Canned is better to start a kitten on; it isn't as hard for them to eat.
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 weaning and young kittens. It is easy for them to eat and digest. It is advisable not to try dry food, even softened with water, as kittens may still not be able to eat it. Dry food is incredibly hard and brittle.
Many brands of dry food and low quality wet foods are packed with corns and grains. This is cheap carbohydrate filler that the food manufacturers use as its a cheaper source of protein than meat is. Unfortunately, cats cannot digest such complex carbohydrate and could cause a kitten to have an upset stomach, and a kitten with diarrhea can get very dehydrated very quickly and that can easily become fatal.
Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs from meat. Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Kittens need twice as much Protein as an adult cat does, so don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat. Also, kittens have small stomachs, so the best method of feeding is "little and often", as often as four to six times a day for very young kittens.
