You don't have to wait at all. The sooner you touch them the mom wont be bothered later.
Puppies should not be bathed until they are at least 8 weeks old. Younger puppies are not able to regulate their body temperature well and are more sensitive to cold. Waiting until they are 8 weeks old ensures they are more capable of handling the bathing process without any risks.
Puppies are able to regulate their own body temperature at around 3 weeks old.
Puppies should get first all their nourishment from mother but when they reach 6 weeks, they should be introduced to small amounts of puppy food until they'll be able to complete nutrition to 8 weeks.
You should be able to feel the puppies move at around 6 1/2 weeks during gestation.
For the first few weeks, puppies are nursed on milk produced by the mother dog. As the pups develop they need to start transitioning to solid food. If assistance from the breeder is not available to produce gruel for the puppies to eat, the mother dog will eat and partially digest food which she then vomits for the puppies to eat. This sustains the puppies while they practice eating solid food until they are able to digest it themselves.
Chihuahua puppies should be at least 8 weeks old before given up for adoption, although waiting until they are 10-12 weeks is better. Before allowing them to leave their mom, they should be able to eat hard puppy food on their own.
Newborn puppies typically begin attempting to walk around two to three weeks of age. At this stage, their coordination and strength are developing, and they may wobble or stumble as they start to explore their surroundings. By four weeks old, most puppies are able to walk steadily.

1 Most dogs stop nursing their puppies when they are about 7-8 weeks old, because they are usually able to eat dry food by then. They normally will continue to watch after their pups until they are taken away for the mother.
generally not until 20 weeks
Puppies are the same as kittens. They need to eat lots. I think they need to eat a tiny bit more than dogs because puppies need to grow. No, that doesn't mean starve your puppy if you want it to stay a puppy, it needs to eat and whether it eats or not, it will grow. Its just puppies need to grow. Just leave a bowl of puppy food out and put the puppy in front of it until it learns that the spot is where the food bowl is. Dogs, they eat when they want. They shouldn't eat as much as puppies though cause then they could end up getting fat. =3 Woof
Yes most of the time. Unless the puppy is blind they should be able to see you. Puppies eyes take about a week and a half or two weeks for their eyes to open so they should be able to see you.
