I think you are thinking of the phrase  the other way around , which does essentially mean the opposite, but in a specific way. The specific nature of the other way around is that it means that doing what you say in the opposite direction is correct, not necessarily the exact opposite.
You can offer your kitten either dry food, canned food, or both. Be sure to choose food which is designed for kittens. They require a diet which is especially rich in protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Cat food that is for adults is not sufficient.
Kittens less than one week old need to be fed six times a day. That's every four hours, day and night. After they reach two weeks, the routine can be reduced to four meals a day, or every six hours. Use either a syringe or a kitten feeding bottle. Ask your veterinarian to show you how to feed your kittens.
