Hi..<br> First thing you should keep in mind is- the difficulties coming post surgery is absolutely temporary one..<br> First and fore most difficult task is feeding.. baby may find very much difficult to feed thru bottles or sippers.. use spoon.. may be rejecting foods as well.. dont worry it may take around 15days to cope up everything.. once healing process is complete, baby will obviously get adjusted.. you can use syringe as well to feed the baby.. give liquid food for initial days, later you can start with semi solid like halwa consistancy.. till one month dont go for any kind of hard food.. always keep the mouth clean.. feed baby more water after food feeding or milk feeding to clean mouth.. dont allow baby to put any kind of things in mouth like toys thumb sucking or any pther things.. absolutely take a care of baby's care taker that she is not infected with any kind of infections especially virals or throat infection.. baby should not get affected with running nose or sneezing or throat pain etc
