Thank you I’ll monitor him closelyOh, that’s great! It’s good to actually see them nursing. Hoping he gains well and quickly!

Hi! If you could and are willing, you may want to weigh every 12 hours versus 24 at first if you think that would be acceptable for your situation. The baby isn't super small, but is little. I've had it quite a few times where smaller babies were latched on but not actually nursing well.Yes...he’s nursing
Just weighed him again and in 6 hours he is up to 91 grams! So up 5 grams already. Is that good???Hi!

I've had others where they were latched on and nursing perfectly of course, including a little 71g baby, so all is probably AOK but did want to mention it.
In 6 hours? That's fabulous! Don't weigh toooooo often or the little fluctuations will drive you crazy (or at least they do me), but 91g is a good solid weight and 5 grams in 6 hours is a good gain! Some babies don't gain any weight the first 24 hours, some even lose a gram or two.Just weighed him again and in 6 hours he is up to 91 grams! So up 5 grams already. Is that good???
He really is ! Weighed him tonight and he is 108 grams !He’s a little piggy at the milk bar! Yay - excellent gains!
That's awesome!! Gain little guy, gain!!He really is ! Weighed him tonight and he is 108 grams !
Yes I was actually going to post last night , as I checked and compared online , and it does appear it’s a she !What a sweet little baby! Glad to see the baby is nursing and gaining well!
Just FYI, given this baby's color (dilute tortoiseshell, also known as blue-cream), it is most likely a FEMALE kitten
