New mama Nygerian Dwarf goat. Smooth pregnancy and delivery. Very attentive . Baby nursed right away. Noticed after a couple of days that mama didon’t seem to be letting baby nurse. I did hold her a few times for baby to feed, and now have a milking stand while we work this out. She was very tight and engorged, so milked her out quite a bit and then let baby feed. Baby healthy, active, appears well fed so I suppose he could be nursing when I’m not watching. The last couple of times mama tries to sit or lay down when he tries to nurse, even in milking stand. I end up holding her up for the first bit until she stands again. Doing this 3 times a day for the last 3 days. Suggestions?
