Help with newborn goat

Hello, I am new to the goat world. Mama gave birth to twins, but I am concerned that she's rejecting one of her kids. When he was born, she did not clean him off, did not come near him, and did not connect with him. I brought him inside last night and thankfully he took to the bottle. He is standing and able to walk a little bit. Today, I reintroduced him back to his mom and brother. They are separated from the heard so mama can focus on her kids. She will let the other one nurse, but not him. I held her so that both would feed. Once she realized that the one that she pushed to the side was eating, she picked him off of her by the tail to remove him from feeding. I want to give him a chance to bond with his mom and brother, but I am concerned that he's not getting enough milk. Would it be okay for me to bring him inside to feed and bring him back outside with his mom and brother after feeding time?

I am new to this and I would truly appreciate any advice. Please be kind, I am new to this, and want helpful suggestions. I truly appreciate your help in advance.
