How much should i be feeding my 6 month old kittens?
Q. My kittens birthday is on the 1st of July 2007. The turned 6 months old 1 week ago. Before they turned 6 moths old i was feeding them 4 meals a day with half a kitten pouch each, they are VERY healthy kittens! Some websites say now that they have turned 6 months old i should be feeding them 3 meals a day with 1 pouch each and some say other things! What should i be feeding them?

A. The "pouches" are the lowest quality cat food you can purchase - full of god knows what meat scraps, artificial coloring and flavor additives. If you will feed them a healthy food such as Wellness canned and Wellness kitten food they should both be able to put away a 5.5 oz can per day and whatever dry food they want. They don't need to eat as OFTEN now and because they have grown and are still growing they will need at least the same amount of food if not more.

When should I start feeding my puppies actual puppy food and not mothers milk?
Q. I have 7 puppies who are now about 2 1/2 weeks old still feeding off their mother. When should I start feeding then puppy chow and how should I start giving it to them?

A. The total lack of knowledge here is astounding! Jen is the only one who has a clue what she's talking about. When the puppies around 3 - 4 weeks old they will start getting teeth and Mom will be a lot less enthusiastic about feeding them. She will let them nurse, but they can start being introduced to puppy gruel. I take condensed milk (canned goat milk is good) and puppy food, put it in the blender and make a soupy gruel. I then heat it up slightly so that it's room/body temperature. It's best if you have one of those puppy pans that is raised in the middle so the food doesn't end up in the middle of the pan, but you can actually use a pie pan or cake pan in a pinch. I take two or 3 of the puppies and plunk them right down in… [cont.]

How much should I be feeding my puppy?
Q. I have a rotweiler chow mix puppy. He is about 30 pounds and is 3 months old. I feed him a cup at 7am and a cup again at 7pm. He gobbles it down so fast. Middle of the day is acts like he is starving. My question is how much should I be feeding him so that he gets his calorie needs but, not supporting obesity? The dog food bag isn't really a big help. I am feeding him what the vet recommended but, that was a month ago. Any suggestions?

A. If you are using a good dog food (not the purina puppy chow type stuff), there should be better guidelines stating the week/month they are in, their weight, and how much food they should get per day. I would call the vet again. And please don't listen to the moron that told you to open the bag and let the dog to to town!! I use Nutro Ultra large breed puppy food from Petsmart and it has great guidelines for the amount to feed. Good Luck.

A. Your kitten needs to be fed a high quality dry food. Wet food can cause diarrhea. If you decide to change to a different type of food do it gradually over about a period of 5 days to prevent stomach upset. I recommend Science Diet Kitten Formula. Yes, kitty needs to be drinking water and not milk. She's probably drinking while your not watching her. Plus she's getting some water from her wet food. As far as the fleas: Bathe her in dawn dish detergent and then wait 2 days and apply Revolution to prevent re infestation. You can get Revolution at the vets office.

I would stick with the once a week feeding or go maybe every 10 days, like the 10th, 20th, and last day of the month schedule, a happy red tail is one who isn't hungry. You don't necessarily have to have a big size difference's in the feeding rats, maybe sm. to medium, she should be content with this, however her character is the only way to tell, if she is steady "hunting" for feed, keep feeding her 1 wk. sm to med. rats. Just wait at-least 24 hrs up to 48 after feeding to handle her.

A. The mother will produce milk and let the kittens nurse on her. You only need to feed a kitten if the mother will not nurse it, if the mother is not producing enough milk for all of the kittens, or if one or more kittens will not nurse to get enough food. Most of the time the mother cat take care of all of the feeding until she decides it is time to wean the kittens off her milk and on to solid food. Normally, the kittens, as they are being weaned, will eat the same food you are providing for the mother. When the kittens are being weaned, it is a good idea to make sure that they are getting enough wet and dry food. If the mother is not around or cannot feed the kittens, you must start feeding them immediately but such an undertaking is… [cont.]

Q. I have a litter of 4 kittens that are 1 week old. When should i start feeding them?

A. The mother will produce milk and let the kittens nurse on her. You only need to feed a kitten if the mother will not nurse it, if the mother is not producing enough milk for all of the kittens, or if one or more kittens will not nurse to get enough food. Most of the time the mother cat take care of all of the feeding until she decides it is time to wean the kittens off her milk and on to solid food. Normally, the kittens, as they are being weaned, will eat the same food you are providing for the mother. When the kittens are being weaned, it is a good idea to make sure that they are getting enough wet and dry food.

When do I start feeding my daughter baby food?
Q. My daughter is 4 1/2 months old and started eating baby cereals when she was 4 months old. I've done a lot of research and a lot of sites say babies can start eating veggies and fruits at 4-6 months. I really just want to know when you started feeding your babies fruits and veggies. Thanks for the help! Oh yeah, also wondering if veggies or fruits come first? I'm assuming veggies, but correct me if I'm wrong!

A. I would wait for 6 months to introduce fruits and veggies. What I did was introduce one veggie, wait a few days, then a fruit, then veggie, then fruit. It doesn't matter too much. My son likes both. But, if you mix and match them, then after 4 foods, you can have a better variety for breakfast and dinner.

How can I start breast feeding if I have no breastmilk?
Q. I had my twins on Friday, they were born at 35 weeks by c-section. They are currently at the NICU at the hospital and I would like to take them some breast milk to start feeding them, but I have no breast milk. I have a manual pump that my mom brought me and I tried it but nothing happens. After pumping for a couple of minutes, theres only like 2-3 drops of colostrum. Am I supposed to keep trying until something comes out? Or is there anything I can do to make it start flowing?

A. Congratulations on your twins! I completely understand what you are going through. I needed to pump my breastmilk while my 35week gestation son was in the NICU for 3 weeks. However for the first 4 days I would only get 1-2 drops of colostrum after 20 minutes of pumping! It may not seem like a lot, but give that colostrum that you are getting to the nurses; even a little bit will help. My milk took about 5 days before it came in. And it was a week before I felt like I was actually getting a respectable amount. You really need a more powerful pump than a manual one. Especially as you are getting your milk supply started. With as much as you will be pumping you need a powerful one. A manual one will take you about an hour to get… [cont.]

How do I know when to stop breast feeding?
Q. I currently exclusively breast feed my 4mnth old baby. He was a big baby at birth 10lb12, so larger than the average baby , and Im beginning to wonder if he needs something heavier than breast milk. He seems to be feeding every two hours and still wakes several times in the night for feeding. (although he goes down at approx 7 and then wakes around 2am but then almost every 2hrs again after that) How do I know when to start weaning? Should I switch to formula?

A. Well done on getting this far! Breast milk is the perfect food for your baby, and at the moment he doesn't need anything else. It is recommended by the World Health Organisation that you don't feed anything but breast milk for the first 6 months. have a chat with your Health Visitor and see if she can offer you help and support
