I got out my cotton gardening gloves and washed them and dried them and used one on the hand that I used to hold the bottle. It seemed to calm them because they could knead the glove while they nursed.
They quickly began lapping their formula from a small dish and now I miss holding them and watching their tiny faces while they nurse. They have more than tripled their weight [they are about 9 weeks old now].
They love their kibble but because they are still so small, the biggest one is just about 24 ounces, I still give them formula twice a day. I had never raised infant kittens but this was a wonderful experience. And they seem to like me LOL.
