Foolproof way to feed baby kittens?

I've got three new baby kittens with no mother, and I need to feed them. I don't have access to any good pet stores or veterinary clinics, but I do have lactose-free baby formula and a plastic syringe with the needle removed, which I've been using to feed them so far. But is there a foolproof method of holding them or something to get them to drink from it? I can usually get them to drink, but only about half of the amount recommended. More details inside.

Breastfeeding question

I don't feel the "let down" when I'm nursing. The baby is wetting/pooing enough and growing great, so I must be making enough milk. Why don't I feel it? On a related note: I don't feel any kind of lovely feeling when I nurse which makes me wonder if I'm not releasing oxytocin. I went 2 weeks overdue, which makes me think my body may not produce it naturally (pitocin is man-made oxytocin). Of note: I hate having my nipples manipulated during sex (or any time) and I've never, ever wanted make-up sex in my very happy 13 year marriage. Who would I ask about this medically? an endocrinologist?
