Tonight when I went to check the quads mom was pushing the little black doeling around. I checked her belly and she was full but moma didn't want her anywhere nearby. It was like she thought this one was not hers. She seems to favor the boy and is with him constantly while only letting the smallest tricolor nurse occasionally. The little one had a reasonably full belly tonight. I am wondering what is going on with the Moma...hormones, rejection, too many kids...?

I am not sure. All babies have full tummies but this morning mama literally tossed the black doeling away. I am thinking I'll do some bottle feeding with her. The mama has bee an excellent mama so I am wondering what the story is.
