Lord, yes! I would supplement momma with calcium now...how many babies did she have and how much does she weigh? Really good, attentive mommas can have issues with eclampsia because they are feeding frequentyly and their calcium level drops....what are you feeding your momma? She needs to be on an excellent food specially formulated for lactating mommas....You will absolutely need to supplement her calcium and it wont hurt to cut back on the amount of time the babies nurse...how old are they now? Are you a breeder with experience because this is like a house of cards.....the entire thing comes tumbling down if just one card gets catty-wompus...I need to know how much YOU know about what you are doing, before I can really be of much help.
