I would say, no way dont do it. I have had 1 litter myself, and im telling you it was a 24/7 thing. There is no way you can leave mama and babies alone for most of the day. Its just not fair on them. Anything could happen.
I have a breeder friend , who is totally dedicated to her mums and puppys, and who would never leave them unless she has no choice. Well 1 day she had no choice, and had to go for a doctors appointment, her new litter were only a few days old. When she got back she was greeted with an awful site. 1 of the puppys had got caught in the mama's hair right beside the ear, and had strangled to death. She had to cut the baby out of the mums hair. The pups mum was stressed, my friend was devasted, and was wrecked with guilt for weeks. And she was only away for a short time. So I guess my point is, they need 24hr care.
I wish you all the best. And please listen to the advice given. This is a major decision for you to make.
