Yes it's just brownish but she did have a tiny blob that looked kinda pinkish

This is end of pregnancy discharge. She should now be 1-3 days away from labor and delivery.

Are you able to weigh the babies in grams on a kitchen scale? This is the best way to know that all are gaining about 6 grams a day each, or if there is a runt who needs supplementing. With 6 there may be a runt or two who need extra.

Absolutely not! The kitten needs its mom and litter mates. Bottle feeding is an around-the-clock exhausting job that should be done when there is no mom or the kitten can’t nurse mom. The kitten needs to stay right where it is. Mom’s milk and nurturing is always best, and it needs its siblings to interact with for now. Under no circumstances should the kitten be separated before 10-12 weeks.

You must put the kitten's needs first! It would be cruel to take any of them away from their mom and littermates until they are at least 10 weeks old. You are setting them up for success for the rest of their lives.
