The mom would not feed the kittens, so it was recommended that they supplement in the meantime.

The kittens look good now. All gained over 10 grams since yesterday. Very large round bellies. Mom has gotten into the routine and is doing a good job.

Thanks for all of your help.

That is excellent news.  Make sure mom is getting plenty of food, wet and dry and water.  Keep us updated.

Maybe you can take the mom and kitten with you in bed

Or you can talk to the mom to stay with the kitten and train the mom to do that

Just put a nice food next to the kitten and something nice to play with so the mom likes to stay with the kitten

Also you can play a record kitten meiwing and have the mom go toward the kitten with the record player miewing

You can also make your kitten miew

The mom if young may have problem; talk to your  mom cat and also to the kitten cat and they will get very smart

Make sure you feed small bits of chicken and wet food 2 oz per lb per day

Make sure the mom and kitten get condense milk each day

You feed the kitten with the chicken bits just once in morning and once in the evening but leave a wet food next to her in a small eating small

Train the kitten to go in the wet bowl and have her smell the wet bowl and also have her feet touch a little to the milk

Put her in a nice clean huge laundry basket and she will be alright until she can roam around and will not get hurt or get lost under pianos and sofa or cupboards
