You told him correctly about squeezing her mammaries.....to see if there was milk coming out.
The other thing that can be done is to pinch babies skin to see if they aren't dehydrated. If skin bounces back they are getting plenty of fluid.....If babies are crying, it's a good sign they are hungry. Warm satisfied babies are pretty quiet.
If he's still unsure, supplemental bottle feeding until mom is producing milk would be my suggestion.
My next question is did he take mom into the vet's for a POP shot....this helps in producing milk as well as helping the uterus to contract and get back into shape.
Here's another Whelping Pudding Receipe.....It has no sugar rather than Karo syrup.
16 oz water
1 pkg Unflavored Knox Gelatin
(micro to dissolve)
15 oz can evaporated milk
2 Tablespoons vanilla yogurt
2 egg yolks
2 Tablespoons white Karo Syrup.
Mix all ingredients in bowl & let set in fridge until thickens. Spoon out as needed
