He still isn't nursing from his mom, so we are milking mom and then bottle feeding him. The worse part is milking Ariana. She is sore and really doesn't like us fiddling around. We have an alpaca chute which we put her in that has belly bands to hold her up because she wants to cush. This morning Smitty milked 5 ounces which the little guy gobbled up. I'm having him teach me because it is tedious. Geeze, if my hands can spin they can surely milk an alpaca, wouldn'tcha think?

Mike, our vet, said to try for 3 days before we supplement, so we'll stay with it. In the meantime, I've been researching the best product to use. I'm thinking whole cow's milk with a glug of vanilla yogurt. It almost seems too easy, doesn't it? There are a ton of options like goat's milk and different powders that can be mixed up.

Congratulations on your two new babies.
Hi, just checking in. (is your hair grown out yet?) The babies are so darling!! I see you are quite a busy lady. Your blog is looking so great...wish I had some of your skills. I am sooooo basic!
I hope the little one starts nursing soon. And congrats on two new babies! They are beautiful.
And thanks for the fiber! Can't wait to spin more of it as it is lovely!
