I would separate them for now. Can you keep the mama cat 100% inside and away from intact males until her spay? She can already get pregnant again.
What happened to the kittens? Sorry to hear it.
If it's not upsetting your older cat I would let the kitten nurse. Some cats get depressed when they lose all their kittens. Having this one to mother will help with that.

I agree. There is no need to worry. It is probably helping mom, and not hurting the four-month-old. As long as mom is not near males, she can be spayed a little later than planned.
