Worst case scenario, you can go to a pet store and buy kitten formula and a nursing bottle. Follow instructions listed on the formula.

Answer

I had that happen once. The kitten, unfortunately, had a cleft palate and couldn't suck. So, there may be something wrong with the kitten. Be sure you hold the kitten upright if you end up feeding it with a dropper. They are prone to pneumonia.
