Are they the only fish in the tank? Has the tank been cycled? Is it filtered and heated? If so all you have to worry about is feeding. You should be able feed them finely ground flake food.
As long as the tank is set up well and they are out of harms way, feeding is the only issue. I feed my fry 'Wardley's fry food'. It's a liquid/powder form so it's easy to feed from. BTW, congrats.
You can make your own liquid fry food. Take a couple of flakes of food, put in a small glass jar and set in direct sunlight. After a few days, the glass will go cloudy. This is a batch of infusoria. I add a couple of tablespoons of the liquid each day, usually in the morning. I have a tank I set up for a friend and her guppies had babies, and they've been doing quite well on that. Also, when you feed in general, I would also crush the flakes even more than usual.

You might want to get a baby holder that stay inside the tank. There is one made by Penn Plax that is very good.
