وَيُطْعِمُهَا بِيَدِهِ،

and he feeds her with his hand,

بِيَدِهِ with his hand

This packs the preposition bi- ('with, by means of') plus a noun and the attached '-hi' (his), giving 'with his hand'. Here bi- is the instrument-marker, naming what he fed her by. The '-hi' ties the hand to the son and makes the noun definite, underscoring the personal tenderness of the act.
