If the puppies are thriving and not crying all the time driving you crazy she has enough milk. You will not see it and yes, they need to suck hard. All seems good.
You can always supplement her calcium intake by adding a boiled egg in the morning and a table spoon of low fat cottage cheese in the afternoon, that alone will increase milk production ... plenty of good nutritious food and quiet, stress free environment !
