If it is cow's milk, it could make the kitten sick. Some cats are lactose intolerant and such a young kitten getting diarrhoea can quickly leave it severely dehydrated with can become fatal in a matter of days.

Specially formulated kitten milk that are found in most stores are perfectly safe for kittens and adults to drink as a treat.

Additionally, consult a veterinarian for guidance on proper feeding schedules and amounts.

Can you feed a 3 week old kitten buttermilk if the mom is not feeding it?

All cow's milk is not good for animals including buttermilk. Will cause diarrhea and is of no health benefit. You need to find a formula such as esbilac to replace the Mother's milk. Get a bottle too, can find them in the pet stores and feed the kitten about every 3 hours. In about another week, you can start to add softened kitten dry food, but soak it first until soft. Pour some of the esbilac on top of the kitten food. Offer that to your kitten and she or he will start to chow down on that. You can switch to dry kitten food completely at about 5 weeks of age.
