6 week old baby

[archna]

So my baby is 6 weeks today and we have

moved her feeding to 3 times a day earlier this week. She gets fed around 8am 3pm and again at 10pm... I needed some suggestions on this feeding schedule? Is it ok? She weighs 334grams I weighed her before the morning feeding today.... of course, she has not been introduced to any weaning food yet, we want to wait until she is 8wks old to do that and also move her to a cage and outta the brooder, which I can't stand her being in there!

 

please help if anyone has any suggestions...

 

thank you kindly!

After your baby reaches 6/ 7/ 8 weeks of age and has made the transition from brooder to cage, it is time to begin introducing weaning food.Pellet food is a safe food to start weaning your baby onto with the addition of seed,fruit, veggies.Also have a separate water dish next to his food.Check your baby's crop before the night time feeding to monitor how much if any of the warm, moistened pellets your baby is eating. Do not leave moistened pellets or vegetables in baby's cage more than 4 hours to prevent spoilage.
