Leave her alone. Make sure she has PLENTY of water available to drink, and her regular lactation food if she feels like eating. (Do NOT give her milk or table scraps!!!)
Tomorrow, when you take her and the pups in for their routine postpartum checkup, she's likely to get a shot to help her uterus finish contracting, once they've confirmed there are no more pups up in there. They'll also check all the pups for congenital defects like cleft palate, atresia ani, extra dewclaws, etc. They are going to go over some VERY important things for you to do/watch for over the next few weeks with both mom and babies, so take a pad and pen so you can take plenty of notes.

I think that the puppies mom will be able to manage the puppies on her own. You don't say how many she gave birth to. There usually is a pup or two that are( the runt and one next to the runt) smaller than the rest of the puppies. These little ones have a hard time getting their fair share of moms milk, so if you can let these guys eat about 10 minutes before the other bigger puppies eat from their mom. Try to do this at least twice a day. Or you will find a big size difference in the pups.

you don't do anything you just let her do it her self. the only time you will help her is if she can't push, the pups are backwards. dogs have been having pups for a long time and never needed our help before and they don't need it now unless they are having complications. times have changed and now they sometimes need our help. but in this case you don't need to do anything, just watch her to make sure that she is doing ok. if you see any problems then you will need to call the vet and get her into the vet. good luck and have fun with your new litter.

sell them, and keep two for more puppies, you could get into the dog breeding business, are they pure bread? are they valuable like those big french poodles? you should sell them to a pet store like, pets are people too, or something like that.
