I fully agree with Irene... Do a stool check several times..and go from there. Worming a 2/4 week old is so risky..
You should do a stool on mom before the pups..I realize some types of larve live in the bitches system and are dormant..but I think this is round worms. Hook worms show up in a bitches stool check and can be dangerous. You can worm the bitch before breeding. Round and tapes are not as life threathening and can be rid, if the stool shows they have them at 5 or 6 weeks.
