When I was breeding cats, we weighed the kittens daily, same time each day, and kept a notebook recording each days readings. It tells you the kittens are gaining and whether or not they're all progressing at the same rate. It is a good indicator that they are thriving. It's especially important with orphan kittens.
Another plus, is they become accustomed to being handled at a very young age.

I will happily defer to PHAbymom on this one. Have never been in a situation where kittens needed weighing
