Get a few bottles of beasting for the calf from a neighbour. It will take the pressue of the cow.
Dairy nuts
Bucket of mineral lick tomorrow.
Cut the lawn and give her some grass.

I had the same problem last year, the more dairy nuts and grass the better, also gave her beet pulp nuts as recommended on here...milk came to her as the calf kept at her constantly... She was only 2 also .. She has fine bag of milk this year, no problems
