I've raised a lot of kittens, probably about 30 litters, and i always fed the mother cat canned food so when the kittens got old enough to be weaned I would hold them and rub a little of the gravyish stuff around their mouths so they would lick it off. Some of them took to it right off and a few others were a little slower so just be patient and after a while (maybe about 2-3 weeks after they begin eatting canned food) put out a little plate of dry food and cut back on the canned food. It might take them a while but if they get hungry enough they will eat it. As far as how much goes, I always put out a can for the mother cat and one for the kittens (usually she had a litter of about 4). What the kittens didn't finish, the mother cat would, which is why I found it better to start that a little before the mother cat weaned them herself. That way if she did take the food from the kittens they would still get food from her. But if the kittens are already weaned I would suggest separating the mother cat and kittens at feeding time once they get used to the canned food to make sure they get their share. Just make sure you watch the mother's behavior closely because if she thinks you are trying to separate her from the kittens she may attempt to move them.
You should feed a kitten 2 times a day. Morning and night, just like a human, wake up hungry eat and then eat and go to bed full.
I feed my kittens wet food. One eats about 1 for 2 weeks. All together they eat about 2 cans a week.
There is no correct answer for this, but generally speaking, a kitten should eat as much as it likes. How much a kitten eats can depend on several factors: The kitten's age, size, activity level, appetite and the quality of food being fed. A cat's food is also a huge factor in how much it eats: A cat will eat far more if fed a lower quality food to get the nutrition it needs, and will eat much less if fed a premium quality food that has a high meat content and no grains. Kittens on growth spurts also tend to eat much more also.
Kittens can eat as little as 100g or 200g of canned/pouched food and as much as 400g or 500g in a day. Kittens often need much more food than an adult cat as they are still growing and developing. It is advised to feed as much as it wants until it reaches a year old. Be sure to feed small but frequent meals, especially for younger kittens as they have small stomachs.
When first born a kitten should feed on its mothers milk for the first four weeks then your kitten will usually have three to four meals a day and plenty of fresh water.You should buy food that is made especially for kittens then you can follow that particular foods label on how to feed your kitten.

You shouldn't feed a newborn kittens, unless its teeth are coming through, in which case, it will discover food itself. Until then it will drink its mother's milk.

How much do you feed a Kitten When it's old enough?
As for how much you should feed the kitten four to six times a day for young kittens, or three to four for older kittens, with small-sized meals usually two to three teaspoons of wet food (make sure you chop up the meat into little pieces). Kittens need a lot of food for them to develop and grow in a healthy manner, so give the kitten as much food as the kitten needs/eats.
How many scoops of food should you give your kitten?
Kittens are constantly growing and developing, so they need all the nutrients they can get. Typically, a kitten will need twice as much protein as an adult cat, so it is usually best to feed the kitten as much as it needs until it is around a year old. It really doesn't matter if you feed them just dry food or soft, as long as the food has plenty of meat in it and no cereals, grains or corn in. For young kittens, soft food will be easier for them to eat.

What do you do if your kitten asks for food when she's not supposed to have it?
If the kitten is otherwise healthy, it may be a good idea to just give your kitten more food - either by adding an extra meal to the daily feeding schedule or to slightly increase the amount of food being fed per day. Changing the food to a higher quality one with a high amount of meat is also another option, as the kitten will be able to get all the needed nutrients without eating as much as it would on a lower quality food. Kittens need a lot of animal proteins and fats in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Generally speaking, kittens need much more protein and other nutrients compared to an adult cat, so don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat. If your kitten is asking for more food, chances are he or she actually is hungry, and not asking to eat out of boredom or greed. If your kitten is begging for human food, by all means deny it. Kittens are highly curious and seeing their human caregivers eating food will naturally perk the kitten's interest.
