How Do I Take Care of Newborn Kittens?

I found some newborn baby kittens in the backyard and the momma cat hasn’t been back in a long time. I’m taking them in, but don’t know much about cats (I’m a dog person). Since it’s Saturday, all the shelters and vets, etc are closed and I just want to care for these babies. I went to Petco and got some milk formula for them and tried feeding them. They’re together with blankets in a crate. Also, I know about cleaning them around feeding time.

What else should I be doing to take care of them?

Are there any tips on getting them to eat?

Thanks!

How long can a newborn kittens go without eating before the mother starts feeding them?

The mother kitten is only about 6months old and doesn’t seem to know what to do with them and the kittens haven’t started nursing from her and they were probably born at least 8 or so hours ago.
Should we wait a little bit longer to see if she’s gonna feed them or should we start nursing them?
