Kitten trying to nurse

[Klove1981]

Hi, I have two 13 week old brothers. And one kitten is constantly trying to nurse/suckle either me or his brother. I’m concerned he’s going to make his brother very sore if this continues. The other kitten doesn’t try to do this at all.

Has anyone got any experience on this and how to stop it?I originally assumed he’d grow out of it, but concerned reading that’s not necessarily the case.

He goes into a purring sleep and even when I keep removing him he’s almost like a little zombie pushing to get back to his suckling spot.

It’s really hard to wake him out of that almost desperate trance.

Any advice from people with experience would be appreciated!

Thank you!

@Catzzzmeow and others may have some tips. I have no advice as I have never had sphynx kitten age. have you reached out to their breeder? not sure how long you have had your babies. often times they stay with mum for 16 weeks.

hugs n head smooches, love to see pics of your babies, names? all paws are family.

Ah thank you, I didn’t speak to the breeder about this yet… I’ve had them two and a half weeks.. so perhaps they were a little too young to leave mumma… I thought I really done some research on a good breeder and traveled 5 hours each way to get them. But when I arrived I did wonder whether they were potentially younger than that though as seemed teeny tiny, but all their official docs obvs say their birthdate to be that they’re now 13 weeks! ‍♀️

I would love to post pics but when I tried it wouldn’t upload. I’ll definitely try again….

They are called Cairo and Phoenix.

They are precious although perhaps a little young to have left mom. Usually it’s 15-16 weeks when they go to new home.
