Awe! sounds like you're doing a great job! Just keep doing what you're doing. I've heard that sometimes you can give them a tums (with calcium) and it can help kick in their maternal instincts (not that they're really low in calcium, but it can't hurt, unless you give like 5) Or try cottage cheese, yogurt, or vanilla ice cream, can't hurt after whelping they need it. Keep putting her to mom and petting her like you're doing, she's going to warm up. Great idea to put a stuffed animal in there.
Best wishes,
