Kittens, especially before their eyes open, must rely on scent. Their moms have an odor they know; it's where they get food. You smell different from their mom. Frightened, they cry for her to know where she is. You should not frequently pick up kittens until after their eyes open, and always return them to mom if they cry.

Well, it all depends on how new this newborn kitten is. If you're talking about just being born a few seconds ago, the answer is NO.

If the kitten is a few hours or a couple of days old, go ahead and pick it up, that is if you can. A mother cat is very defensive of her kittens. you may get scratched or bitten in the process.
