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.
1 When the kittens are 3-4 weeks old, provide formula in a shallow dish as well as some kitten food that has been softened with water. 2  Offer these foods 4-6 times per day. 3  When the kittens are 6-12 weeks old, decrease the amount of formula that you offer them and begin to give them dry kitten food.ewborn kittens are fragile and even a small child could cause serious harm to a kitten. 3. Provide a place for the kitten(s) to sleep. If the kittens do not already have a place to sleep, make sure that you provide someplace for them that is warm, dry, and away from potential predators.
