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.
After the procedure. After a C-section, most mothers and babies stay in the hospital for two to three days. To control pain as the anesthesia wears off, you might use a pump that allows you to adjust the dose of intravenous (IV) pain medication. Soon after your C-section, you'll be encouraged to get up and walk. Moving around can speed your recovery and help prevent constipation and potentially dangerous blood clots. While you're in the hospital, your health care team will monitor your incision for signs of infection.
