A calf will suckle every two to three hours, so in a 24 hour period that would be around 9 to 12 times a day.

What is young one of dolphin called?
A baby dolphin is called a calf. The calf is very dependent on its mother. The two will spend many months together sometimes even years before the young calf can take of itself. Dolphin babies are born flukes first and sometimes come out head first. As soon as the baby is born the mother pushes it to the surface for its first breath or air. Baby dolphins dont know how to swim when there born but they learn about a half hour after there born.
What does a person do for a new born calf?
Get it in a warm dry place after it has been born and after you have ensured the calf is alive. Then bottle feed it with colostrum for the first 24 to 36 hours, then slowly wean it of colostrum to replace it with milk replacer. Do this only if the newborn calf is an orphan and you cannot find a serrogate mother to accept it.

How many times can a bull breed its mother?
DO NOT breed a bull to his mother, not unless you have a closed herd with cows and bulls that you have a pedigree history of and want to produce a truly purebred herd. If you do not have any pedigree or genetic history of the bull and his dam, you're going to run into a lot of complications and issues. The calf may die from a fatal genetic disorder, or the cow may give birth to a stunted calf that will not be as vigorous as the calves that are born from that cow from an unrelated bull.See the related question below for more.
