 And then there was 4!!
she's finally here!!..3 girls 1 boy. Yes!! I have read through all these sites alot and took everyones advice..I gave her vanilla ice cream in between..I also gave her cottage cheese. She would only eat off my hand and not out of the bowl. I tried the whelping pudding but she wouldn't drink it. I do have a concern though. I do know that not all moms produce milk while pregnant or before labor, that it can happen right after birth, but I don't see any coming out. I could probably squeeze one of her teats and a little will come out but that's it. I know the little ones need their colestrum in the first 24hrs, so I put them on her anyway just to stimulate the milk. Is their anything else I can do to stimulate production? I do know that I will definately be hand feeding in between to help her out because there are too many for her and I do not want her to go through eclampsia. I just want to make sure they get their fair share of colestrum. I did the beer thing too. Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I appreciate it!! |
