I don't have a lot of experience with nursing troubles, as my other 2 mommas had no problem getting their kids to nurse well. Lily gave birth to a doeling yesterday morning. Lily has loads of milk, but whenever her baby does try to nurse (which isn't often or for long), she flicks her away with her foot or steps away. I can deal with that by holding her in place, but I can't get the doeling to get interested in feeding. I have collected some of Lily's milk and tried to feed it to the doeling with a bottle, but she is having trouble latching, her tongue is all over the place and she keeps turning her head away. Does anybody have any advice for getting a good latch?
