It is hard to tell sometimes. The most reliable way is to keep a close eye on the kittens and weigh them each day and record their weights. Weight gain should be constant.

If a kitten seems weak, doesn't seem to be feeding well or is not gaining much weight (or losing weight) for a few days, seek a vet's advice immediately.
