For newborn kittens under 7 days old, feed every 2-3 hours, 3-6 ml each time, adjusted to the kitten’s size. By your description, eating only 1 ml every 4 hours is a fairly low intake, so watch its appetite and gradually raise feeding frequency and amount.
Also, a kitten abandoned by its mother may have an underlying health problem. If it keeps eating very little or shows other abnormal signs, take it to a vet promptly.
