often mothers will eat their stillborn or babies that die shortly after birth, it is a natural instinct, to hide the scents of birth from predators. Sometimes a sow can get carried away with grooming the babies clean, they do it quite aggressively, as it is also to stimulate the babies, if the baby is stillborn or weak, the mom is going to keep trying to groom until she hears the baby cry out.
