It's hard to stop the suckling. They were taken from their mother too young and even though you hand fed them, they would still be suckling on the mom for another couple of weeks.

Cats nurse their babies for around 12 weeks or more. Try supplementing their diet with milk and a bottle still. It is normal to eat solid food and drink from a bottle.

Try to give them canned / wet food instead of kibble. Kibble is not very good for cats.

My Thing 1 still suckles on my hands when I let her. She was taken from her mom too soon too and some cats are very needy with this behavior.

You can simply pick them off you when they start to suckle ear lobes and put them on the floor. You'll need to do this many times. Always find a distraction when cats do something you don't want them to. DO NOT TALK! Just pick them up and put them on the floor. Then get something and play with them.

I would give them snack bottles a couple of times a day still to supplement their diet. They need the nutrition of milk for another couple of weeks.
