The kits are tiny and adorable. XD I'll see if I can get pics
Make sure that all are latching and nursing. Put mom's food, water, and litter near the nest so she does not need to go far.

Update: kittens 1 2 and 4 are eating fine.
3 is not. (The runt)
He's crying for mama but only wants to snuggle. This afternoon when my husband gets home we are going to try to get KMR and an eyedropper.
Mama isn't producing milk like she should. Food, water, and litter box are extremely close. When she leaves the box I have to put her back in. I can't do anything for that baby right now and I'm bawling because he's so tiny and perfect and exactly what I prayed she would have. (I have always wanted a blue since I was a small child and he's got these markings like my first rescue)
I don't think he will make it.
He latched on last night, but if her milk isn't coming like it should, I would suspect he wore himself out trying.

What do I do? She pretends he isn't there?
You need to make kitten glop right now, and get some into him with a dropper or a syringe. Also, keep him warm!
Beat an egg yolk, add 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, pinch of salt, and pinch of honey or sugar or karo syrup. Mix. Feed 1-2 mLs per hour.

How's it going now?
Be sure the glop is slightly warm when feeding. Make sure the kitten is warm.
Feed kitten on its tummy with head up. Drops go in the side of the mouth one drop at a time. Allow the kitten time to swallow and breathe in between.
You go slow so the formula is not aspirated into the lungs, which causes pneumonia and death.

Yes, update please. You need to get some food into the kitten. If you don't have a dropper yet, then just dip your finger into the glop.
Are you missing any ingredients Sarthur suggested?

I have no mayo or sugar/honey/karo. I have egg water and and iodized salt.
My husband is on his way to pick up KMR and BOUNCE Back (an electrolyte solution I trust highly)
I've been warming water for him and he's swallowing it. (I place It on the side of his mouth and he spits some out and swallows some)
It'll be here in an hour.
The other three are fine. Mama is loving them and they are already bigger than yesterday.
I'm sorry I haven't updated sooner. I've been researching what to use for him

You are giving him egg yolk and water, or just water? I'd probably go ahead and add a watered-down egg yolk with a small sprinkle of salt if you're waiting an hour still.
I agree. The kitten needs nutrition.
Don't apologize...you've kind of got your hands full.
Update when you can.The KMR should be fine, but if you're looking for some other additional formula next time you're shopping, Hoskins is good:
Hoskins formula
- 3 oz. goat’s milk
- 3 oz. water
- 4 oz. plain full-fat yogurt
- 3 egg yolks
Take your time with updates...but hurry up.

A CC of formula (cut with a bit of water since he is a few days premature) down him so far. Little dude is raising 7 kinds of hell at my husband (who is feeding him)
The other three are plump and sassy

Did you buy powdered or pre-mixed formula?
Is your husband feeding the little one with his tummy down and head up, so as not choke on the formula and go into his lungs??
