The biggest thing that I see people do is they flip the kittens on their backs and hold them like a baby. We really shouldn't be doing that with kittens. They should be on their tummies, similar to how they would be lying if they were nursing from their mother. Usually we'll use a little kind of replacement nipple, made out of silicone, and a small bottle. You can feed the bottle by gently placing the nipple into their mouth. They should start suckling right away. Keep the bottle inverted so they don't start gulping down a lot of air into their bellies because that can upset their stomachs.
