They will make noise or wiggle when nursing. Especially if they aren't getting milk or are not positioned properly. Do not stress. Most bitches will nurse their litters uneventfully. You can monitor each puppy's weight to ensure adequate feeding and weight gain.

Usually no, they don't make much noise as they're feeding. I would be concerned that maybe they're not getting enough milk if you're hearing crying as they try to feed. They should be gaining about 10% more body weight (as compared to the previous day) every day, so if you're weighing them and they're not, you may need to supplement with a good quality milk replacer, like Esbalac or Royal Canin Baby Dog Milk and bottle feeding.
