I feed my chihuahua bitches up from rouphly the 6th week but i have a bitch who has whelped on her 56th night both times and is starving at about 5 weeks but she does have very large litters for her breed. When i feed up i just gently switch on to puppy( royal cannin) and also give egg, chicken, fish, whelpie and some enjoy rice pudding. ohhh and my old girlie used to love mash!! I then feed pretty much the same diet( but adlib) until the puppies are weaned and for as long as needed afterwards to ensure shes back up to peak condition
