Congratulations on your new additions! She should be able to nurse all of them. You should get a gram scale and monitor the weights. You may need to rotate the kittens, especially, smaller ones to allow them to nurse better. Bottle feeding to supplement may also be necessary. Transition Nancy to a high quality kitten food until she weans the litter. You shouldn't need to give her any calcium supplements. Consider an exam with your veterinarian to confirm mom and kittens are healthy.
