At 12 weeks old is good and with a shampoo made for Puppys.
Generally, newborn pups don’t need to be bathed up until they are about three months old, and most canine shampoos are for dogs which are at least 3 months old, however, you can still bathe younger puppies if they are visibly dirty or smelly.
I recommend if they are visibly dirty to just wash them with water.
Also, there are some canine spritzers that can be massaged into dry or wet fur. Some of these are formulated to be gentle enough for a puppy - just read the fine print.
