quick question on triplets born on Monday morning and a big thank you

my nd faline gave birth to triplets on monday morning. with all I have read on here since I got my first goat last summer. I had things on hand to take care of my girl and her babies the littlest one was cold and weak right after being born warmed her and fed her she bounced right back put her back with mom and sisters. mom has been nursing the three of them since. they are all bouncy and playing now. So question can I asume she is making enought milk for all three. and what to watch for to indacate she is not? did put sweaters on for tonight as it has been in the 70 during the day and 50 at night. but today had sudden change to 30s and 20s. And thanks to this list all my girls get unlimited alfala pellets. Hay and a topping of grain.
did give some cal c freash right after dilivery and each day since should I keep that up she did not show any signs for needing it just a little to help she did have a ruff dilivery. but managed by her self how ever her back side did look a little sore. sorry for rambling.
thanks again
Pam

Feel for full tummies! Sit and watch to be sure everybody is nursing. Watch long enough so you know everybody pees.
