I meant that its not good to get too handsy and assist where its not needed, not to just leave the mum unsupervised to birth. They don't need us grabbing the newborns away, they have to smell on them and clean them. Lots of people don't let the mums chew the placenta when its good for them to either. Its not ludicrous to let a mother birth and nurse naturally and only intervene where necessary! Most animals can do it fine without us, were there in case they can't. Where is your source that most small dogs need help while birthing, I wanna see it. Bulldogs and pugs excluded for obvious cephalic reasons.
