Feeding Guidelines (Approximate)
Here is a guideline for how much to feed per day, based on the kitten’s weight and age (these are general estimates):
(pethealth.direct)
| Kitten weight | Volume per day | Age (days) | Number of feeds per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g | ~ 50 mL | 2‑7 days | 6–12 feeds (including overnight) |
| 200 g | ~ 80 mL | 8‑21 days | ~ 8 feeds |
| 400 g | ~ 135 mL | 22‑28 days | 6–8 feeds (incl. one overnight) |
| 600 g | ~ 180 mL | 29‑35 days | 4–6 feeds |
| 1 kg | ~ 250 mL | 36‑42 days | ~ 3 feeds |
After ~36 days, start shifting to more solid food, reducing milk gradually. (pethealth.direct)
