YorkieTalk Newbie! | How do I wean my pups and when? Hi, I'm a newbie to YT!! Our little one had her first litter some 3 weeks ago, 5 natural born beauts; unfortunately one died after 7 days... However the rest, three girls and a boy, are just fine. I helped our little one - assisted by giving extra MilkoPup to each of them. Now that they are strong, walking around, what can I feed them? Can they drink cow's milk? How do I wean them? Yorkie greetings Last edited by Dasha001; 08-08-2012 at 07:42 AM. |

| Start offering softened puppy food at 4 weeks at least 4 times a day. They should not be given cow's milk. Goats milk can be given though. When the puppies start to try to nurse offer the puppy food then let momma so her job. Cozy was very good at weaning her pups herself. I hope in the future you do a little research on proper puppy care before you breed.
