Unless it's necessary to be helping the momma dog with whelping, you usually don't need to be touching the puppies right away. Some professional breeders may check the puppies for defects, weigh them etc. but it's not "required".
If you need to move a puppy, check it's health, help it 'latch on' to feed etc., only the person/s closest to the momma dog should do this. Letting too many people touch the puppies can disturb the mom and it's not good for the puppies either. They need time to suckle and bond with their mom.
Puppies younger than about three weeks of age pretty much just eat and sleep. That's all they need to do and it's important to their development that they get the chance to do this in peace.
No one outside of the immediate owner/s of the dog and puppies should be allowed to visit or touch the pups, as the risk of passing on diseases and infections is high. The only exception to this is veterinary staff.
Your pup/s will need first shots at around 7 weeks of age.
