my daughter has converted to islam

Hi, I need your advice on what we need to do to adapt to her new faith. I know we are going to have to meet her needs, but what needs changing practically? Do we have to, for example, stop eating pork, etc.? Spiritually and culturally.

This truly depends on your daughter. Some muslims are fine with other still eating pork so long as it's cleaned between uses but some are not. She may ask you consider turning to buying halal meats, I can assure you that they taste the exact same and Halal butchers in my experience are fairly priced and the staff are typically happy to help.
Do you have a local mosque? reaching out to members can give your daughter the community she'll benefit from as she advances and grows into her faith. She may also want a private space to begin with for prayers to allow her privacy to get used to regular praying. If your wanting to gift her some things, modest clothing, headcsarfs and accesories, a prayer matt and even her own Quran which might help her settle and transition to feel more smooth.
Overall, this is a learning journey for both you and her and communication and patience as you go on this journey of faith will benefit you both greatly in the long run. I wish you both the best
