How long should I let this continue?? And I thought they were making it through the night all on their own
I've let my pups and mom set the pace on the weaning. Didn't let them nurse on mom during the day, but put her in with them at night to empty her. Eventually her milk dissipated and she wouldn't allow them on her. At that point I no longer put them in with her to sleep.
