Why is my new mom cat so hungry and confused after giving birth?

Question

Hello, Muse gave birth to 2 healthy kittens this morning, since then, she has been behaving like she is hungry although I had fed her and gave her everything she needs. She keeps on doing as such over and over again, also, she is acting crazy like she can’t choose between her babies and anything else. I wanted to know why is she acting as such,is there anything wrong with her or the babies or is it because of her first time giving birth?

It could just be that she isn't quite sure what to do. Just make sure she has plenty of food and water and a litter box available, as well as a comfortable place to put the kittens. If she isn't eating, seems lethargic, or has a rectal temperature over 103 or under 100, then she should be evaluated by a veterinarian to see what could be going on.
