I don’t believe that this can be caused by the mothers milk. However, it could possibly be caused by GI parasites. You did not say if the puppies had been dewormed by the veterinarian. If not, you should speak to your veterinarian about obtaining deworming medications for the puppies and possibly also for the mom.
