You need to separate the newborn fry from other larger fish or you risk having all your fry eaten. Fry from livebearers (guppies, swordtails, platties, mollies, etc.) can accepts powered flake food, other live foods such as baby brine shrimp are excellent foods, feed a small amount every 3 to 4 hours during the day.
The very first thing you should do is place the pregnant guppy in a smaller, gravel-free tank. This tank should be filtered with a filter that won't suck in any babies, so choose a gentle filter. A heater is also highly recommended. Then, if you choose to, you can buy a breeding box. These boxes consist of two compartments-the top one is where your female guppy will stay while giving birth, and the babies are automatically dropped into the second compartment, being protected from the mom. They need to be protected from their mother because she will eat them. If you opt against the breeding box, then make sure there are plenty of floating plants in your breeding aquarium (the separate aquarium you move your pregnant guppy to). It should be an extremely densely-planted aquarium, as the guppy babies might get a chance to hide from their mom by hiding in the plants. I think the breeding box is your best bet, though, if you want to save all of the babies. However, do note that guppies give way more babies than most people expect and want-if you want a controlled population, do not use a breeding box. By eating some of them, the adult guppy will decrease the guppy population to a manageable number. Good luck!
