I've tried but it won't latch on.

She doesn't seem to have any milk.
It will come in. Moms have colustrum first. The act of suckling brings it in. Just get the kitten on a nipple. It will eventually latch. Don't panic yet. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Haha ok it's only been 15 min or so ... how long is too long...just for reference...
Sometimes moms do not let kittens nurse until they are done delivering. But most kittens will latch between deliveries if they can. Give it time. Right now it's not an emergency.

Marg is feasting on some natural greek yogurt at the moment. Happy and calm as can be.

Weights are good for 2 days old! Keep weighing daily, and keep an eye on the runt. Each kitten should gain 6-10 grams daily. More is even better.
They are precious looking! [emoji]128571[/emoji]

Yes we have been blessed with good sizes!
Just sitting with Margarita now and it seems there is vomit? around one of her nipples. Like a dry yellowish liquid. Or would that just be dried milk? It seems like quite a lot. Is this something of concern?

It sounds like dried milk. It's possible a kitten regurgitated it. Just wipe it off with a warm, damp cloth. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
