Put the smallest puppies on those nipples and let them nurse there for awhile. The bigger ones always find a way to knock them off so watch for that.
You can tell a skinny puppy from a nice round belly puppy just by looking. If you have a skinny one, be sure it gets to nurse the most on the back teats.
I'm so glad for you -- and hoping everyone will do just fine now. |
