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.
Bottle fed babies can often last around 3-4 hours between feeds. It is important to not enforce a regimented feeding routine on your baby at 3 weeks. Aim to be realistic and not expect too much. You’ll find your baby dozes off to sleep quite easily at 3 weeks, commonly after a feed or when you are cuddling them. Having a tummy full of warm milk acts as a natural sedative so the most realistic time to expect young babies to settle is after they have fed. Another way to calculate how much to feed your baby is to multiply her weight by 2.5 and divide that by the number of feedings per day (For example: 8 lb. Baby x 2.5/6 feedings = 3.3 ounces of formula per feeding). Try to start your first feeding around 7 or 8 a.m., and feed her until she has lost interest in the bottle, burped and seems full.

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.
Who doesn’t love a wedding? Glammed-up guests, free booze, yummy food, and the feeling of love in the air. Well, this week I found out who weddings aren’t great for; new mothers with two and a half week-old babies, sporting lingering postnatal baby bumps and overzealous lactating breasts!
Actually, the wedding was fabulous, but shopping for an outfit for it was not. I managed to scamper into town, with Rowan in the sling, between the preschool drop off and pick up, and I headed to the high street with hopeful expectations. After 3 hours, 4 outfits, 2 lattes and a few tears I managed to find a navy jump suit that provided the necessary ‘boob access’. Now came the inevitably disastrous underwear search.
Now I have to admit that I am a bit of a ‘middle of the road’ underwear purchaser – I’m a total Marks & Spencer girl. So because I’m used to getting my 2 t-shirt bras for £20 I totally begrudge spending quadruple that price just because some designer has sewed on two plastic clips to enable me to flop my boobs out. So I gave up and went with my trusty M&S nursing top.
I shouldn’t have worried though as the control pants I wore to keep my tummy in were so huge that I could have tucked my breasts in the top of them. And after my first sniff of Pimms in over 9 months, an hour in I didn’t actually care who was looking at me.
The wedding did highlight the ‘issue’ of public breastfeeding though. The fact that this is even a phrase baffles me. ‘Public’ breastfeeding suggests that either my baby is aware when he is mingling with the general public, and his bowel habits would tell me otherwise, or that it is a conscious and courageous decision for me to continue my parenting skills outside of the family home. If I don’t feed him in public then I either need to not go out, ever, or let him starve. Neither seem like great options to be honest.
I consider myself to be quite open-minded and understanding of other people’s opinions on most things but ‘anti-public breastfeeding’ I just don’t get. Seriously, grow up! It’s a nipple, both sexes have them, don’t be scared. I encourage all the women I see as a midwife to get out there and feed in public as early as possible, whether breast or bottle feeding, not in order to make a political stand or flash the world their areolae, but because socialising and resuming normal daily life is crucial to positive postnatal mental health. Oh yeah, and because babies need milk!

Your chosen method of infant feeding should NEVER stop you getting on with your day. Whether women feel more comfortable under a cover, in a corner, sat with other feeders, or fully exposed outside the Houses of Parliament, I don’t care, just get out there and do it.

I could go on and on about this subject, but I won’t, mainly because my baby needs feeding. But all women should know their rights, so here is a link explaining the Public Breastfeeding Rights in the UK.
