I have several (10) nannies that are kidding at the same time and several brand new first time mamas. I have one in particular that in my opinion is not producing enough milk for her one kid. I have two other older nannies that could feed quads if they had them so I milked off both of these (one nipple on each one was so engourged that it was dragging the ground) and now have a 20 oz. coke bottle with fresh goat milk in it. How long can I keep it and uner hat conditions? and then if I refrigerate it how long do I warm it up?
I did get the one kid to take some of the milk - maybe an ounce. I don't know if he is sucking hard enough or enough to help stimulate this new mama's milk production. Anything to help that - besides trying to milk her?
