He has to be weaned from his mother first, which usually takes place around 4-5 weeks. At 2 weeks old they still need their mother's milk, but once you do start to give them puppy food (and I recommend Iams) you need to start with only a 1/4 cup of food and it has to be softened with warm water. You would feed him then 3 times a day.

you need to start feeding that pup on a puppy milk and do it with a syringe go and have a word with the vet if that pup is away from its mum its far to young or i take it you have the ***** with you as well as the pup then leave it for at least another 2 weeks to give it solids then mix up a little bit of weetabix and gently put a bit on the roof of the pups mouth with your finger and the pup will eat it then very gradually give it a bit of puppy food and do it the same way just dont over feed the pup but give the pup a little and often good luck

I'm a bit shocked you have the pup at 2 weeks old, usually you don't get puppies till their at least 6 weeks at the youngest.
Solid food not till at least 5 weeks, and then something fairly soft like scrabbled eggs.

We start the weaning process @ 28 days (4 weeks) by removing the litter from their mother during the day and putting them back at night. During the day we feed them kibble blended in a blender with warm water 3x/day. @ 35 days (5 weeks) we separate the litter permanently from the mother and put them on a 4x/day feeding schedule. Not that I said separate the *litter*, not individual puppy's. It is important that a litter remain together for a minimum of 49 days (7 weeks), but should not remain together longer than 70 days (10 weeks).
Have to thank some who answered, best laugh I have had in weeks.

OHHHHHHHHHH How CUTE I remember those days. Usually the mother will nurse for about 6-8wks old when she starts to not feed them anymore and sometimes you have to pull the mommy away for that some moms will feed and feed and feed and thats not healthy for the mom for that she will lose all her calcium and could end up very sick... you give them evaporated milk warm it up for them BUT not too hot just warm for about 1-2wks then start them on their puppy food little small pebbles and believe me they will be ready for that. ABOUT 7wks start them on the evaporated milk keep them on that for 1-2wks so that they get their nutrition then after that period start them on their puppy food don't worry and think they will not be able to chew the food for that they will believe me GOOD LUCK

I do hope that your pup is still with it's mum. It needs to be at least 6 weeks old before it gets taken from her, and 8 weeks is even better.

The pup should be with its mother until at least 6 wks old otherwise they can not start solid food until 12 wks old!
