The Power from Sleeping With Mom.
Mom keeps the house warm.
When puppies are firstborn, they are pretty helpless. For the first two weeks of their life, they can’t regulate their body temperature and need to be cuddled with mom and the other puppies to keep warm.
They sleep at the bottom of the pile of siblings. As they compete for the best position, this develops social skills.
They can’t wiggle their way to mom and claim a teat. Their legs are almost useless, but they soon strengthen up, and within a week or two they are moving around a lot easier.

In the first 10 weeks of their life, your puppy needs to be with their mother. If the mother dog is allowed to do her thing, your life will be a lot easier.
You will have plenty of time to become a dog mom after those vital weeks, and the puppy you choose will be easier to train, bond with, and resistant to disease.

Being with mom means playing under her caring gaze, sleeping without any fears, and learning to grow into a confident dog as they grow older and become more independent.

By the time they are 8 weeks old, the mother will be happy to get her life back to herself, as one by one the puppies go to their new homes. The puppies have learned some basic discipline because of her care and guidance.
She devoted weeks to shaping the puppies into acceptable pack members that will go out into the world with assurance and self-reliance.
