Baby raccoons feed exclusively on their mother's milk until they are 6-8 weeks of age. The should never be fed cow's milk as they can not digest it and will probably die. They should be given KMR, Kitten Milk Replacer, in a small nursing bottle with a nipple. It is available in better pet shops and some veterinary clinics.
