What do I feed a baby hedgehog?

I have found a baby hedgehog with no sign of its mother, I have left it in the bushes waiting to see if the mother will come back, but there has been no sign of her.. I can only assume the baby has been abandoned. according to charts I have found online it is around 2-3 weeks old ( a Hoglet ) Some posts say that at this age they are still drinking milk, but some say NOT to feed them milk and that they should eat jelly meat and water instead. They are contradicting eachother, and I dont know what to do! PLEASE HELP ASAP. I dont want the baby to get sick and/or die.

Update:

I am giving the hoglet kitten milk from the store while i try to find some more solutions..

    I would stay with the kitten milk if it is eating. Probably another two or three weeks and it can start being weened to normal diets.
