My kittens are now 11 days old. The white kitten's eyes have been partially open for about 3-4 days now and haven't really opened much more.
Is it supposed to take this long? Is there something I can do to help the kitten out?

You can gently wash the eyes with a warm washcloth or cotton ball. Kittens can take up to 2 weeks to open eyes.
