When we talk about taking care of a neonate or a newborn or a tiny kitten, for me, that's a kitten under 8 weeks of age. What we do for a 1-2-week-old kitten is different than what we do for a 2-4-week-old kitten.In that first 2 weeks of life, in partnership with your veterinarian, you're making sure they don't need medical care. The feeding is generally every 2-3 hours, even during the night. When they get to be about 2-4 weeks of age, we're moving to about every 4-6 hours. The kittens still have very small stomachs during this age of development, and so frequent feedings are still really important. When we hit 4-6 weeks of age, this is where we are probably feeding about 4 times a day, or every 6 hours. And that's when we're starting to change up what we're feeding them.
