I'm not sure the little boy is going to make it. He's a weak kid, still super unsteady on his feet and not very good at or enthusiastic about finding a teat. I have held him up (he has difficulty standing alone for very long), and helped him nurse several times today. I put a jacket on him to keep him warmer tonight and I'll help him nurse again when I go out to feed our bottle lamb. I hope he makes it, but he sure isn't acting like a strong, healthy kid should. His sister is doing very well. She was already trying to bounce around with the triplets this afternoon.

LaManchas are so stinkin' cute! My Annie had two mini LaManchas, which means they're tiny and adorable. Yours look awesome! :thumbsup

He is still kicking his morning. I have jury duty right now so I can't get to him until later but I will give him some vitamin b. I don't have Bose though.

Maybe give him some NutriDrench to tide him over? He sounds like he needs everything he can get at this point. I hope he does well, because he's so very cute. Good luck with him!
