4 month old still trying to nurse

Well, he's nursing on his brother's fur and his spayed mother's tummy fur
where her nipls are.
Should I worry, separate them or will he grow out of it? Will this behavior
cause psychological illness in the poor host cat? The kitty/leech is not
stopped or dissuaded by either the host brother or mother. Everyone
involved seems to be okay with it except for us human onlookers. I have
heard of kittens trying to nurse human earlobes, but not each other. advice
appreciated.

This isn't new to me. I'm a kitten foster-father. I've seen almost
everything.
Don't worry, in nature kittens stay with their mothers until 4-5
months of age.
There is no psychological problem, except to us humans. Cats are
mammals just like us. We nurse just like kittens, and not just for
milk. Ever seen a child with a security blanket? Same thing as the
kitten is going through.
Stop worrying. They're bonding.
