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.
