How to care for platy babies?

My platy just gave birth and I need help on how to care for them. So far there are two, but I think she's still in labor while I'm writing this. I put them in a breeder's box to keep them safe from the other fish (3 male platys, 2 females). I feed the adult fish the fancy guppy food by Hikari. The pellets are small but I'm not sure if the babies can eat it and how much/ how often I should feed them. Does anyone know if this food is okay for them and if not what I should use?
Also, is three weeks a good amount of time to keep them in there? I want to make sure they will be big enough to not be eaten.
If there is anything else important to know about their care, please let me know. Thanks.

it's not that hard to raise them. Crush those pellets.
