At about 5 to six weeks old, one to two times a day,start to offer the puppies a mush. (This is a mixture of puppy food soaked in warm water). It is more readily accepted if it is warm. Put a dish of clean water for them to get used to it at each feeding too.Increase the feeding times to 4 times a day as the puppies eat more increase the amount. They will make a mess of it and get more on them than in them but they will get the hang of it. By the time the puppies are 8 weeks old they should be mostly on the puppy food and off their mothers milk. As the puppies nurse less the mother will start to produce less milk and help in this process.
Here is what I would do: I'd still give the puppies milk. But I would start mixing soft, canned puppy food in with the food.
