my orphaned kitten is 4 weeks old, i'm not going to introduce him to solid food for another week, i'm just wondering how many grams shall i feed him per day of lactose milk?

I usually introduce solids from around 4 weeks onwards,i feed mashed up hilife kitten pouches,lactose is not nessasary,sometimes i mash food with some cimicat(milk substitute)which would be good for your kitten as he`s not getting milk from mum.

Do you mean lactol kitten milk?

I have handreared dozens of kittens now, so this is what i would do.

I would be starting to wean now, so 3/4 small meals a day of mashed wet food with the lactol (kitten milk replacement) added.

I would also be offering him his bottle/milk in a saucer inbetween times for the next week or two, including a long feed (bottle) still at night (this is when mum usually settles with them for a feed).

As the kitten is handreared, i would still be helping him stimulate his bowels too until he is fully weaned onto solids only.

Hope it helps xxxx
