get some kitten milk powder and a feeding bottle from a pet shop or your veterinarian. mix the milk according to instructions on the tin and feed the kittens in addition to mummy feeding them. They should gain approx. 100g per week, ie they should weigh 300 grammes now at 3 weeks of age. If the kitten keeps meowing even after the additional feedings, it should be examined by a veterinarian. make sure you feed Sookie good quality cat food, preferably tinned food, pate style. you can also give her kitten food as she needs a lot of energy and protein to make an adequate amount of milk.
