What breed are they? How are they doing on the solid food? How are you planning on weaning them? Please give us more background information and we'll be able to help you more.

Try grinding up kibble in the blender and adding a little chicken broth to make it mushy. Watery enough so they won't choke on it, not a pasty consistancy. See how they do on that once a day. You won't have to make much, just a taste, and let mom continue to feed. Every few days , if they are showing intrest in solid food, you can make more and still feed once a day then bring it up to twice a day. As they get older don't grind it so fine , leave a chunk or two in there to see if they can handle it. Soon you'll be feeding them regular kibble.

As you continue to feed a slopy mix of puppy kibble soaked, feed two times a day and up to three, the mom will automatically know they are getting fed and full, she will feed less and less till she has weaned them off. They know your feeding them, she can tell when they are not hungry and will quit on her own, just let her do the work, feed her normal chow or kibble as u did before she got pregnant.
