But wouldn't the food get old and yucky?
I was putting a fresh plate down every 2 hours for them and they were diving into it. They eat their food just fine but as soon as mommy comes around they latch on. They do fine when she isnt there.
I'd hate to keep them seperate all day. What if I just keep a fitted t-shirt on her, or pj's? Then they wouldn't be able to get to the milk. Maybe that would work?
