If very young, they should drink specially formulated kitten milk for pre-weaned kittens. A vet will be able to supply some. Weaned kittens should only drink water, with kitten or cat milk as a treat. Never feed kittens or cats cow's milk as this often causes diarrhoea.

What about care of mother and kittens after kittens are born?
just leave the mother and the kittens leave fresh water and food out for her. don't touch the kittens until the kittens can walk at least or if the mother cat trusts you and doesn't get mad and start hissing, you can probably play with the kittens at an earlier time. When the kittens get older only leave water and they will start to drink it. Never give milk to kittens when they are still small because they sometimes have an allergic reaction that could possibly kill them. hope this helps.
