Start weaning the older pups, introduce the food to them wet with a bit of goats milk warmed, soon they will eat more from the bowl than mom.
Suppliment the mom with milk right away...give her small amounts of goats milk (no cows milk) or cottage cheese along with her puppy food 3- 4 times daily or she might get eclampsia with the extra load. In a real pinch you can give her 1/2 tablet of tums daily but the other is better for her.
I prefer using goats milk over the puppy formula if you plan on feeding the puppies via bottle, you can find it at most health food stores.
good luck to you, she is a great mom accepting them as her own, you should be proud.
hope this helps
