Help. New mother not producing milk?

  The mommy is not giving milk, I need to know what to do

How old are the kittens? If they are new born they won't survive without any food until Friday, you need to get some fluids into them quickly. 

One of our advisers @StefanZ  has suggested

"Have also dextrose (glucose sugar), very useful in many of situations where they need extra energy or seems to be fading. Set a little wetted dextrose powder on their gum. Other sugar sources like honey and white caro syrup do also works, but dextrose is best."

I  hope momma will get the milk going when I write this. Its very seldom they dont have no milk at all.

Are you sure momma has no milk?  It may be the kitten(s) dont have the strengh to suckle...  If so, you must use a needleless syringe, or a dropper or even a straw, one drop at time in the corner of the mouth....   This is often saving the very weak or bad suckles...

IF momma cant,  can you get goats milk?  Almost any goats milk will do.  Or kitten mothermilk replacement...

If you cant, you can try make a glop with  full fat  yoghurt, add one egg yolk, and some glucose sugar - for example from honey.  Also a little salt...

This should work as an emergency kitten glop, made from ingredients most peple do have at home.

Otherwise, you can make honey water and add a little salt,  and let them lick of your fingers or give with a dropper... or something...

Tummy down, head up, in the corner of the mouth, one drop at a time...  If they suckle good - it may go fairly quickly, otherwise it will take time and patience, till you and the kitten gets hang of it.

Please report!

Good luck!

Do they nurse mom? When did she give birth? Her milk should come in soon if they are nursing.

If not, you need to ask parents or friends for help to purchase kitten formula at Walmart or a pet store to feed them. They must eat every 2 hours to survive.
