Puppies are like human babies and you should phone your vet for a formula if the puppies are still feeding from the mother or she can't feed them. If they are eating puppy food now, then no, you should give them milk because it can cause diarrhea in puppies (or kittens.)
I'm sorry, but i disagree with the above answer. I raised Great Pyrenees puppies for 22 years and I always fed my puppies extra milk and it did not give them dirrhea. Wormy pups are the ones that have the dirrhea because the parasites keep the intestines distressed and anykind of food change will cause this. If it's a big litter especially, even though mom is still feeding them the extra milk helps take the load off of her.
