From the pics, it appears they're not that early, so you should be OK. Mom needs lots of fluids to produce milk, so maybe your Vet could give her fluids and show you how. I give fluids 2-3 times a day if milk is slow coming in. She should be eating, you might mention it to your Vet. She should be starving! Did you take her temp? I take the temp 4 hours after whelp, 12 hours after whelp and 24 hours after. A spike in temp usually means infection or low calcium. Especially since she hasn't eaten much. Her temp today, normally will be in the 99 or 100 range. It takes a few days to get back to normal of 101-102. If I have 101 after 24 hours, I know I've got a problem brewing.
Is she attentive to the puppies still?
Good luck, milk should be back soon with the puppies sucking.
