Newborn kittens generally open their eyes in 10 to 14 days. As far as raising new born kittens the mother generally does all the work. They are very particular about caring for their babies and you shouldn't touch them really at all for about five days at least. This may sound strange but the mother cats take care of their kittens on their own and need little help from humans. They could possibly choose not to care for the kittens if they are bothered to much. Kittens are very delicate and the germs from human hands could cause their eyes to mat up and not ever open. As I said before they are delicate and for the most part your mother cat will know what to do and your kittens should be just fine. Hope this helps.
