How to get momma to clean up her baby after c section? I was hoping I can get some ideas on how to resolve this matter. As many know princess had her baby Valentina on valentines day via c section. She was rejecting the baby so I started formula tube feeding. Yesterday I supervised nursing and stoped the formula. The baby is gaining weight she was 4.85 birth today 5.55oz. She seems more comfortable this morning nursing the baby. But she still not licking the baby. When the baby crawls up to her face she just turns her face. Every now and then she will smell her. I'm still not leaving her and the baby alone because she seems careless around the baby and I'm scared she might suffocate when she crawls behind her and under her. Hoping some breeders can give me some advice on how to get the licking and cleaning started. I tryed putting her smell on the baby since she has discharge dirint work. Tryed giving her nutrical and when she was licking my finger put the baby there not working either. So I'm still picking up the slack till she gets it. Could it be that she's a first time mamma?
