Not all cats are good Moms, or, she may not have enough milk, or occluded nipples. Wash her nipples with a warm, damp wascloth to be sure there is no crusty or gooey stuf on her, then give her some brisk belly-rubs to encourage the milk to flow. Then put the kittens on her to nurse. If this doesn't work , you will have to bottle feed the kittens every 2-4 hours. And call the Vet as soon as possible.
