I just got a new Kitten and she doesn't seem to eat alot, and she drinks milk in the morning and water later on in the day. She keeps meowing and I don't why. Does she just want attention? Is she lonely? We have one other cat but its full grown. Can someone tell me what I should do , PLEASE?

most cats are lactose intollerant, try not giving her the milk. there are some cats that talk more than others. give her plenty of love and attention

Hold her a lot and give her a love and hugs and kisses. She is probably just lonely and not used to being away from her litter mates. After a week or two, if you don't see an improvement, take her to the vet. You should take her anyway since you are supposed to get new kittens a checkup and shots, but you can wait a week or two.
Also, does your older cat torment her? she may be afraid of the other cat.

young kittens tend to eat more since they are still growing and they also burn alot of energy. she should grow out of it by the time she will reach 4 montes old, mean time make sure she has enough food but also make sure to masure it so she won't get fat.
my guess will be she misses her brother and sisters as well as her mother.
you can help her in many ways:
take a box or anything similar to it, put there a towel on the top fold put an heating bottle the warm of the water will remind her the warm of her mother and her siblings.
play with her alot preferably in front of your older cat so they could get used to each other.
hold her close to your heart and pet her your heart beat and the pets will calm her.

Relax, ~hi~. The kitten is just getting used to you. My cat did the SAME thing. They cry when they want you to love them\give them attention. Try playing with her and just give her TONS of attention. when kittens first meet a person, they want to claim that person. She wants to make sure you are hers and you won't leave her. Good Luck, ~hi~!

Attention seeking... Love it more. Find out what the cat is saying to you... Does the cat want outside (I do not recommend that at all). Is the cat looking for you or the other cat? It is just talking.

You shouldn't feed the kitten milk. It can make them sick. The kitten probably has separation anxiety. hold it and try to comfort it. You gotta be it's mother.

I totally agree with TheDude.
You shouldn't be feeding it milk.
And it needs a lot of love, attention and reasurance.
