kathy, doesn't have to be teddies... often tea towels work and they suck on those... a belt from my fluffy dressing gown was another "cure" for comfrot sucking orphans. It doesn't really matter what it is... as long as they dont suck on each other. If you "disturb" the kitten who is comfort sucking on th eother kitten, by slipping your pinky into his mouth... then if he'll accept that just gradually introduce him to a tea-towel, or teddy, or a t-shirt, or a small cushion or anything he will accept to comfort suck and tread on, except the other kittens, lol.
