Newborn After MMC Surgery | 6-Hour Recovery & Feeding#feed #feelings

A newborn’s first hours after MMC (myelomeningocele) surgery require close monitoring. After surgery, the medical team may assess breathing, pain, wound condition, positioning, and feeding readiness. Bottle feeding should only begin when the surgical/neonatal team confirms it is safe and follows the baby’s individualized feeding plan. Disclaimer: This content is for general education only and is not medical advice. Feeding and postoperative care must follow the instructions of the baby’s neurosurgery/neonatal team. Never start bottle feeding after surgery based on an online protocol alone. Hashtags: #Newborn #MMCSurgery #Myelomeningocele #SpinaBifida #NICU #NewbornRecovery #BabyCare #BottleFeeding
