so give it 1 cc every hour! its should be enough for a normally big newborn kitten. Even if YOU wont sleep much at night. 25 ml or 25 cc is exactly on the spot for a 90g big kitten for a 24 hour day.

There seems to be a problem. It looks like its drinking the milk but It's only finishing like 1cc/hour.. that's way too low.. What to do? Good news is it's keeping pretty warm!!

Keep going! 1cc an hour is ok for now. You'll feed more as the kitten grows. What do you mean about mom being on a shelf? You may need to block that off.@StefanZ

This is very dangerous for mom and kitten. You may need to put them in another room.@talkingpeanut
I literally can't. She's in a box on top of my wardrobe. It's where she used to sleep way before pregnancy. She gave birth there, idk how she got there with pregnant belly. I've put her food up there and If I try to block it off she still tries to jump up there on the wardrobe WITH the kitten in her mouth which already shes too rough with (grabbing by head, not neck... agressively, teeth on eyes) so im not even going to try to relocate her incase she grabs the kid too hard and he falls...
I have two ideas - ask the vet if he has something to gove momma to help her produce milk - some hormone or such.

Okay guy's the kitten is refusing the KMR, It's body-temperature but it's still refusing it, kitten is also warm so its not a matter of digestion
About to take it to the vet, I hope the mom started producing milk or something :/
Bring mom and kitten with you in the carrier. Mom may need a shot to stimulate milk production.It's not a constant flow but everytime she rubs against something or sits down on the bed it gets blood marks.
I'm going to take her to the vet and report back what he says
