Livi was diapering, I was feeding with the eye dropper, then giving them back to Livi and letting them latch on (she does have two teats with some milk). The babies' weights at this time yesterday were:
Cinnamon: 6.9
Cadbury: 8.1
Cupcake: 6.9
This morning's weights are:
Cinnamon: 7.4
Cadbury: 8.5
Cupcake: 7.4
They are latched onto Livi right now...after I finished feeding them, this is what they have been doing so hopefully, her milk will start to come in. I am afraid to let myself be too happy...fear of something else going wrong, but we are on the right track....aren't we??? |
Tammy, You are doing an awesome job in doing everything you can to help Livi and her babies. Their gaining weight, even the tiniest bit, is a very good sign, remembering being told that even a little bit of weight gain in a small dog (or puppy) is a lot. I will continue sending my support and prayers in hopes that they all continue to thrive. Hugs......
