When will the puppies need to start on puppy food?

My dog had puppies on 4/25. When should we start them on puppy chow? I was sure it was 4 weeks but she is now acting like she does not want to nurse then anymore, I wasn't sure if I had wrong information. Thanks!!!

1. By four weeks (so not long now) you should be mixing puppy food with warm water until it is like a gruel and be feeding them that, along with them still having their mum's milk. Why oh why oh why did you not research this before your puppies were born? Your lack of initiative actually worries me. Get your dog spayed after this litter is fully weaned. You have no business breeding dogs if you don't even know the fundamentals to caring for a nursing litter.
2. Google it. It is now 12+ weeks since she was bred, and 3+ since she had her litter. You should know this already
