If you need to keep the pups off of her at times - during those time you could put on pajamas/onees so the pups cannot nurse, but she can comfort them, clean them, and lay with them. I believe that if she can handle it - the pups need as much milk as mom can give them. It really depends on her condition and the pups. Have you asked your vet yet? If he/she knows a lot about this and see them - he will probably be the best to advice you. We can guess, but since we cannot see her condition or the pups - I would hate to advise you.Best thing to do is keep a check on her temperature twice daily. It should stay below 102 and check her legs (make sure they do not shake).
