Agreed. I had to command Liddy for the first 2 days then she decided I might
have a point. But if the milk is not coming in, you must feed the puppies,
can't let them starve waiting for Mom to produce milk.
My one smaller bitch pup could not get the hang of nursing. I suplimented
her for one good meal, then she relaxed and learned. She is still slightly
smaller, but she is adamant about her meals from mom now.

I agree with Iza on this. My girl took about 20 hours to realize that
the puppy I was forcing on her was Her puppy - not just A puppy!
Remember, your girl wasn't awake to see him born, she just woke
up sore and nauseous, and that little creature was just there.
I wouldn't supplement - make sure the baby is nursing, even
if you have to order mom into the whelping box and make her
lay there until he's done. Encourage her to do the cleaning, too,
if possible. Going through the motions will help her instincts
kick in and the baby needs that colosterum the first 48 hours
to benefit from her immunity.
Good luck,
Janice

Seriously, keep trying with the puppy - if she's a first-time mom, or the
c-section was just a day or so early, she needs a day or so -
