Ds is just 5 days old today - and in some ways its going great. Had only mild soreness which is already easing off, he seems to latch on and feed fine etc, and even managed to breastfeed him comfortably in public yesterday (big thing for me). However since day 2 he has gone on a feeding frenzy in the evenings. My little boy is 3 weeks old and over the last couple of days he seems o have started feeding excessively. He went to sleep at 21:30 last night and woke again at 22:30, he fed but wouldn't settle at all and we ended up sat up until 2:30 this morning, then he was up again at 6:00 and won't go back down:-( He's feeding about every half an hour when he's not asleep, he'll nod off whilst he's.
Feeding puppies blended up food before they are ready will equal this. Puppies covered in food. They walk in it and get it all over their faces and do a face plant in it. Last year I know of two puppies that died at 3.5 weeks old from inhaling mush and getting a bacterial infection in their lungs.

At 3 to 5 weeks, depending on your dog's breed size, take good quality puppy kibble and soak it 2 parts water and 1 part kibble. Some kibble needs more water than others. The kibble will hold it's shape and soak up the water. You want to use as much water as you can and have the kibble pieces swell up and go very soft. Give the food to the puppies in their eating area, not in their potty area or their play area. The puppies will be able to pick up a piece of soaked kibble and eat it. If they are not ready to do this they are not ready to eat solid food.

A dam will often let you know it is time to start feeding the pups solid food when you see her regurgitate her kibble for them. It is a sure sign that soaked kibble is what you should be feeding them. Listen to the dam's instincts. I find if I try to wait until 5 weeks to add solid food to their diet, the dam will beat me to it the day or two before. This confirms that the timing was right on.
