Postoperative care of harelip babies is very important. The following are some common nursing methods:

1. Keep your mouth clean: After the operation, your baby's mouth needs to be clean and hygienic. You can gently wipe your baby's lips and mouth with a cotton swab dipped in warm water to remove residual food and secretions.

2. Pay attention to diet: A few days after operation, the baby may not eat solid food. You can feed your baby some liquid food, such as soup, juice, dairy products and so on. Avoid feeding your baby spicy, sweet and sour or hard food.

3. Avoid irritation: The baby may feel pain and discomfort after the operation. You can use ice packs or cold compresses to relieve your baby's pain and swelling. At the same time, avoid exposing your baby to any form of stimulation, such as touching, kneading or kissing.

4. Regular follow-up: After operation, you need to take your baby for regular follow-up to ensure good wound healing. The doctor will check the baby's oral health and provide necessary treatment advice.

5. Pay attention to psychological counseling: Rabbit lip surgery may be an unpleasant experience for the baby. You need to give your baby enough care and support to help them overcome fear and anxiety.
