    Hello!

    With the daily feeding schedule, are the 6-8 feeds (for 1 week old kittens) evenly spread out around 3-4 hourly? Or do you recommend to do closer feeds during the day and longer spaced feeds of a night?

    Thanks!

    Hi Jess,

    Thank you so much for your question.  If I worry about a kitten not gaining weight I will always add a feeding during the day and let them go longer at night.  Starting out, my kittens  average at least an hour longer during the night.

    I hope that is helpful!
