The mother cat licks the derrier and stomach of the kitten to stimulate
bowel movements.
But I don't know at what age that stops.
Here is one resource:

I'd make sure this kitten is getting enough water and fluids.
I had a neighbor once who got a very young kitten from the Humane Society...less than 8 wks. They neuter them that early now. Was yours neutered? This kitten was bleeding from the rectum and had to be put down. (the surgery damaged it).
It is a very sad story. I remember the cries, and they were really awful.
I hope this resolves for your new kitten.
