    Get the kitten to the vet. Maybe they can show you how to properly feed him. I've had that happen to a kitten and the kitten ended up with a cleft palate that I didn't check for at the time - the poor baby ended up dying but I learned a good lesson!

    If the mother won't accept the kitten to the teat,you may have to get veterinary Intervention.

    Sometimes they have to put them on a drip to help the kitten strengthen up,but that's In severe cases.

    You can try the syringe method.{A 40ml syringe with the needle taken off the end]

    Only try feeding the kitten lactose free milk,as they are sensitive to the sugars In milk.

    Vet vet vet... Kittens under 4 weeks are super super sensitive; missing a meal or two can be fatal! talk to your vet asap.
