Exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't hurt the mama cow, would allow the baby to nurse, and would keep whoever is milking her a little safer.

You can tube her...sometimes if they won't drink the bottle that can mean they are eating from mom though ....she is just so so precious
I was beginning to worry that she was fading, but she didn’t give up! I like the name Molly for her.
So wonderful to see her thriving after such a tremulous start! I was thinking...with all that red fur, she would make an adorable Pippy, like Pippi (Thanks for the correct sp Carina Kaarli) long stockings. Keep at it guys!! You are an inspiration to us all!

Maisy + Dolly = Daisy. Lovely little calf. Congratulations
Poppy, like the flower would be a very fitting name. She is so tiny and fragile, like a flower
Definitely Molly! This proves that cows have such personalities too!
O em gee, this is so beautiful, she is adorable. Congratulations guys, so happy for you, after all of this waiting.
Congratulations on the new calf. We used to make sure the calf was feeding and would even put the cow in a head stall to allow the calf to eat. If, while milking, you tie the cow's legs together she will not be able to kick.

Thought about doing that... it was hard to get the calf to stay standing for very long, but that could have worked, too. We were getting frustrated and the calf didn't want to stand after awhile so we gave them both a rest till the next day.

That’s so crazy! Momma cow totally loves baby cow. So beautiful. I love burgers so much!
A good way to see if a calf is nursing when you suspect they are, is through the bottle you were using. They won’t take a bottle nipple if they’ve gotten milk from the cow, they also won’t suck on your finger if they’ve gotten milk from the cow. And another thing to note is, like newborn babies, newborn calves sleep A LOT! And hoe much they sleep depends entirely on their personality and how ambitious they are
Congratulations! My girls and I were so nervous watching. I'm so happy she is eating now. My girls suggest "Peaches" for the calf. 😊
Congratulations guys, she is adorable🎉🎉🎉

We had a Black Baldy bull calf born three days ago that didn't have a suck reflex. We had to tube-feed him for two days, and at 3 a.m. on the third day, we thought he was a goner. He was out of it and seemed stiff, but when we checked on him a few hours later, he was up nursing from his mom. He was bucking around and so happy. He must have nursed all night and was in a milk coma. 😂 Your video gave me hope yesterday when I thought we'd lose him. Thank you!

If you aren't sure if the cf is nursing get your fingers wet and rub each teat. If any are slimy when they get rubbed with clean water then there is dry saliva on the teat from the baby nursing when you weren't looking.

He went down again after I left the comment. We ended up pouring a little iodine down his back. Within 30 minutes, he was doing well. One week later, he was down again and we had to dose him again. He is now 11 weeks old and thriving.
i love the idea of sticking with all the same letters for dollie's calves... so maybe Moxie, Mabel, Melody, Missy,
I think you should name her Wennie! I feel like it would fit her perfectly and go with Maysie and Dolly's names great!

For a calf, one problem could be the high solid content of Jersy cow milk for digestion.

It never ceases to amaze me that calves are born and within minutes they are standing. Nature is truly amazing.

She's so cute! How about Tillie or Betty? Hope the calf gets all her nourishment from mama and not have to be bottle fed. That would be hard work. Congratulations! Miah from Roots and Refuge got a device to keep the cow from kicking and it seems to work well. You should check it out. It's just a curved bar that goes over the rump and keeps the cow from raising her hind leg. It might make milking safer for you.

I think a perfect name should be "Hope" for the new calf. Congrats by the way 🥳.
The little calf having trouble may warrant a vet visit, some things we see with slow calves is head trauma from birthing or potential injury in the head and neck that can last for a few days after birth. In most cases we have a vet come out and give a steroid injection for the swelling or potential swelling in the brain, and a vitamin/metabolic starter injection to fortify the calf and stimulate it to continue to try and feed. Another thing to check for is incomplete palette where the roof of the mouth doesn't fully close off, causing latching and feeding problems. signs of this would be milk discharge from the nose, or head shaking and a lot of huffing or snorting from the calf. Its important when feeding a slow calf to never squeeze of force milk into them as they may aspirate the milk into the lungs. Best of luck I do hope she continues to make gains!
There seems to be a flower theme in the comments. Our favorites that we saw suggested: Poppy, Lily, and Rosie. If you want both calves to start with a M, we suggest Maple🍁
She’s so sweet I’m in love with her!! For names I was thinking Sadie or Polly
