Hi and Welcome to YT!
Her motherly instincts will probably kick in and she'll do better. I would be concerned about her Calcium level and feed her cottage cheese, and have her drink milk replacement, or the whelping pudding would be good too, if she'll eat it... mine usually don't. So I give them 1/4 can of canned puppy food with cottage cheese on top twice a day, and 1/3 cup of mixed milk replacment twice a day. Be sure to watch for excessive panting, shaking, quick increase in fever, or instability... and get her to a Vet immediately if that happens.
You will need to "potty" the babies until she starts licking them. Sometimes I will put a small amount of Nutri-Cal on their bums and she will lick it off and get the idea.
You will need to watch her and the babies non-stop to make sure all is going well, and step in as the need arises.
Good Luck! Welcome to the breeder world.. it's not as easy as it sounds!
