| need advice now Having pups as I type - first time mom howsoon do they need to nurse after birth - she is more interested in cleaning the dickens out of them and won't let them get a good grip. All the research I have done and still I am taken by surprise!! Thanks in advance for any help. |

| Hi, I usually put the pups on to nurse as soon as they are born and then remove them before the next one whelps...the mothers don't always appreciate it at first. Watch the pups carefully until she gets used to them. After they are all whelped there is plenty of time for a really good nursing! I am sure Pat will have much more to add, but I hope this is a start...

| pups Let them settle and warm. When she is done, she should get the hang of it..you can put them to the nipple and encourage her to lay down, pet her back and head to soothe her.. They came out of mom with a full belly, so they can go for a few hours yet..even overnight, but we always feel better to see them nurse soon. Best of luck |

| Congrats! YorkieRose gave the best advice in the above post. All I can add is that I have squeezed a little milk out and put their mouth on it to get them to nursing right after birth. I'm sure they are going to nurse after mom settles down. Keep us posted. |
