At 3months he should be able for dry food, if necessary to get him started you may wet with one cup of warm water. If wetted, it must be removed after 20mibs before it starts to ferment as his can cause diarrhea. I would not recommend adding milk as this alters the carefully balanced minerals in the diet and can also cause stomach upsets

    Starter can fed dry or wetter with warm water and fed within 20mins (milk not required as food is completely balanced). At approximately 2months and an adult weight of 30-35kg he should currently be eating approx 30g per day
