You need to worm a female two weeks after pups are born and every two weeks thereafter. Same with the pups. You can use Pyrantel or Safeguard (fenbendazole).

If you already wormed her, offer her dry food with canned dog food three or more times a day. We had a female that would only eat Peanut Butter sandwiches until we offered her Pride Dog Food orange bag (24/30 I believe).

KEEP HER ON AN AUTOMATICE FEEDER, AND ALSO AT 3 WEEKS YOU CAN START FEEDING PUPPY PUREE! IT WILL HELP THE PUPS GROW AND TAKE SOME OF THE FOCUS OFF MOM AS WELL!

Nurseing pups can really drain a bitch. I don't know what you are feeding but for that one dog, for a limited amount of time, I can afford to buy a bag or two of those outragiously high priced super feeds such as Diamond Extreme 32/20. Or something comparable. Keep feed in front of her all the time. The pups will get going on it also. I wouldn't do anything beyond that.
