Kittens can die from being too cold. You can confine the Mom with kittens to a small room so she has to stay close and take care of them. If you need to make sure the temperature inside is warm and they have blankets and towels to cover up in to help stay warm. If they are not nursing well you can supplement with bottle feeding or place them on the Mom and sit with her to make sure she lays with them. If you bottle feed then you will have to do so it every 2-4 hours to keep them full
