Kittens usually start transitioning to solid food around 3-4 weeks old and can eat dry food by 8 weeks. Mother's milk or kitten formula is their main food for the first 4 weeks. After that, wet food is softened and given as a puree, then gradually moved to dry kibble as weeks go on. Your vet can recommend the right kitten food and transition timeline.
