However they seem to be whining more than usual and yawning more, like a lot more, so I was worried that maybe they are having a hard time breathing. Is this normal, am I just seeing things I did not notice before? What are signs I should look for that my babies are in distress? Is there anything I can do for them to help them? I just never had a group so little, I am letting them with mom for a few minutes to see if this helps, just a few ( as in I have the timer set for 5) I just do not want to lose them... Please any advice would be great.
i will say a prayer that you will know what to do.. just keep feeding them
and maybe use a fan in their room..they have to be warm to eat.
but a heating pad can warm them.. just make sure their is air movement in the room...yawning is a sign of lack of oxygen.. try blowing into the nostrils
gently.. i dont know.. but i hope they are ok...
