First I am not an expert but will help if I can. How are you keeping them warm? It may be that she is cold. I had one of my smaller boys crying yesterday and I had turned down the heat a bit. Because of moms comfort. So I moved everyone and put a heat lamp in with the pups.

The crying has stopped. Mom is not likening to be infor too long at all. She has been spending quite a bit of time outside kennel. I have a humidifier and heat lamp. As you may know warmth is key for the pups and warmer than would be comfortable for you or mom. When mom stays in with pups the use her for warmth but as she wants time away you need to find a way to keep pups warm. At least that is my experience. Also I trimmed the pups nails yesterday hoping to help mom want to keep being motherly.

Hope tho helps. If you want to talk send me a message.

Hope all a goes well.
