Knowing when to wean kittens benefits the kittens as well as the mother cat. As kittens grow, they require more nutrition. The mother cat will benefit because her body will no longer need to produce as much milk. Kittens will naturally begin the weaning process when they are four to five weeks old. During weaning, kittens still benefit from continued access to their motherâs milk and should have free access to it when possible.
Best Answer: The mother should wean the kittens herself at about 8 weeks but they will start to eat kitten food around 4-6 weeks.

They should get first shots at 8 weeks old. Its best to let mom decide when to wean them, but you can start offering them canned kitten food mixed with KMR from age 4-6 weeks. Some kittens are not interested in eating solid food till 5 or 6 weeks old.
