My dog is nursing 6 pups. What food is best and how can I increase her energy?

Question

Is an all life stages dry food appropiate for a nursing mom or is puppy food better for her? What brand is highly recommended for nusing moms? She had her litter at 57 days, and she was expected to have 4, but she had 6! Any recommendations for her nutrition is accepted. Also, how can I increase her energy? 6 pups is a lot for a yorkie. She seems fine, I took her to the vet and they reasurred me she's ok, but she's the most important to me, and whatever I can do to help her, I will.

Puppy food is recommended over all life stages, i personally recommend one of the following: Orijen, Acana or Evolve. i advise giving her small meals 4-5 times a day, you can add wet puppy food as well it may help with her energy levels.
