    Default Hi, I'm Sir Didymus' mom.

    He's roughly 6-7 weeks old. We came to this board on day one and we found some great tips for him.

    I'm currently weaning him on Henry blocks and still feeding him FVN formula, which is LOVES.

    Beautiful baby indeed! And how did he get that sophisticated name?

    Very sweet.

    We always ask what you feed, how much and how often, just to make sure. So, if you could answer, we'll get that out of the way.

    Oh, and make sure to follow proper feeding technique:

    He got his name from one of the characters from the movie Labyrinth.

    Feeding frequency about every 3-4 hours. I'm currently feeding him FVN formula from a nursing bottle and weaning him on the Henry blocks, which I soak in a bit of warm water to soften. Bananas, which I mash and feed him little bits at a time. Oranges, I break segments and hold it as he sucks on the juice and pulp. Grapes, I do the same thing as I do oranges. I've also tried feeding him some greens - arugula - but he likes the bananas a lot more. I also have a nursing bottle just for water since he does not understand how to use the water bottle that comes with the cage.

    As for the veggies and fruits, don't feed him any of that until he's eating all of his Henry's blocks! If he gets a taste of the good stuff, he won't want his blocks...

    Watch that bottle, since you can't control the flow of the formula. We recommend using a syringe.

    Sir, you are quite a handsome young man!!

    Is FVN formula, Fox Valley? If not, tell us what it is. Never heard of that. You may want to change.

    And please do get the syringe. Most pharmacies will give you a couple, often for free if you tell them that it's for a kitten. Bottles so very often cause aspiration pneumonia, which kills quickly.

    FVN means Fox Valley.
