At 4 or 6 months you need to separate the baby the mother will need to dry up and no the momma will not wean the baby it will let it keep suckling and as long as its suckling the mother will still produce milk
It's different for every animal, but typically, babies do wean themselves. I have animals and though most wean themselves, sometimes you have to separate the baby from the mother for a period of time and then you can put the baby back in. At least it's easy to do that with guinea pigs...

Baby Rabbits Can Be Separated From Its Mother When 8 Weeks Have Passed,Or When It Starts Eating Regular Rabbit Food.By about seven to eight weeks old a baby rabbit should be fully weaned and ready to be separated from its mother. However, do not start this process before at least four weeks of age. Up until then it's vital that they get the nutrition and immunity protection that their mother's milk provides. During the next few weeks the mother's milk will begin to dry up and she would naturally wean the baby herself. During this time the baby rabbit can gradually be introduced to adult food such as greens, vegetables, pellets, and hay.

A wise nursing mother will consider the emotional repercussions when deciding to wean her child. There is a huge emotional bond that is built as a mother nurses her child. It is not just the physical closeness that is the issue. During breast feeding there is a large release of hormones that build the mother/child bond. There will always come a time when a mother has to wean her child, but it is best for her to understand ahead of time that she will feel a loss when it is time to wean. Knowing this, she can look forward to the next stage of life for her growing child.
