In uncomplicated cases, your baby may be eating as soon as one week after surgery. Meanwhile, until your baby can swallow milk or formula, your baby will be fed through a vein (this is called an "IV") or through a stomach tube. Before regular feeding starts, an X-ray can check for any holes at the place the surgeon fixed.However, if your baby was premature, the recovery time might be a little longer. Another factor is how complicated the operation is. If the surgery is harder, it takes a few days longer for your baby to recover. Your baby will stay in the hospital during this time.
