I touched my new born kittens as soon as Midnight had cleaned them up.
My cat trusts me, so no problem holding her kittens, but I still held them where she could see me and petted her too and let her know I was going to lay it right back down with her. I didn't hold them but a minute or so, just long enough to let them know humans where ok too! Then every day I would hold each one for a short period and pet and talk to them.

How do I know the mother dog will let me touch her new born puppies?
Interacting with a mother dog and her newborn puppies should be approached with care and respect. Here are some tips to help ensure the mother dog is comfortable with you touching her puppies: Observe Her Behavior: Watch how the mother dog reacts when you’re near her and the puppies. If she seems calm and relaxed, she might be more open to you touching the puppies. Wait for the Right Time: Avoid touching the puppies immediately after birth or during feeding. Wait until the mother dog is more comfortable and relaxed, typically after the first few days. Approach Slowly: Move slowly and calmly. Sudden movements can startle the mother dog. Speak in a soothing voice to help reassure her. Respect Her Space: Allow the mother dog to come to you or approach the puppies herself. Do not force interaction. Use Gentle Touch: If the mother dog allows you to touch the puppies, do so gently and minimally. Be aware that she may still be protective. Ask for Advice: If you’re unsure or the mother dog seems anxious, it’s best to consult with a veterinarian or an experienced breeder for guidance. Always prioritize the comfort and well-being of both the mother dog and her puppies during interactions.
