vicky came round with ours at 3 weeks and we started them on some very very sloply porrige we introduced new things every 2 days just so we could see if there was any problems with it. we didnt actuly stop them feeding of lacey she did it herself craduly going to them less and less buy 6 weeks she wasnt letting them feed of her at all and cos she did it herself slowy her milk just whent back slowly aswell. she alwlays ahd a place to get away from the pups were they coukldnt reach her s she maid her own mined up. I love the fisrt feed when they wear more than they eat lol
