baby goats

My goats are due to have their kids any day now. Has anyone ever left them with the doe afterwards? I was wondering how it would work if I let them nurse and then milk her. Am I just asking for headaches by doing this? Last year we seperated them and fed them with bottles. I suppose I would have no way of knowing if they nursed or not before I milked her, if I did it that way. What are you guys doing? Give me a few ideas, maybe I'll try one of them. Thanks!
