that answer is ridiculous. ! They are ready to go to new homes at 6-8 weeks. You should start weaning at 3-31/2 weeks, depending on breed.

Your question pertains to 'how to wean puppies'. "When you begin to wean the puppies do it very gradually so that their fragile digestive systems do not get upset. A sudden change will generally give the puppies diarrhea. You can ask your veterinarian what type of soft food will be best for your puppies. It is always best to choose a soft food that is made just for puppies. Puppy food has the extra nutrients and minerals that puppies need. Some breeders prefer regular brand name puppy foods and others prefer all natural puppy foods."
