Kittens should eat about 8 milliliters of formula per ounce of body weight daily, divided into smaller meals. As they grow, this amount will increase. Generally, a kitten needs 4-6 meals per day. Once they start weaning around 4-5 weeks, introduce a mix of kitten wet food and milk replacer. Monitor their weight to ensure they’re growing properly and consult a vet for a diet specific to your kitten’s needs.
