Question Weaning is more difficult than expected

I dont know if momma is spoiling these babies or what... but they dont stop nursing from her & they are going to be 7 weeks on Saturday... I am trying to keep them in the cage with food for at least 10-15 mins, but they refuse. I started doing this yesterday. Before I would just let them out of the cage & put the food down but they would drink from mom for 5-10 mins & then eat but very lil. I dont know why she doesnt stop feeding them when they all have their teeth already.

The other thing that annoys me is she wont stop eating their food, she'll kick them out & eat their food, why?

Any help, suggestions, tricks would be appreciated... BTW they are eating btwn wellness puppy canned food w/ regular dog food in powder or regular dog food left in goat milk for an hour to become soft... they eat, but when they want, not like their being picky eaters... they just are being hard to wean. HELP
