Brief Summary   Women who had Caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia with uneventful operative procedure were included in study . The population did not have any major medical or surgical comorbidities/complications prior to or during pregnancy, and labour. They will fulfill predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria , and they will criteria included in the proposed study .We will conduct a prospective, randomized controlled trial[open label] to compare the effects of  early oral  feeding to late oral feeding   during the post caesarean section period . The statistical analysis will enable us to draw meaningful conclusions from the data, specifically regarding the efficacy of early oral feeding compare to late oral feeding during post caesarean section period.  Feeding and hydration methods are clinically very relevant because it greatly affects physical and psychological wellbeing of mothers. At early oral feeding enhance mobilization of mothers in postoperative period it is likely to enhance  early breast feeding of neonates.
