How do I know when he can start eating solid food? He will be a month on the 21 of March.

And when he does start eating should I just give him wet puppy food?

Has the mother started to wean him?

Now is a good time to start giving him a small plate with baby rice cereal mixed with equal parts of goats milk and water. He should be able to lap it off the plate.

Well to answer both, no he is still feeding from her. He drank milk this morning and this afternoon.

Baby rice milk? As in the baby food section at a Whole Foods/Local Supermarket?

Yes,, exactly.. after a few days of the rice cereal, I then grind up a small amount of puppy kibble in a coffee grinder and add that to the rice cereal mixture. Then over the next week or so, I increase the amount of ground up puppy kibble and decrease the amount of rice cereal\
