No, it's not really possible to overfeed a kitten. It would be best if you could measure out what you're feeding them. 15 seconds of nursing really doesn't sound like enough.
Exactly correct.I'm pretty sure green poop means the food is moving too quick through the kittens system. I'm trying to remember back to when I was bottle feeding my foster kittens, I'm almost positive my vet said it was from overfeeding. I'll search around and find a site for you to reference. I'm glad the kittens are doing good, you're doing a great job! When they get a little older the fun will begin. I always loved fostering kittens.

Don't read those stories!
And finally, I am SO tired. Yesterday, I've had a headache all day long. Today, I'm even worse. I don't sleep and I'm constantly stressed.
This is a very difficult task, I had no idea when I got them, I thought a bowl of milk and a safe space would do it, but they really are like babies.
And the constipation problems...if only I didn't have those I wouldn't complain. From what I see is very common, especially with formula. I read stories
online "sadly, I lost all 4 of them", "sadly, all my babies died yesterday out of nowhere" and they stress me out so much.
Ugh...thanks for the support everyone, rant time over, it's feeding time!
