Breny,
These pups are preemies and underdeveloped, and the possibility exists that she could very well crush the pups and there is a chance here canine instincts will set in and sense the pups are not healthy and could attempt to push the pups away, causing them to chill and die. This happened to a friend of mine just last week with the tiniest of the litter 2oz. She has been watching the pup and it was progressing, so, she decided to put the pup in with mom and all was well. She left the room for about 1/2 hour and went back in and the pup was dead.
