Now that Willow has just 5, she actually seems more relaxed and pups are not crying for milk. I have been so busy that I was not able to weigh pups at 7. I have spot weighed them but will play catch up at 7am.
I am finding I have no downtime and a ton of work. This will get easier.
Willow's gal who is with Spirit has now had 3 feedings and have gained each time. I am glad that moms - both handled it well and pups are now gaining and not fussing.
Willow's remaining pups seem that they don't have to compete as much for milk stations.
Now if I didn't have another mother to feed the pup, I would have had to start tube feeding every 2 hours. Moms milk is always better and you do not have to worry about aspiration.
