How to take care of the baby after IVF?
IVF refers to the process of pregnancy and delivery of a woman who has cultivated a fertilized egg in vitro and implanted it into her mother through assisted reproductive technology. For the parents of IVF, it is very important to take care of the newborn correctly. The following will elaborate on the care of IVF from four aspects.
Feeding and nutrition
Newborn IVF babies may need special feeding and nutrition programs. First, breastfeeding is the best choice. Breast milk is rich in antibodies and nutrients needed by children, which can enhance their immunity. If breast-feeding is not possible, you can choose formula milk powder, and choose a milk powder brand suitable for the baby's age according to the doctor's advice. In addition, ensure that the baby has a balanced diet and provides sufficient protein, carbohydrate and fat to promote their growth and development.
At the same time, the parents of test tube babies should take their babies to regular hospitals for physical examination and evaluation, and supplement vitamins and minerals according to the guidance of doctors. The growth and development of infants at different stages need relevant nutritional support, so it is very important to maintain effective communication and cooperation with doctors.
In addition, the baby often burps and vomits milk during feeding. Parents should be patient and pay attention to whether the baby has chylous diarrhea, allergies and other problems, and seek medical advice in time.
Safety and Health
For IVF, it is very important to maintain a good safety and health environment. First of all, the family should be kept clean and tidy, and baby products and toys should be cleaned regularly to ensure the fresh air around the baby. During and after the baby's complementary feeding period, parents should strictly control the freshness and hygiene of food to ensure the baby's food safety.
In addition, the parents of test tube babies should do a good job in baby safety protection. This includes purchasing baby beds, trolleys, safety seats and other supplies that meet safety standards, avoiding placing babies in high places or dangerous areas, and regularly checking and disinfecting baby rooms and bathroom facilities to prevent babies from being infected.
At the same time, when caring for test tube babies, family members and caregivers should always be vigilant to prevent the baby from contacting sharp or harmful objects, touching heat or cold sources, and preventing the baby from falling or being injured.
Daily care and sleep
IVF babies need regular daily care and sleep management. First of all, you should bathe your baby regularly, use mild baby bath fluid, and pay attention to the control of water temperature to avoid irritation to the baby's skin. After bathing, dry the baby's skin in time, and put clean and soft clothes on the baby.
In addition, it is very important for their healthy development to ensure their sleep quality. IVF babies need different sleep time and frequency at different stages. Parents should establish a regular work and rest schedule for the baby, provide a comfortable and safe sleeping environment, avoid noise and light stimulation, provide suitable bedding, pillows and other supplies for the baby, and pay attention to the baby's sleeping posture. At present, the best recommended sleeping posture is supine.
In addition, it is necessary to observe and record the feeding, defecation and sleep of the baby at all times. If any abnormality is found, it is necessary to timely communicate with the doctor and deal with it.
Emotional companionship and education
Parents of IVF should provide adequate emotional companionship and education. The baby needs the attention and love of parents in the growth process to establish a safe and stable emotional connection. Parents can have intimate contact, hugging, story telling and other activities with their babies to strengthen the parent-child relationship.
At the same time, the parents of test tube babies should provide a good educational environment for their babies. This includes encouraging the baby's exploration and interest, providing rich toys and games, and timely language enlightenment and cognitive training. Parents should actively accompany their babies to grow up and give them good family education and guidance of values.
In a word, the care of IVF needs all-round attention and care. Correct feeding and nutrition, good safety and hygiene habits, daily care and sleep management, and emotional companionship and education are all important guarantees for the healthy growth of IVF. Through the unremitting efforts of parents, IVF will be able to enjoy the same happiness and happy growth as other children.
