What should I eat after IVF?

With the progress of science and technology, IVF technology has become the hope of many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The birth of IVF has given many families great joy, but as parents of newborn babies, we need to understand the dietary needs of IVF babies after birth. The following will elaborate on what IVF babies should eat from the following four aspects: breast-feeding, formula, introduction of complementary foods, and early diet habits.

1. Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is the most ideal diet for test tube babies. Breast milk is rich in antibodies and immune substances, which can help strengthen the immune system of infants and reduce the risk of infection. In the first few days after birth, the mother's milk is usually colostrum, which is rich in immune cells and components that can promote the development of the intestinal tract. During the breast-feeding of test tube babies, mothers should maintain good dietary habits and take in enough nutrients, such as protein, calcium, iron and vitamin D, to ensure the quality of milk.

2. Formula milk powder

In some cases, IVF may not be able to get enough nutrition from breast milk or breast feeding is not feasible. At this time, formula is a good choice. Formulas are designed to be similar to human milk and contain nutrients needed by infants, such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Select the formula suitable for the age and needs of test tube infants, and correctly prepare and feed them according to the guidance of doctors or nutritionists.

3. Introduction of complementary foods

Generally, in the first six months after birth, breast milk or formula is the main dietary source of IVF infants. However, when IVF reaches the appropriate age, the introduction of complementary foods is necessary. Generally speaking, infants around 6 months old can start to try some thin paste like food, such as rice flour, flour or ground vegetables. Gradually increase the variety and texture of food to provide more nutrition for infants.

4. Develop early eating habits

It is particularly important for IVF babies to develop their early eating habits. Cultivating healthy eating habits will help babies grow up healthily. Try to avoid adding too much sugar and salt, and gradually introduce fresh fruits, vegetables and balanced protein sources, such as fish, eggs and beans. At the same time, avoid processed foods high in sugar, salt and fat, and introduce foods containing gluten too early to prevent allergy or indigestion. In conclusion, the dietary requirements of IVF are similar to those of naturally pregnant infants. Breastfeeding is the most ideal choice, and formula can be used as an alternative or supplement. At an appropriate age, it is necessary to introduce complementary foods and develop healthy eating habits. Understanding and meeting the dietary needs of IVF infants will help them grow up healthily. Remember, always follow the advice and guidance of your pediatrician on the diet of test tube babies.
