Follow the directions on the box of kitten food. They usually have several small meals a day. DO NOT give it milk!

Ur kitten wont eat alot of food straight off just try a 1/4 of a spoon full every hour or 2 first then you can increase it as an when necessary u need to make sure water is always fresh and on hand.
oh and to save accidents in the house straight after you have fed your kitten put it on the litter tray as its mom would usually clean all this up while they were feeding . good luck they are so funny at this age!!

Kitten (and that usually means "junor" - labeled) food.
I think (you can get more info from your vet) at this time you can train your kitten one of two ways - either provide it with "constant access" to food, or feed it a certain number of times a day with a set amount of food. Most cats don't overeat if they have more food than they need available to them (some do, though).
I tend to split the daily amount that is written on the food packaging in two, and give one half in the morning and the other in the evening (I am at work all day, so I tend to find it hard to give three meals a day, unfortunately).
I think I'd also go for don't give the kitten lots of milk. I have read that a spoonful of cream gives all the nutrients cats get from a bowl of milk, and the cream is less likely to disturb the cat's tummy. When you are better used to your cat, you will know when it's OK to give a bit of milk, (more like a couple of spoons to soften the hard food than a bowl).
Good luck!

Feed him kitten food three times a day; canned kitten food is best, mashed up with a little water. Dont feed dried food; kittens choke to death on it. Dont feed cows milk- the best fluid is water.

Kitten food. Read the directions or ask your vet. Plenty of water available at all times!
We never fed our cat on a schedule. WE ALWAYS have our self-feeder filled up for our cat. She can eat & drink to her hearts content!

Without a doubt...kitten food & leave plenty of dry kitten food available in a bowl easily reachable by your kitten!!

Don't mean to sound rude but to many questions on cats, if you are that worried about your cat ask your local vet they are more qualified.
