By 4 weeks of age, Alice is old enough to start eating soft kitten food, but she should still have some kitten milk replacer (KMR) in her diet. Soft kitten food can mean either canned kitten food or dry kitten food that has been soaked with water for 10 minutes. If the offering bottles is becoming cumbersome, you can also try putting the KMR in a saucer or shallow bowl to allow her to lap it up.
