Question The right time to seperate mom an babies?

Hi all,
My cat gave birth to 5 babies, just over 5 weeks ago, although shes eating well she has got so thin she looks skeletal.
I can feel her spine ,shoulders and she has no fat covering at all.
She seems fine in herself and is still producing milk, but i was wondering how early can i seperate her from her babies.
They are all on solid food and using the litter tray, but would i cause any behavioural problems in the future by seperating them early.
My neighbours cat had kittens and they were in there new homes at 6 weeks, i will be keeping them untill 13 weeks anyway, but do you think they would be ok without mom this early?
Thanks in advance jenny xx
