If your cat is okay with it, and you have had your cat a long time, she is not a recent stray or feral, holding them just briefly right at first is fine. If your cat is a rescue, or a feral I would not recommend you holding them until they are at least 2 weeks old, and then be very careful when you do. Momcats are very protective.

Then I would handle them a bit and then handle them a little more each day. Get them used to you right away. I handle mine from birth too.
