When you put the flank rope on don't shove that calf in there if she wants to crow hop or she might fall down on the calf. If I ever have to help a calf suck I put the cow in a maternity chute, put a flank rope on and raise the bottom portion of the chute, but having her tied up to a stout post would work also. Just don't put the calf in a postion where the cow could fall on it.
You can leave the flank rope on the cow although she won't be able to move all that great.
