Move the kittens and mom into a room with a door that closes. Bring everything mom needs into that room, meaning litter box, water, unlimited food. Do not let her out. The kittens do not need supplementing if they are gaining weight with their mother. You must keep their mother in.

Now i don't let her out...she is always with her kittens...but the problem is that the lazy kitten not open his eyes yet...he is 12 days old now...is that normal ?? His eyes are clean ...like he open his eyes any time
Yes, the day of opened eyes may vary. some open earlier, some a little later, some "just in average time" You have a couple of days more before to begin and worry.
IF you ever need to supplement, you can choose. But goats milk is ok to give as it is.
I agree with TalkingPeanut, if the kittens grow every day with mommas milk, they dont need supplementing. Perhaps alter when then are 5+ weeks, but not yet.
having a big belly means they are getting enough milk . so don't worry

Again, not necessarily. Weighing the kitten every day is the best way to know that the kitten is healthy and thriving.
I guess , I watched my 4 kittens every day to see if they were feeding good , then I read that if their belly went big , that is a good sign .

Weighing them daily is the only way to know for sure. Kittens can also have big bellies from worms, etc.

I suppose so. As long as there is need.
The problem is, it takes very much on her, being both pregnant, and giving milk to growing kittens... So this is the practical stopper.

Do you see the kittens nursing the mom? If so, they should be getting milk. If they cry and appear hungry, you will need to feed them yourself.
I had a cat that became pregnant within days of giving birth, her kittens were only a little over two months old when they were born, and she had 7! Needless to say I had to find homes for the older kittens and I did, but the one I kept nursed on mom right alongside the newborns. It DOES take a lot out of mom, so make sure you give her plenty of kitten food to build her up, it has more calories and nutrition. Good luck!

Why do you think she is pregnant again? I thought you were keeping her inside.
