You should be massaging their anus and urinary office after every feeding to get them to urinate and defecate. Use a cotton ball or Kleenex moistened with warm water to do this. They may not passes feces or urine after every mean, but if there are multiple feeds where they aren't passing anything, I would take the kittens into a vet immediately to get help doing this. Once they are three weeks old, they should pass feces and urine without help.
