The kittens are just about ready to start food

They are very mobile now and holding their heads up very well. One is already climbing legs and the scratching post. I've attempted the goat's milk and a little wet food mixture and that didn't go over well with the kittens but Carly loved it. I'm thinking I want to just get canned kitten food and feed them that but my problem is Carly. She has a very sensitive stomach and the dry pea and duck food as done a lot of good on her gut. If I try to feed the kittens she eats it all from them before I really get a good shot at showing them what to do. Do I separate her from us while I'm trying to feed them? What type of wet kitten food should I feed them? Do you think they will inherit her sensitive stomach so I have to go grain free with them as well?

My kittens went straight to a wet kitten food. I would think that if Carly's stomach is that sensitive you should keep her away from the kittens when you feed them. Post some pictures of them, I'd love to see them.

I need to but you too! They are the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Does she eat any type of dry? maybe mix both in on her side and kittens get all wet or soaked for a while till mush dry? I always found mom eating to be the key to the kittens learning better that food is to be eaten not stepped in and licked off feet/siblings
