Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend canned puppy food at 5 weeks of age. You can add puppy formula to it to get him used to it for a week. I do not recommend human dairy products. The Cerelac has a lot of moisture and that is probably why he isn't drinking much. As long as he is eating, urinating and pooping he should be fine. Good luck!
