Answer
At two weeks, it will be a lot of stress on the mother to feed the babies herself. You will have to help out but be warned, you will more than likely kill the babies but if you don't help, you stand the chance of losing the mother as well as the babies. Unfortunately, I can't really teach you how to hand feed babies, you have to learn yourself. Pet stores sell hand feeding mix (powder form and you add water) that you can feed to babies.
I would pay attention to the mother to make sure she doesn't have what killed dad
