So most kittens, they actually should somewhat free feed. Get kitten food and in addition to wet food get some high quality kitten dry food to leave out.
They won't get fat, but they need lots of protein and for the first year they recommend free feeding.

If it's under 6 months and readily eating dry food free feeding is best until 6 months or after. The youngest I've had is 4 months and he was taking dry food just fine, but I was also giving 3.5oz cans of wet food in the mornings and evenings. I think the general idea for kittens is give them as much as they want within reason, they won't over feed themselves.
Edit: Do grain free food if you can. Cats are obligate carnivores, grains do them no good and may be tied to poor health later in life.

When I asked my vet this question, she told me to feed the cats as much as they will eat, and that they just won't overeat. Seems weird, but it actually seemed to work fine for my cats.
