Rationale: • Measure the infant's weight daily: Daily weight monitoring is standard for postoperative infants to assess hydration status and overall recovery. Accurate weight helps guide fluid replacement and nutrition management. • Initiate short breastfeeding sessions 12 hr postoperatively: Postoperative feedings usually begin relatively quickly (often 4-6 hours post-op) with small amounts of clear fluids or breast milk/formula, gradually increasing. 12 hours is an expected time frame to begin re-feeding/breastfeeding sessions. • Place the infant in prone position after feeding: Infants are placed on their backs (supine) to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Prone positioning after feeding is not recommended in postoperative care unless specifically ordered for surgical reasons. • Fold the infant's diaper below the incision site: Keeping the diaper below the surgical site prevents irritation, friction, or pressure on the incision, promoting healing and preventing infection. This is a standard nursing intervention after abdominal surgery in infants.
