We had a heifer that calved without much milk a couple of days ago. To help the calf a bit we have been giving it a little milk replacer till the hiefers milk comes in, which it now appears to have doen. Based on the recommendations of folks on these boards I used a lamb nipple instead of the full size cow nipple. Calf took right to it, the only drawback I've seen is he tends to suck more air around the nipple then he would with a full sized nipple.
Based on that, after I had one sucking a bottle well with the lamb nipple I'ld transition it to the full sized nipple as soon as praticle/possible.
