When should my 6-week-old kitten stop milk and start drinking water?

Question

Hello! I've adopted a kitten of a month and a half. I've been giving her special cat milk and some soaked kibble and mashed wet food. How long should I continue giving her milk? She doesn't want to drink water. I also want to add thst she successfully eats dry kibble as well. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 month and 10 days old

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the milk you are giving is milk replacer, this should be continued until Missy is 8 weeks old. You can continue to transition her to hard kibble when she is about 8 weeks old. By that time, she should be eating hard kibble and you can discontinue the milk replacer. She is likely not drinking water as much due to getting her liquid from the wet food and milk replacer. She will begin to drink more water as you transition her to hard kibble. I hope this helps!
