When to ween a baby mouse off kitten formula?
Once the baby mouse has opened its eyes, you can begin to introduce solid foods such as baby cereal (rice or oatmeal). Mix the dry cereal with whichever milk formula you have been using (goat milk, KMR, Esbilac). Add enough formula to the dry cereal so that it is a consistency that can still be fed through a syringe. You can mix a little bit of baby food in with the dry cereal as well, such as applesauce, to make the taste more appealing to your baby mouse. Gently squirt the cereal mixture out of the tip of the syringe just enough so that the cereal is peeking out of the hole. Hold the tip of the syringe with the glob of cereal in front of your baby mouse's mouth until he licks it off. You can also squirt a small glob onto the palm of your hand and allow your baby mouse to lick it up that way. Continue giving your baby mouse both cereal and formula at feeding time until he is 3-4 weeks, at which time he can be given regular solid mouse food and a water bottle.
What should be the first cereal introduced to an infant?
Cereal may not be the best thing for an infant as it presents a choking hazard if they have no teeth or have not fully learned how to chew. You could soak it in milk to soften it if you would like. Once they have teeth and are able to chew food themselves, its really a matter of preference. You would like the cereal to be nutritious and preferably low in sugar, but after that the child's own taste preference is crucial. Start with baby rice cereal , make it as a thin gruel to start with , then thicken as you see how baby tolerates this. Use strained apricots for sweetner. NO HONEY for babies inder one year . If baby is hungry and not sleeping all night, try some really thinned down mashed potatoes.

What food do we start if a baby completes 3 months?
My child was not getting enough to eat, so at 6 weeks I started her on baby cereal. I would put about a tablespoon in her formula and feed it to her. She seemed to not have any problems and would sleep through the night. When she was 3 months old I gave her squash. It is recommended to start a baby off on lighter colors of food. Also "thin" cereal (oatmeal, rice cereals) is good for them.
