Weaning 5 Week Old Puppies?

Our litter of 5 week old Labradors is on ground puppy food and puppy milk at the moment which they enjoy. Every time we try to soak the food in water as the puppy food comes they reject it, are we too early? They only have 3 weeks to go before they leave for there new owners.

We had Dalmatian puppies~4 litters. The mom would get to the point she would get up to stop the puppies from nursing. We then bought a box of baby cereal to get them use to texture foods at around 3 weeks of age. The cereal was mixed with 2% milk warmed a little. In a few days they were ready for puppy chow. We never had a problem with puppies eating. We always had litters of 10 and they grew so fast they were able to leave as early as 4 weeks.

We always used powdered baby cereal before we went to puppy chow. We used 2% milk to make a soupy mixture. Do you use warm water to soften the puppy food?

I would think that would help also. We had 4 litters of Dalmatians a few years ago.
