Okay...so my kitty had 4 white kittens and 1 black/gray tabby....how do I tell all the white ones apart for documenting their weights? The following are their weights...

White Baby #1 3.8 oz

Black tabby Baby #2. 3.8 oz

White Baby #3. 3.6 oz

White Baby #4. 3.8 oz

White Baby #5. 4.0 oz

I notice a lot of people on here weigh in grams. Are there any charts that have weights in ounces?

Thank you

They seem good and even weights.  So from now, look in first hand at changes or lack thereof.

As a rule of thumb, they should add 0,3+  Oz a day. (ie 10+ grammes).

If they dont, watch out, if they dont two days running - sound alarm and work on it.

Very small weighting kittens will lay on less, but yours arent the smallest out there.

Good luck!

Ah, and how to notice them from each other.

If you have some non poisonous nail color, it is the easiest.  One nuance is enough, left forward paw,  right forward paw, etc...  Or you use different colors.

Its also possible to color a little spot on their body. Must be poison-free.  Besides, mom will prob try and wash it off.

Some set a paper necklage on them.  Different color each day.

There are surely other variants too with this idea.

They will prob soon get colors, become points is quite probable.

Good luck!
