You can surely put in a fluffy toy.   If mom leaves the baby much, or its cold at your place, some sort of heating pad may be wise.  but if mom is there, as I understand she is - you describe her as very protective - no extra heating is necessary.

Take care of the mom, she will take care of her baby, its the main rule.

do observe, of course.  weighting every day is also wise.

Good luck!

Daisy had her kittens on my bed, she compromised and went in the box after I brought it up onto the bed and then the first 3 nights I kept the box up in the bed right next to my head but on the 4th day she transferred them herself to another box and has kept them there ever since, I guess for now your cat just needs the reassurance of you close by which is sweet
