It takes a lot to starve fry. You should prepare some green water while conditioning the parents ( a container of pond water with a handful of finely shredded grass left at room temperature will promote the growth of insofuria, a minute organism that can barely (if at all) be seen. Add a few drops a day for maturing fry.
You can also boil an egg yolk in water, blend the result and feed a couple of drops of that. In ten days to two weeks they are large enough to eat frozen baby brine shrimp.

Unlike guppy, and other live bearer fry. Betta fry are really really small. (Yes guppy fry are small, but they are giants compared to betta fry.) Generally you need something like mircoworms for the 1st few days. (There are commerial products, but most breeder swear by microworms.) Then baby brine shrimp. Then once they get a bit larger you can put them on flakes, or freeze dried brine shrimp.

Each one should be in its own separate tank, and you feed them betta food, a small amount only once or twice a day. Make sure the water is the right temperature and treated with that stuff that takes the chlorine out.

Hard boil an egg and feed them the yolk (yellow part). I used to breed Bettas it was my first fish hobby and thats all I fed them. Good Luck.

I feed my baby platys fish flakes.
Make the flakes really small so they can eat it then put it in the breeder tank.
Mine are getting bigger now cos of the flakes.

chances are people already said this but here it goes. freshly hatched brine shrimp, micro-worms, and i have also read somewhere that boiled egg yolk can work. just remember to do a lot of water changes as this will get messy.
