It is a 'nursing' reaction. They could be hungry, or they are doing it as a way to comfort themselves.

Can you take kittens in for a night?

Yes, but the mother should be with them. If no mother, you will need to bottle feed. Use only kitten formula-- not people milk. Kittens are fed every couple hours. They may not suck well from a bottle. You can SLOWLY drop milk into their mouth from a dropper or syringe. Make sure they do not choke.


Why do kittens engage in suckling behavior and what are the reasons behind their instinct to suckle?

Kittens engage in suckling behavior as a way to seek comfort and security, similar to how human babies suck their thumbs. This instinct is rooted in their early development, as suckling from their mother provides nourishment and a sense of safety. Even after being weaned, kittens may continue to suckle on objects or even on themselves as a way to self-soothe and feel secure.
