If the mother has worms, her kittens can have worms. Eggs from fleas can be in the mother's fur. When kittens nurse, they can swallow an egg. In the intestines, the egg grows into the worm. The worm then ingests nutrients from the kitten's food intake, so the kitty becomes malnourished.

What about care of mother and kittens after kittens are born?
just leave the mother and the kittens leave fresh water and food out for her. don't touch the kittens until the kittens can walk at least or if the mother cat trusts you and doesn't get mad and start hissing, you can probably play with the kittens at an earlier time. When the kittens get older only leave water and they will start to drink it. Never give milk to kittens when they are still small because they sometimes have an allergic reaction that could possibly kill them. hope this helps.
