Your pup can be weaned as young as 4 weeks of age. Ideally the pup should remain with his or her Mom up to 8 week of age but if she is ignoring the pup, then wean the pup. Do not let the pup nurse off of its Mother, so her milk can dry up. Feed the pup a good name brand dry puppy food. Soften it at first with warm water, feed 2-3 times a day, all that it can eat within about 10 minutes, pick up any left over food. As the pup gets older, feed it the dry puppy food without it being softened with water.

If the puppy is old enough to be weaned, then separate the mother from the pup. Put them in separate rooms until her milk dries up. At the same time, make sure the pup can eat. Start with adding warm water to food to make a mash. You may have to hand feed until the pup catches on that this food tastes good---which doesn't take long (a few tastes).If your pup is too young to be weaned, take the mom to a vet for a check and switch the pup to bottle feeding.
