No.... your supposed to let the dead momma in the tank as it grows
fungus and such and when it starts to rot in a few hours time it
provides fish and nutrition for the baby fishes........Its perfectly
normal. In no time at all all that will be left is scales and tiny
bones and fat little fry.

Which species? And in what kind of aquarium you have them (size, water
quality, filtration and so on)?

Momma livebearers are not supposed to die after giving birth, but they
quite often do that if they are kept in too dirty, too soft or too acidic
water or they are not fed properly during pregnancy. In these cases the fry
is often also weak and if they grow up, they might be deformed and
smallish, perhaps unfertile too.

Dead fish has to be always removed from the tank immediately, because they
spoil water quickly if the tank is quite small.

Feeding babies depends on the species, but small live food is best for most
species. Very small fish need infusoria, bigger babies (like most
livebearers have) can eat small artemia, cyclops or daphnia. You can also
give high quality flake foods and vegetables.

Thats bullshit. TYNKS momma died anmd she feasted of her momma....now
that she supposedly has a hubby, she is still feasting off small food
items.....Dead fish are natural and a good source of vitamins and
proteins for baby fish. Tynk nowadays gets her source of protein from
another source since she got her dick transplant.

==============================
If the mother is dead remove her. The baby fish should be fed small amounts
of fry food several times a day. Also start doing partial water changes
with water of the same temperature as the tank and dechlorinated.

How large is the tank and what kind of fish are they?

==========================
These kinds of live foods are seldom if ever available in most parts of the
USA. Sometimes someone in a fish club will be growing their own and will
share some with another hobbyist. You can't just walk into any pet store
and buy it here.
