At 3 weeks old, kittens should primarily be fed a high-quality kitten milk replacer. Use a bottle designed for kittens and feed them every 3-4 hours. Ensure the milk is warm but not hot. Gradually introduce wet kitten food by mixing it with milk replacer to create a gruel-like consistency. Avoid cow's milk as it can cause digestive issues. Consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations to meet your kitten’s needs.
