2 gal. of milk per day, which i mix with some frozen milk, I had last year, from another goat. BUT now i'm running out of the frozen milk. And wondering what I can mix with moms milk, so there is enough, for each day. the kids are a week old, and doing very good, i'm feeding them at 8:00 12:30, 5:30 and the last feeding at 10:00 at night. That has been working pretty good. Should I mix moms milk with kid replacer? I sure hate to change things (formula). But when you run out, you have to do something! any suggestions?
