Mom helping them eat isnt so bad, she shows them how to do it...  Its just if they get extra good pricey food, which she hasnt when its perhaps some problem...

But she needs surely the nourishment.   4 weeks nursing takes a lot of  milk from her...

Perhaps be sure she gets her food before they get theirs, so she has already eaten some of her food...

Also, I suppose they still can nurse on her?

The same with litter training.  Usually they learn from her and from each other.  Make sure its a non clumping litter, and shallow pans, so its easy to climb in.
