Okay, the best thing to do is this, go to a local cat or animal store and buy KMR Kitten Milk, get bottles with the nipples and start holding the kittens in one arm, and the bottle in your other hand .If the mother comes back let them do their thing, if they start milking and the mother starts to leave just hold her bottom and chest down lightly, just light enough to hold her down and allow the kittens to milk.
Another answer:
If you can get her to settle in your lap, pet her and make her comfortable. Then have someone bring the kittens to your lap, one at a time, so she can feed her kittens without giving up the pleasures she used to have before they came along. (If there's nobody to hand you the kittens, put them where you can reach them easily.) Unless you're wearing a skirt, you should put a towel or something over your lap so nobody falls through!
Sometimes mother cats need a break away from the kids, just like humans.
Or she may have sore nipples. They should be enlarged and pink, but healthy looking.
