Why are my puppies still nursing and mom still allowing it?

ajruff2000 asked:


My pekingese had puppies nine weeks ago and she still nurses them every now and again. The puppies eat solid food. Is this a comfort thing for the puppies and mom? Will this effect them when they have to eventually leave the nest?
Thank you for all the advice. I bought her a child size moon chair(spiderman!). She jumps in it to get a break. I think you loved me for that!

Another funny detail, now dad will come down and get a taste too right along side the pups. He’s different!

    How long are you planning on keeping them?? If you want to sell them soon you should keep mom away from pups most of the day to get them used to being away from mom. Also this will make it so they can’t nurse.
