Oral Syringes and Eye Droppers. Oral syringes or eye droppers can be used to directly administer medications orally, or can be used for accurate measuring and mixing. Oral syringes come in a variety of sizes, and some include special stoppers to make them easier to use.
Sore breasts. Several days after the C-section, your breasts might become firm, swollen and tender (engorgement). To ease discomfort, nurse, use a breast pump, apply warm washcloths or take a warm shower to express milk. Between feedings, place cold washcloths or ice packs on your breasts.
1. Get Plenty of Rest. A C-section is major surgery. Just like with any other surgery, your body needs time to heal afterward. Expect to stay in the hospital for three to four days after your delivery (longer if there are complications), and give your body up to six weeks to fully heal. Thatâs easier said than done. Itâs hard to crawl into bed for hours on end when you have a baby who is demanding lots of attention.
