| Light birth BW pigs tend to nurse the posterior teats, which produce less milk than the anterior teats, which are nursed by heavier pigs. |
| There are special teats and bottles available which help the baby to get milk to the back of the throat to swallow more easily. |
| Immediately after birth, the joey crawls from the birth canal into the mother's pouch where it attaches to one of four teats. |
| The width at the bottom will let the sow be comfortable when lying down and the piglets will be able to reach the teats. |
| The females have no teats and the young feed through numerous tiny openings in the skin of the mother's belly. |
| It is best that calves suckle from all 4 teats, but make sure at least 2 teats are suckled. |
