Never give them cows milk. It will give them fatal diarreah.they can die. Please give it milk replacement by hartz. From walmart $9.98 for the powdered mix. That way you can control how much you make. Cheaper than pet stores also.

Cow's milk should not be fed to kittens or adult cats. It causes gastrointestinal upset and is not the correct combination of nutrients for kittens. Feed kitten milk replacer. This is available at pet stores or veterinary clinics. Kittens 2 weeks and younger also need to be stimulated to urinate and defecate. This is done by rubbing a warm, wet cotton ball over the hind end. Kittens are weaned at 6-8 weeks of age. Start introducing a canned kitten food gruel at 4 weeks of age and dry food at 6 weeks of age. This is the age at which the vaccine series is begun.
It can be hard hand raising newborn kittens successfully. Success rates increase the older the kittens are when the mother abandons them. Good luck!
