Some say wait awhile before bathing mama. I tired to wipe Frankie off with baby wipes and she just looked worse. i bathed her on the five day. She felt much better after that. I just shaved my babies ears last week. They are five weeks old today. I have been feeding mine a couple to three times a day for about a week. When they are getting into mama's food, they are ready to try to eat. I am sure not many on here feed this early or bath this early but it works for me. Also here is a great website
www.debbiejensen.com it is mainly about mating and etc but has a section on caring for the puppies.
