Hi guys,
Kiddo will be 5 weeks old next Sunday and we want to start weaning him (is that the correct term)? With other kits I've had in the past, the transition was smooth because they would eat a bit and go back to their momma for milk. But Kiddo has no momma and we are bottle-feeding him. How should we make the switch to food? Will we still have to bottle-feed him for a while after he's learned to eat? I usually start my kits with dry kitten food softened with some water. Is that ok?
