I honestly think this is some of her problem. She wants to still sleep with me and wants to constantly be where I am. I have started only loving on her when she is feeding/cleaning or laying with the babies. I am hoping she will relate getting love when she is caring for them.
Wanted to add: I only mess with them when I am placing them on her to nurse and to weigh them and change their bedding. I only weigh and change the bedding every three days or so when the room starts to smell like doggie doo in there.
