Put them in a room with mom and close them in. Sit with her and put the babies to her nipples. They no longer smell like her kittens so she is ignoring them. As soon as they lay with her and she licks them they will smell like her kittens again. Please do not bathe them again. They are crying because they are hungry. If she won't feed them after you try closing her up with them, you'll have to get kitten milk formula and feed them yourself or they will die. Kittens go downhill fast when not fed. If you need help with feeding we can give you details on how to feed safely. Please try to get them nursing from mama first, and let us know how it's going! Good luck!
