It could be a game, it's hungry, or maybe doing it for comfort. Kittens usually suckle on blankets and clothes when they have been taken from their mother too soon (10 weeks is considered the minimum age, as 8 weeks is too young). Some kittens will grow out of this as they grow older.

What do you do when a pre-mature kitten won't suckle?

Worst case scenario, you can go to a pet store and buy kitten formula and a nursing bottle. Follow instructions listed on the formula. Answer I had that happen once. The kitten, unfortunately, had a cleft palate and couldn't suck. So, there may be something wrong with the kitten. Be sure you hold the kitten upright if you end up feeding it with a dropper. They are prone to pneumonia.
