Unfortunetly no she the only doe

Are there any other breeders in your area that you could foster the baby too?
Is the doe getting enough protein? I've read sometimes does can be late in getting their milk production.
Hand rearing should really be a last resort as the outcome isn't usually all that great.
Otherwise I believe KMR - Kitten Milk Replacement is likely the way to go. Not everyone adds other things to it.
Have a read through this until Majorv or another one of our Breeders can offer some advice.

Thanks for your reply but i live in the bahamas and their are not any other breeders that are friendly enough .what can i feed her to help milk production

Try giving the kits goats milk in a dropper since you probably don't have KMR available. It doesn't happen too often that a doe takes 48 hours to get their milk but the goats milk should keep them alive until she does. You could also try to find a vet who will give your doe something to bring her milk in. I will typically give my does a little calf manna because it's suppose to help with milk production, buy it may not be available there. It's high in protein.

Ok il try goat milk tomorrow thanks i hope they still be alive by then
