Weaning Kittens Off Bottle

They may just need a little help from you.

Weaning kittens off bottle. How do i wean a kitten off of mother s milk or bottle feeding. Place a heating pad or hot water bottle under the towels on one half of the box. In general kittens will need to be bottle fed for between four and six weeks. Kitten weaning is something that does not have a set time frame.

You should wean a kitten off of the bottle only when they are ready or show interest to be weaned off the bottle. This gives the kittens plenty of heat but also a place to cool off if they are too hot. Kitten weaning is a natural process. You just need to know what you are doing.

That being said it is important to remember that there is no exact timetable for kittens any more than there is for a human baby who is going from bottle to solid foods. This should be done no earlier than four weeks old and no later than 12 weeks and needs to be done slowly. A little patience and a lot of love.
