I like to wait until they have enough good size leaves and a little root system of their own. But if they don't no worry it's ok they will root like a sucker.
For me the bigger the plants the stronger they are when leaving Mom to be on their own, they grow and mature faster .
Sometimes if their big I take a couple from Mom and put Mom and roots and small baby back into new solo cup fresh soil-less mixture.
I have taken them away small but feel the longer I leave them the easier it is for me, also they make for stronger babies.
I put my leaves down in 3 oz. solo cups and like it when the leaves are well coming over the top of the cups. Now if the Mom dies or for some reason it needs so I transplant at any needed given time. I wish I had a digital camera :(
But here is a picture of some of my babies still with Mom
