My cat gave birth to 3 kittens 3 weeks ago. They are doing well. But one of them is a female and is smaller than the other one. Can I give her some kitten replacement milk (kitten formula) even if she continues to drink her mum's milk?

Edit: She is drinking less than the others it seems.

    Have you observed that she isn't getting enough to eat? Some cats are just smaller than others. What behaviors have you noticed during nursing periods? – Allison C Jan 10 at 16:25

Assuming that mum cat is ok with you handling the kittens, I don't see any issues with giving supplemental replacement kitten milk. Be aware that there are special products you should use.
