Go to a pet store, and get the puppy milk replacement (it comes in powder like baby formula)-- make sure you make it warm for him... He probably won't take to the bottle (you'll want to get a newborn bottle with a newborn nipple from like Fred Meyer's or something), so just be patient, if he's starting to get ill and dehydrated, take him to a vet for them to feed him intravenously, you dont' want him dying.
Start to wean him onto real dog food about 4 weeks. Make sure you mix the food with water until it's mush so he can lap it up... eventually you can add less and less water until at about 6 weeks (maybe 8) it should be eating solid food without water.

I am so sorry for your loss and you have a tough road ahead. You have to feed one end and clean the other.
Call your Vet or the ASPCA surely one of them can give you a formula. Puppies need special milk. They need a lot of nutrition. Be safe and read, read, read.

PMR (Puppy Milk Replacement), you can get it at Petsmart or Petco, it might be smart to get it in the can (liquid form) rather than the powder as you are a bit new to puppy care.

If you cannot get what the other answerers said (which is a first priority) , use this as a LAST RESORT, Whole milk, because it is filled with fat which is good for developing babies, and should be good for puppies, ask your Veterinarian

I think you just give him regular milk. Test it to make sure it's not too hot or cold on your wrist. Give it to him in a bottle. This will be comforting to him.
