You should separate the baby hamsters from the mother when they are 4-5 weeks old. Hamsters are solitary creatures and should be kept in separate cages after they reach this age. If you keep them together, they will fight, sometimes to the death and/or reproduce. Female hamsters are sexually mature at 2 months old. They can become pregnant every 3-4 days (estrus) and their pregnancy lasts 16-18 days.

Well if you take away all of her babies then yes she will feel some lonesome and it may cause her to wine,scratch,runny nose.But if you leave at least one baby hamster with her she will not be upset and none of those symtyms above will happen.So i recomend you sell all of them(exept one.)and give the one you have not sold to the mother hamster and take care of her. p.s. you will not have to take care of the baby as much as you take care of the mother because the mother will take care of the baby but do feed her and love her as the mother hamster does.
