If the puppies are pulling on a nipple really hard, does that mean they're not getting milk? They latch on with no problem and it seems like they're drinking but they're sucking really hard and I just want to be sure they are getting milk from the mom.

I assume if they weren't getting any they would cry and they're not. They're all approximately 10 oz. so I also wanted to know, how much weight should they be gaining on a daily basis?
