Normally, the kitten weaning process begins at about four weeks of age. âWith mom, theyâll start to try to eat her food, and sheâll push them away from her,â says Benson. But if youâre weaning a kitten that has been orphaned, you can start a little earlier, between three and four weeks. Supplement with formula if the kitten is not taking to the new food, to make sure it gets enough calories. 2  Weeks 5-6: The weaning kittens should start to nibble on the kibble, slightly moistened with water. 3  Weeks 6-7: By now, the kitten weaning process is complete, and they should be eating all solid food by week seven.
Kittens are usually old enough to start eating solid foods when they're around 3 or 4 weeks in age, according to veterinarian J. Veronika Kiklevich of CatChannel.com. They're usually read to eat solid foods exclusively when they're between 6 and 7 weeks old.By then there is no need for them to nurse with mom.oft food is much easier for kittens to manage -- remember, they've never eaten solid food before. Whether the food is canned or dry, blend it thoroughly with kitten formula that is slightly warmed. Once they're around 6 weeks old, however, you can stop mixing the food in with formula.
