How big is the momma? As long as the momma is eating well and not loosing weight then I would just continue to let them nurse as usual. Just make sure momma has plenty of food so her calcium levels do not drop. Sometimes if the mom has plenty of good rich milk the puppies will get to be little butterballs. My last litter was like that. I would wait until they are at least 3 1/2 to 4 weeks before introducing them to food. I always wait until they are walking and then I just put down a bowl of finely ground dry puppy food and a bowl of water. It sounds like you have an excellent momma.
