You’ll need a digital kitchen scale that weighs in grams for the kittens. They are available at Walmart.

If momma cleans them, you dont need to wipe them too. Unless you see its really needed.
Usually its a big help if momma takes care of them, even if you must handfeed.
If so, you may even allow yourself to sleep some now and then!

You being a mom, does help you much in this situation with weak kittens. Both be used to a long time non sleeping, but not least, to organize things and solve problems. Find your own working solutions if necessary.
Having a scared new be caretaker, its often my advice for getting help: if they cant find some seasone caretaker of cats or dogs or rabbits, try to get help from a momma of several children. They are used to not to panic, but find solutions and manage even chaotic situations...
Even better than a dad in a similiar situation - but yes there are good male caretakers too. Among cats and among humans.

Thats exactly what we had been doing. She bolted as soon as thr door opened and stayed out for like 3 days ever since has been inside and until we can get her fixed she will stay inside. Does anyone know when I can take her to get fixed now?

She can be spayed when the kittens are 8 weeks old.
The kittens should stay with Mom until they are 10-12 weeks at least, and should ideally be fixed before they are rehomed.
