welcome to MFT!

how big is your tank? so the tank is new and you put in new fishes too at the same time?
so the adults are in which tank? and which tank are the babies in?
usually with live bearers, you don't do much...feed them and watch them grow.

next time though...you could this to easily separate the pregnant molly from the babies. it's used for guppies too.

Mollies are pretty big babies. Finely crushed flake food will work, and you can also offer an algae eater for them to pick at.
