    Normally, moms of newborns have to be forced to leave their puppies to go to the bathroom. They stay with their litters 24 hours a day, nursing and cleaning their puppies when the puppies are this young.

    24/7 the mom needs to stay will the pups all the time unless she needs to go potty then let her out and then bring her right back in.

    obviously you know nothing of breeding and should not have done it. and if you say it was an accident it really wasnt you just didnt pay attention enough.

    A lot! Depends on how big the litter is, but they feed a lot for the first week. The mom should have free access to the puppies, if she chooses to be away from them, make sure that it’s not for more than an hour at a time. Especially when they are newborns, the mom will keep them clean and warm, if she is kept apart from them, they could get sick and she could have problems with too much milk in her udders causing swelling and infections.
