mother and from then on the order becomes fixed.
Whether some nipples give more (or better) milk is not known, nor is it known how the order is decided. We only know that when kittens take their nursing positions, the lineup isn’t random. If you see four kittens—let’s call them A, B, C and D—lined up while nursing, you will find them in that order the next day, no B-D-C-A, or C-B-A-D. Odd, but interesting.
