The main ways to feed newborn kittens are to let the kittens suck on their own, or to feed them with a spoon, bottle, or syringe. First of all, if the mother cat is next to the kitten, you can place the kitten directly next to the mother cat’s nipple and let it suck on its own. Secondly, if the mother cat is not with the kittens, then she can choose artificial feeding, which can be fed with a spoon, bottle, or syringe. Do not feed too fast to avoid choking.

Some kittens may not use pet bottles. At this time, it is recommended to use a syringe to feed the kitten.
