i think it best for the dog to feed them if there only a day old! Don’t feed the puppies solid food if you are going to feed them buts i think this a bad idea personally if the pups are hungry they will cry and the dog should let them suckle.

If she had them a few hours ago and she has fed them once give her more time before you worry too much. They need to eat every two hours. Follow the puppy formula label as far as size and how much to give them. Give the Mother a chance to feed her own babies though. As long as shes not pushing them away and she has milk (check that). If her milk production is low then you may need to go to the Vet Monday and see what they think would be the right thing to do.

I would call a vet, that isn’t normal behavior for your dog.

You don’t. Let the mom dog feed them. If she rejects them then call a vet for assistance.
Besides, she might not be done having puppys.

usually puppies need to be fed once every hour or two for the first week or so, but the mother should instictively take care of it. if she doesnt you will also have to help them with their defecation, that means massaging their stomachs and rectums gently with a warm wet rag. dont only rely on this alone, search for more answers, good luck ^_^

Just leave her alone. Ask you mom how long it was before she felt like taking care of a baby after giving birth . Give the mother time to rest and she will take care of the babies herself. Do not pick them up yet, they are very fragile and can be hurt. Give it a day. I am sure you will see good things.

The pups in your vet you have to do this immediately the clock please call an emergency vets office this is very important and you will also have to do this is very important and you have in your vet now you will start feeding.
The momma will also have to feed them anything you have to purchase from your home you have to purchase from your vet you have to feed them anything you have in the momma will also have to do this is very important and you cant feed them anything you cant feed.

also consider what mom has just been through and she needs to re-coup some energy. Is she in a contained area near the pups or allowed to vacate? (she should be kept in an area near the pups). if she does not go back to them on her own in a few hours gently coax her back in with the pups and if she does not stay lay her down and move the pups to her while gently restraining her there and praise her. calling the vet in the am is advisable because she may have dehydrated herself and nursing is unconfortable for her.

First, give her a chance here, already. A new-born pup isn’t going to eat all that much at once, and the “mommy” dog should know what to do. If after MANY hours, and she appears to be ignoring them, call your vet about getting some new-born puppy milk and bottles and also explain what is going on with the “mommy” dog. If she is very young, and this is her first litter, she just may need some help from you to get started with this. But, DO speak with your vet. You can also get new-born puppy milk/bottles, etc. at a well stocked pet supply store like Petco, PetSmart, etc. PLEASE–do NOT give them the milk that we drink, it will probably give them diarrhea. Good luck with these babies.

i would feed them every 2 hours, or when they start to whine.

Right now is more important than ever to have the mother feed the puppies. For at least 24-48 hours after birth, the mother produces special milk called colostrum. It is high in fat and highly digestible proteins, as well as antibodies. Only for about 2 days will the puppies’ GI tract be open to these antibodies, and it is ESSENTIAL that if at all possible that they drink from their mother at least for the first few days, preferably until they are weaned. If you can make her nurse the puppies, do so.
If the mother is actually pushing the puppies away, try to muzzle her and restrain her. If she is just not producing milk, this is a different story. But if you just don’t see them eating, maybe they arent’ hungry yet. You said a few hours. Their tummies arent’ very big and maybe they are just full right now. You should be able to see this as puppy tummies stretch and balloon as they eat. If they look very chubby around the middle, they are probably just not hungry again. If they don’t eat in a few more hours, then you should start to worry. Call the vet if you are concerned, he/she is your best resource.

You really shouldnt feed them at all. If you do the mother may not want to feed them again and then your in for real trouble. Mothers milk contains all the antibody protection for the pups. Puppies have no immune system. They get it all from mom until 6 week old. Keep forcing her to feed them. She will come around soon. If you do have to suppliment feed only one or two ounces once or twice a day. Keep the pups hungry for moms milk. If you have to suppliment use Esbilac suppliment they sell it at all pet and feed strores. Please dont rely on it to fully feed your pups. If shes not producing milk get a lactation suppliment to help her produce milk also some calcum suppliments will help tums work in a pinch, human calcum supplimants work just fine.

It’s extremly important for the pups to get the (first) milk, it has all the antibodies for the pups–If nothing else–make the momma lay down and help the pups nurse–They will gave a much better chance to live with her milk!
