What's normal poop for 9-day old puppies and their nursing mother?

Question

What is normal stool for 9 day puppies? And how should the mothers mammary glands look and feel? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 4 months old | 55 lbs

The stool is usually a little soft and can even be yellowish brown. The dam's mammary glands should feel full but not hard, hot or painful. If you notice anything abnormal, I would have your vet take a look at it. I do not recommend to wait too long as the puppies and mother need to stay healthy to maximize growth and prevent further issues. I hope this helps.
