Anyways i always have both, soy milk and ensure when my momma's are whelping... they lick it just out of the bowl. it does not cause any diarrhea. Good luck with your babies !!!
So far it seems that all is ok and well... her milk production is more likelly to increase as the puppies needs grows...
XOXO
Soy is a calcium leach....something you never give a nursing mom as it can bring on eclampsia, you can lose your mom that way.
