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.
Vaginal delivery might be more painful, but C-section recovery pain is often intense, and the new mother needs a few weeks to gain full mobility. After a C-section, doctors closely monitor the mother for the first 24 hours and give her pain medication throughout the hospital stay.
