Answer: A, B
Appropriate care for an infant after a laparoscoptic pylormyotomy including burping the infant after every 1-2 ounces of formula and sliding the diaper under the baby versus pulling on the legs in order to decrease the pressure on the incision site. The baby should be fed on demand, not three times per day. The infant should be held upright for 30 minutes after each feeding. The incision site should be kept clean and dry.
