Everything that can be given orally with the permission of attending doctor ( of course minus fats), should be given. Hygeinic sugarcane juice has been in vogue.
But I would add that decoction of Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) works as elixir in such conditions. In ready made decoctions liquid Punarnavashtak Kwath or Punarnavadi Kwath in order of preference, should invariably be given whenever oral food starts.
Then there are yav kshar, Mukta shukti bhasm etc that may be given after consulting Ayurveda doctor. But decoction should be started on first opportunity.
In my career of 3 decades, success rate with these medicines have been overwhelming.
All the best.
