How can IVF promote healthy development in later stage?
IVF is developed by cultivating embryos on the basis of in vitro fertilization and implanting healthy embryos into the mother's uterus through assisted reproductive technology. After the birth of IVF, families and doctors need to take measures to ensure the healthy development of the baby. This article will elaborate on how to promote the healthy development of IVF in the later stage from four aspects: preparation of nutrition meal, regular physical examination, provision of appropriate stimulation and psychological comfort.
Preparation of nutritious meal
After the birth of the test tube baby, the family needs to reasonably prepare nutritious meals according to the age and food intake of the baby. Breastfeeding is the most ideal way, because breast milk contains rich nutrients, which can provide comprehensive nutrition for the baby. However, some mothers cannot breastfeed and can choose infant formula, which can meet the nutritional needs of infants through scientific formula. In addition, the time for the baby to eat complementary food also needs to be mastered, generally between 4-6 months. When adding complementary food, it is necessary to choose digestible food such as rice flour and fruit puree, and gradually introduce vegetables, meat and other food to meet the needs of various nutrients for infant growth and development.
In addition to the preparation of dinner, snacks are also key. After the baby starts to grow teeth, it can provide some snacks suitable for the baby, such as rice cakes, biscuits, etc., to meet their exploration of new taste. However, parents should pay attention to that they should try to avoid providing snacks with high sugar content to their babies to prevent adverse effects on teeth and health.
Regular physical examination
IVF babies need regular physical examination in later stage. Parents should choose a regular hospital or clinic and take their babies for physical examination regularly. Physical examination includes measurement of height and weight, observation of infant growth, examination of organ development and screening of possible genetic diseases. Through regular physical examination, doctors can find and deal with potential health problems as early as possible to ensure the normal development of the baby's body and organs.
In addition, parents can also carry out some simple physical examinations at home. For example, the amount of urine and defecation of a baby can be learned by observing the humidity of diapers and the frequency of defecation. Pay attention to the baby's activity ability and concentration. If there is any abnormality, consult the doctor in time.
Provide appropriate stimulation
In the later stage of IVF, the brain development of the baby is very important. Parents should provide all kinds of appropriate stimuli for their babies to promote their cognitive and motor development. This includes making eye contact, talking, singing, rocking and dancing with your baby. You can prepare some simple toys and picture books for your baby to stimulate their interest and development potential.
In addition, it is also very important to help your baby establish a regular schedule. The baby needs enough sleep to promote brain development and body recovery. Therefore, parents should develop a fixed sleep time and ensure that the baby sleeps in a quiet, clean and comfortable environment.
Psychological comfort
The psychological comfort of IVF is also important. During the growth of IVF babies, they may face challenges such as sleep problems, emotional fluctuations, fears, and adaptation to new environments and interpersonal communication. Parents can give their babies enough care and security by establishing a relaxed family atmosphere to promote their good psychological state.
At the same time, parents should also pay attention to their own psychological conditions. The growth of IVF babies may bring pressure and anxiety to parents. Therefore, parents need to learn to adjust their emotions and seek social support and professional guidance.
The healthy development of IVF can be promoted through the preparation of nutritious meal, regular physical examination, provision of appropriate stimulation and psychological comfort. The care and efforts of families and doctors will lay a solid health foundation for IVF and pave the way for their future.
