Expert Answer

Newborn puppies nurse 1-5 minutes each time; because intake is small they feed frequently, about every 2-3 hours. If the mother’s milk is insufficient, boost her nutrition or feed the pups formula.

After weaning, continue formula for a while, then add puppy kibble softened in formula or warm water.
