Oh my...I am really sorry to hear that you're going through this. I lost my girl during a C-section and all her pups except for one. It's a really tough time when you're feeding pups around the clock. The pups do need to eat every 2 hours around the clock. My friend, Mary (Bugaboosmom) really helped me out during this tough time. She checked the pup's belly after a few seconds of feeding. You want them to feel full, but not like they're about to pop. I personally counted to 20 and checked her belly and that always seemed to be enough for her (but that's just what helped me). Make sure you relieve them so they poop and pee every so often. Just use a warm cotton ball/pad and wipe them in a kind of licking motion (like their mommy would do). Just be careful not to irritate their little bottoms like I did!
