Yes, first time moms and young moms may be too inexperienced. HOWEVER, her natural instincts should kick in. Be patient with her. Encourage her to lie down; put kittens up to her teats. Pet MOMMA, not the kittens. Encourage her to lick their bottoms (so they pee and poop), or you may need to gently rub downward from belly to pelvis on each kitten to help them go. Hold food and water near momma so she can stay lying down with kitties. Do NOT separate mom from her kittens unless a kit is in danger, too cold, or not eating; if these happen, intervene early. But still try to help momma take care of her own kittens.
