My Trini also had a problem with her milk in the beginning. The two boys
I have liked the two teats furthest back. I was worried she would not produce enough milk for the puppies growing demands if they only had the option of two teats so I moved them around and made sure they latched on to each for at least a minute or two a feeding. The problem was, when I wasn't there (they would still only latch on to the back two and the other teats dried up and she got mastitis. Anyway, I got her antibiotics and the vet said she could still feed so I just let the puppies feed from wherever they wanted, which still ended up being the last two
and now three weeks later I have two healthy baby boys and mommy only has 2 large teats, the back two. So, it worked fine for us...
Good luck!
BTW-Mama & baby are adorable!
