Use a flea brush on the mother and kittens, get all the nits out that you can and when a flea gets stuck in the prongs of the comb squish it. This is the safest way to do it.<a href="http://www.namingmybaby.com/popular-baby-name.htm"> Katie T</a> Do not use any chemicals on the kittens or mother, especially the chemicals like advantage, because these go to her blood stream and then through the milk directly to the kittens.

These are safe for nursing mothers. Do NOT put any on the kittens themselves they are far too young. You can use the detergent like people said to help control what is already there.....But washing kittens all the time isn't a good answer either. Especially young kittens who become easily hypothermic. Use the advantage...or somthing comparable. I've done this with good results. Please go spay her right now. This also doesn't hurt a nursing mother or babies. Spay!SPAY!<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/Resume/Taf.htm"> Jaded Ruby</a> Treat Mama with a topical treatment like advantage.

If this is a continual problem I would get the mother fixed so she can't continue to have kittens, if this isn't what you want then keep her away from male cats until you can remove the fleas. The part that's worse than your cats all having fleas is that they've brought them into your home- good luck!<a href="http://www.greatjewelrydesign.com/silver-plate-324"> Suburban Mom</a> This link gives helpful advice on how to get rid of them in young cats.

Other than that - just get a flea comb and comb them lots have a cup of boiling water run the comb through there fur then dip it straight in the water really quickly after you've run it through the fur - have some tissue to wipe the comb and repeat . The water needs to be very hot ! you may need to boil some more during the process - just keep combing till you dont get any more out - it elevates there imeadiate suffering !<a href="http://www.greattoolsusa.com/office-carts-4409"> Sara</a> Garlic feed the mom lots and lots of garlic - and when the kittens are eating put some in there food fleas hate it .

Either keep her in the house if you don't have male cats...OR GET HER FIXED. I suggest the second option. Tons of cats get put down everyday because there isn't enough homes. Please don't contribute to the cat population.
