Loving, obedient, not yet ready to explore too far beyond fences.
Close to mummy's side and seeing and feeling what she likes.What she dislikes about being mum.
They are keen to venture yet needing to keep returning back to sit with mummy.
To them safety means everything to babies.
Mummy's tone, Mummy's expressions
all ticker babies, they know they are all important and special to mummy.
They know they are cared for and want to get the attention while they are around mummy.
Popping their heads, restless walking around or making sounds.
Wanting something again, said mummy.
When they are assured, they return to their nest where they all cling to one another.
They are now exploring eating vegetables, especially the soft textured leaves.
Juicy and tender are their tummies when they are more rounded nowadays.
I can start to let them start chewing on soft hay.
They are no longer as fragile as they were before.
I usually check the size of their tummies by feeling them to decide whether they are fed for the night.
Happy to have more goat's milk before going to bed.
I have now gotten hold of the rhythm that is needed to feed newborns.
Their tummies so small, can only take in not more 10 seconds of milk each time.
Needing to be patient with them, they usually need more than one feeding within that feeding time.
So, I go about checking whether whose tummy is not yet rounded with milk and food.
They are learning to survive now on other things beside milk.
Which I think is growth.
They have all made progress and are on another stage.
