lilliput congrats on your new litter 6 is a large amount for your mom to feed...I suggest feeding mom besides her regular dry puppy food, 3 -4 small meals a day mixed with rice or pasta and chicken or turkey add veggies also feed her cottage cheese, cheese, yogart, goats milk.

Keep a close eye on her how she eats if she isnt eating as much as she should consult your vet about giving her extra calcium, if needed.

I am a bit confused on the weight you state grams and 20 grams equals less than 3/4's of an ounce, I believe.

if thats right wow tiny tiny babies mine usually weigh average 2-3 oz at birth...

if you feel the need supplimenting get puppy milk "esbilac" (I add goats milk they tend to like the taste better) you can either feed through a syringe or a baby bottle.

Main thing is that mom eats enough all the time to keep up with the puppies demands. How much does your mom weigh?

I hope this helps
