Kittens need their mother's milk when there about 1-7 weeks old. Once weaned you can give them kitten milk (never cow's milk) as a treat, but it would be best to give them water instead.

Can you give a kitten dry cat food at 4 weeks old?
Kittens usually begin the weaning process around 4-6 weeks of age. They begin by taking an interest, or picking at their mother's solid food. At this age they will still be suckling and getting nutrients from their mother, but putting a tiny bit of wet food down every few hours will entice them to eat. You could see if they will lick food off your fingertip or off their own paws. This first stage can take several days. Mushed up wet food, or wet food that is throughly mixed with a little water or kitten milk is the best type of food for them right now. It is easy for them to eat and digest. It is advisable not to try dry food as, even softened with water, kittens may still not be able to eat it. As the kittens get older and bigger, you can slowly decrease the amount of water or kitten milk you use in the food, and leave slightly larger chunks for them to chew. Be sure to feed them from a plate and not a bowl, as it is easier for the kittens to pick up the food.

Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.

Most kittens wean well before 10 weeks of age. Some kittens start to take an interest in their mother's food around 4-6 weeks, although some can take longer. Weaning is a gradual process and often takes several weeks. However, a healthy 10-week old kitten should not be on the mother's milk alone; by this age the kittens need extra sustenance and nutrients. The majority of the time, kittens are fully weaned from mother's milk and can be taken from their mother around 12 weeks.
