If the kitten does not open its mouth to suck milk and needs artificial help, you can hold the kitten and gently press the corners of the mouth on both sides to open the mouth. Use the other hand to gently press the nipple to promote milk secretion. Put the nipple containing milk into the kitten's mouth, and the kitten will slowly start sucking.
What if the kitten is placed next to the mother cat Next to the nipple, but it still does not open its mouth, the breeder can put the little finger into the kitten's mouth to let it learn to suck. Note that the little finger needs to be cleaned and disinfected in advance to avoid bacterial residue, otherwise the kitten will easily bring the bacteria into the body and cause diarrhea and vomiting.
If the kitten cannot learn to suck milk, you can choose artificial feeding. Feeding can be done with a spoon, syringe or bottle. Be careful not to feed too fast to avoid choking. When feeding, you need to eat small meals frequently, and feed once every 2 to 3 hours. You can stop feeding when you find that the kitten's abdomen is slightly bulging.
