I wouldn't the only bathing that I ever did is like wash any dirt off or nasties.
Usually the mother dog will clean them.
By washing them you are drying out the skin and eliminating the natural substance on the skin and introducing them to un- natural , un-healthy chemicals in the shampoos.

If at three weeks of age they are needing baths it sounds like they may not have enough room in their pen. Three week old puppies will eliminate in one area in their pen, assuming it is big enough for them. I use blankets and put newspapers in one corner and my pups all use the newspapers at 3 weeks. Would I bathe them?? No way, too many risks to their sensitive systems.
