[QUOTE="LizHartley1991, post: 1464551, member: 31466"] Update: I tried straddling her a little better this time and changed thenipple on the bottle. The first time I got about two pints in her. The second time one and a half. The third time almost a full three ounces. This time she even sort of tried to find the nipple if I pulled away to check how much she drank and didn’t have to force her mouth so much. I think it’s like most of you said; she’s a Baby and I’m overthinking. Still concerned about the tongue. And now I’m wanting to figure out how to help her be warmer. It’s getting colder where I am and while the barn we have her in has hay and we have covers for her, it still gets cold and this barn is very old and a good bit of the coolness gets in. And I can’t get a heater in here cause she might bump it since her eyesight seems to be pretty weak. And if I try covering her up she just ends up moving again anyway... I just keep laying down hay for her and even moved a few bales for her to lay against. She seems to like that a bit... [/QUOTE]
