How to properly nurse test tube babies in later stage
IVF babies are babies born through IVF assisted pregnancy, and their care needs special attention. Proper care is essential for their health and growth. The following will elaborate on how to properly care for IVF babies from the aspects of diet, daily care, physical exercise and medical examination.
Dietary care
IVF babies need special diet to promote healthy growth after birth. First of all, breast milk is the most ideal food. It contains rich antibodies and nutrients, which can help strengthen the baby's immunity. If the breast milk is insufficient or unable to feed the breast milk, you can choose formula feeding, but you need to pay attention to selecting the milk powder suitable for the age of test tube infants, and follow the doctor or nutritionist's recommendations for formula and feeding. In addition, the diet should avoid adding too much salt, sugar and condiments to avoid adverse effects on the baby's health.
When adding complementary food, choose fresh and pure ingredients, such as vegetables, fruits, cereals, etc. Guide your baby to gradually accept a variety of foods, and gradually develop their taste and digestion. The nutrition in the diet should be balanced, including protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals, to meet the growth needs of the baby.
At the same time, we should try to avoid feeding too greasy food and high sugar drinks during the diet to prevent obesity, diabetes and other diseases. Monitor the baby's weight and height, and make appropriate dietary adjustments according to the doctor's instructions.
Daily care
Daily care of IVF babies should include bathing, changing diapers, keeping the room clean, etc. When bathing, warm water and baby skin care products should be used to avoid the use of irritating chemical ingredients or essence. When changing diapers, you should use diapers with good permeability and strong water absorption. You should change them every once in a while to keep your baby's skin clean and dry.
In addition, the clothes and bedding of test tube babies should be kept clean, washed and disinfected frequently to avoid bacterial infection. Keep the room ventilated, avoid direct sunlight, and prevent the baby from catching cold and sunburn. Trim your baby's nails regularly to avoid scratching your skin.
IVF babies also need a good social environment in their daily life, to establish close relations with their parents and other relatives, and to contact external sounds and things. This helps their cognitive and emotional development.
Physical movement
Exercise of IVF is an important factor to promote growth and development. From birth, babies should be provided with appropriate physical activities, such as helping them sit up, clapping their hands, cuddling, etc. With the support of the big background, gradually develop the baby's ability to crawl, stand and walk.
In addition, IVF babies can be brought to the outdoor or indoor safe environment for free activities to promote their physical development and sensory development. During exercise, pay attention to the safety of the baby to avoid accidents. According to the doctor's suggestion, the baby can swim or massage properly to promote the baby's blood circulation and muscle development.
Medical examination
In view of the special situation of IVF, it is necessary to carry out medical examination regularly. First, a hospital or clinic with experience and advanced equipment should be selected for physical examination and development assessment. The contents of medical examination include growth curve, organ function, hearing, vision, etc., as well as following the vaccination plan.
Regular inspection can detect and prevent some common diseases and problems as early as possible, such as hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, respiratory tract infection, etc. If any abnormality is found, consult the doctor in time and treat according to the doctor's advice.
Summary
In the later stage of IVF care, diet, daily care, physical exercise and medical examination should be comprehensively considered. By providing reasonable diet, good daily care, moderate physical activity and regular medical examination, IVF can achieve healthy growth. The attention and assistance of parents and doctors is the key to ensure the late care of IVF.
