Guinea pig babies are different from other rodent babies in that they're born ready - with fur, eyes open, able to eat solid foods and able to move - whereas other rodents are pink, hairless, blind and totally dependant on the parents for survival.
Mother guinea pigs do look after their babies (if you try and separate them, she'll call out for it) and suckle them, but if there's more than one lactating female, the babies will won't be too picky when it comes to suckling.
I've had guinea pigs which for whatever reason were separated from their mom's since birth, with no problems, but maybe it's ideal to leave them with her till they're totally weaned.
