New foster kitty

Hi, My name is Jennifer and I have just became a foster mommy to a 4-5 wk old kitten (just a guess because all the teeth are in and how big he is). A friend brought him to me yesterday and asked if I would care for him. Since I normally deal with taming and adopting out semi feral ADULT cats, I'm not sure if I'm providing proper care. So far, his schedule consists of 10-15ml of formula every 2-3 hours. Also afterwards he flops with his bottom pointing upwards at me so I took that as a sign he still wanted stimulated to urinate/deficate. So, a few quick questions include: is my feeding schedule adequate? Is it normal for a kitten that age to still need stimulated to urinate/deficate? Also, he has not had a bowel movement yet, and I'm concerned. I preform an upward wiping motion to his bottom, but still no bm. His tummy is still soft and he doesn't seem to be in any discomfort, so is it normal for them to go a day w/o a b.m.? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (below are some pictures of him)
