Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At 6 weeks of age Mika can be completely weaned and be eating 100% puppy food. Milk replacers can be very constipating so I recommend bottle fed babies be weaned sooner then puppies that are nursing. I would start getting her on puppy food. As long as she poops tomorrow I think you she will be fine. I hope this helps and I wish Mika the best!
