You should feed your kitten multiple times a day, with the frequency depending on their age:

• From birth to about 4 months old: Feed your kitten about 3 to 4 times per day. Very young kittens (under 8 weeks) may need 4 to 5 small meals daily, especially if feeding wet food, to accommodate their tiny stomachs and rapid growth. For newborns without their mother, feeding about 8 times a day with kitten milk replacer is recommended

• From 4 to 6 months old: Feeding can be reduced to about 2 to 3 meals per day. Kittens at this stage still grow quickly but can handle fewer meals than younger kittens

• From 6 months to 1 year: Feeding twice daily is generally sufficient as their growth rate slows down

• After 1 year: Most cats are fed once or twice daily, but this is beyond kittenhood

Additional notes:

• If feeding wet food only, kittens may need to eat 3 to 4 times daily; if mixing wet and dry food, 2 meals with dry food available for nibbling may suffice

• Consistent feeding times with regular intervals help establish a routine

• Kittens have small stomachs and require small, frequent meals to avoid overloading their digestive system

In summary, feeding 3 to 4 times daily is ideal for kittens younger than 4 months, then reduce to 2 to 3 times daily until 6 months, and twice daily until they reach one year old
