Its been my experience to suppliement the larger ones and let the little ones on the teat as much as they want, check on them often and throughout the night put the little ones back on. Many times the larger ones will be bullies and take over the teats pushing the little ones away. Suppliment the larger ones every 3 hours or so. The pups should double their birth weight by 8-9 days old. I weigh 3 times a day morning, noon and night for the first 3 weeks.
