Expert Answer

Newborn puppies need feeding every 2 to 3 hours, but if the mother nurses them you need not worry, since they nurse when hungry; just ensure her milk supply is ample. If her milk is low, supplement her nutrition. With a large litter, weaker pups may get too little, so let them feed first.
