What kind of food is mom eating? If you are giving her moist food then she will get fluid from that. You need to make sure mom is eating lots of quality food that that will help with her milk production. If the pups cry all the time then you might need to think about supplementing them but if they just cry when she leaves them it might not be that they are still hungry but they just might not like her leaving them. I give my nursing momma dry Chicken Soup Puppy food mixed with Pedigree Lamb and Rice Puppy food. Mine have food available at all times. You could buy some puppy milk replacement formula and see if she will drink a little of that. Also, a little nutri-cal will give the mom some extra calories.
