Besides supplementing the tiny one, you could also give her some alone time nursing on mama either before or after the others have their turn. That way she can get her fill without being shoved aside and knocked off the teat. We surely want her to gain weight, but at least from what you said, she's no losing any?????? I'll say a prayer for her.
