My dog just had 5 beautiful puppies and they are 6 days old and I wanted to know if I can feed them puppy formula while they still feeding with mom.

Mom should have enough milk for all five puppies and you should not need to hand feed them formula. If you think they are not getting enough milk, have it verified by your vet. In that case you can supplement with puppy formula while they are still feeding from mom.
