I have 3 kittens delivered by c section Oct 6 th. they were 1 week to 10 days premature. All are doing great I am happy to say....My question is simple...how do I gauge thier devolpment? Should I conciter the fact they were born a week early or should I think of them as 4 week kittens. I ask this as I am not sure about introducing soft food to thier diet

In general I would just look for them to make steady progress in their development. Even kittens born full term have a range of normal times to hit milestones. You can certainly introduce canned kitten food but they might not be interested until 6 weeks old and this would still be normal.
