You usually only need to do this to help them eliminate for the first 2-3 weeks. After that, they will go on their own. Below is a link to some good information about how to care for orphaned puppies in case there is any other assistance you may need to provide. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/puppy-orphaned I hope that helps and all is well with the pups.
