KMR is a much better balanced food source for kittens than either cow's milk or a homemade milk recipe. Follow the instructions on the packaging as to how much to feed per day, divide the feedings up into several per day. You can use a warm wet washcloth to gently massage the rectal and urinary openings to stimulate bowel and urinary movements.
