Nothing to worry about. The mother will know when to stop.
Two to three months is normal.
Actually: maybe you have noticed that the kitten has almost no, at least no strong teeth in the middle of the mouth. It looks like a perfect, round hole. As soon as these teeth are big enough, the mother will be bothered and she will wean the kitten on herself.
No special food, either. The mother will teach the kitten, and the kitten is going to imitate the mother.
You are welcome.

HA!!! My cat didnt' stop feeding her kits till they were around 3 months! LOL Believe it or not, she's a very good momma. So she'll stop feeding them when she thinks it's time. Just like with people. We stop breast feeding when we think it's time for them to eat other foods.
I wouldn't worry about anything, unless the kittens are like, 5 months and still sucking. Then it might be time for YOU to seperate the mother from the babies.

momcat will stop feeding her kitten when kitten bites her hard enough for her to be motivated into weaning it. you can take kitten away now and it will nt hurt either her or the kitten.
or you can let kitten nurse longer--mom will put an end to it soon.
right now the nursing is a security measure--they are feeling insecure because of the loss of the other ktties, so the baby nurses and the mom allows kittten to nurse.she misses her babies.
then get mom spayed........

My cat is still 'comfort nursing' her kitten even though he was weaned months ago, he's well over 3 months now, going for his op in a week in fact, and she still snugles him in to nurse every evening for a while.

she will stop when she thinks the kitten is ready, very soon,offer the kitten some moist kitten food to see if it will eat, make sure the food is small enough for it to swallow, give it water not milk to drink
