nursing kitten

Chapel Hill, NC(Zone 8a)

I have 2 adult male cats and a 7-8 month old male kitten. They get along wonderfuly, w/ the older 2 acting very much like surrogate mothers to the kitten, despite being male. The problem is, that the kitten still tries to suckle and nurse on the older 2, even tho they are male. I figured it was just a phase he was going through as a youngster and would stop in time (the second oldest did the same for a short while when he was a baby kitten), but he's still doing it. What can I do to make him stop? or does it even matter, if it's not disturbing the other 2 when he does that? Any advice/input on this would be appreciated... and that's kitten (Ferdinand) in the pic......Katherine
