For feeding kittens, the frequency depends on their age and developmental stage:

• Newborn to about 4 weeks old: Kittens need very frequent feedings because they are bottle-fed or nursing. Typically, every 2-3 hours for newborns, gradually extending to every 4-6 hours by 3-4 weeks of age

• Up to 4 months old: Kittens should be fed about three times per day. Their small stomachs require frequent, small meals to support rapid growth

• From 4 months to about 6 months: Feeding can be reduced to two to three times daily as their growth rate slows and they can handle larger meals

• After 6 months: Many kittens can be fed two times per day, though some may eat up to three times depending on their habits and your schedule

Wet food is often given multiple small meals per day (e.g., 3-5 meals for very young kittens), while dry food can be offered free-choice or in measured meals. Consistent feeding times help establish a routine

. In summary:

• 0-4 weeks: Every 2-6 hours (bottle or nursing)
• 4 weeks to 4 months: About 3 meals/day
• 4 to 6 months: 2-3 meals/day
• 6 months onward: Typically 2 meals/day

Adjust feeding amounts and frequency based on your kitten’s appetite and growth, consulting your vet for personalized advice

. This schedule supports healthy growth without overloading their small stomachs.
