They actually do. I remember someone explaining to me that when a bitch is stressed out enough to the point that she believes that predators will attack her, she will eat her trouble pups to keep a low-profile. I don't know if that's actually true, but it's an interesting theory nonetheless.

I did some digging and saw another theory which suggested that mothers have the instinct to eat their cubs if they are not fit for survival.

That could be it. I may have misremembered it.
