What should we pay attention to after IVF diet?
IVF is the process of cultivating fertilized eggs in vitro through artificial assisted reproduction technology, and then transferring the well developed embryos to the mother's uterus for pregnancy. After the birth of test tube babies, diet is crucial to their healthy development. The following will elaborate on the contents that should be paid attention to in the diet of test tube babies from four aspects: pregnant women's nutrition, baby's breastfeeding and the addition of complementary foods, and the avoidance of allergic factors.
1、 Maternal nutrition
The health of IVF is closely related to the nutrition intake of pregnant women. Pregnant women need to maintain adequate nutrition intake, including protein, vitamins, minerals, etc. Protein is an essential nutrient for baby growth. Pregnant women need to eat about 60-80 grams of protein every day. They can choose fish, poultry, beans and other foods as the source of protein. In addition, vitamins and minerals should not be ignored. Pregnant women should take adequate folic acid, iron, calcium and other nutrients.
At the same time, pregnant women should also pay attention to avoiding excessive intake of caffeine, alcohol and various harmful substances, which may have a negative impact on the development of embryos. In addition, pregnant women should eat regularly and avoid overeating or prolonged fasting to ensure the normal development of embryos.
2、 Breastfeeding and complementary foods for babies
The baby's diet is mainly breast milk, because breast milk contains rich nutrients, which helps the baby's immune system development and intellectual development. Immunoglobulins and antibodies in breast milk can help babies fight infection and disease.
For the first six months after the baby is born, breast milk is the main food for the baby, and no additional complementary food is needed. After six months, the baby's digestive system is gradually developed and can gradually add vegetables, fruits, grains and other complementary foods. When adding complementary foods, the variety and quantity should be gradually increased to observe whether the baby is allergic to certain foods. If allergic reactions occur, the addition should be stopped in time.
When adding complementary food, attention should be paid to avoid adding salt, sugar and other condiments, as well as stimulating food. At the same time, attention should be paid to hygiene in the cooking of complementary foods to ensure that the ingredients are fresh and pollution-free.
3、 Avoid allergy factors
The baby's immune system will gradually develop and improve after birth, but it is still relatively weak and easy to cause allergic reactions. Therefore, the intake of allergic foods such as shrimp, crab, milk, eggs and peanuts should be avoided in the diet of IVF.
When the baby starts to add complementary food, it is also necessary to gradually introduce allergic food and observe whether the baby has allergic reactions. If your baby has a family history of allergy, you should introduce allergic foods more carefully and under the guidance of a doctor.
4、 Medical consultation and regular inspection
The healthy development of IVF needs the professional guidance and monitoring of doctors. When pregnant, the mother should have a regular prenatal examination to keep abreast of the baby's health. After the baby is born, it is also necessary to go to the hospital regularly for physical examination to ensure that the baby's growth and development are within the normal range.
At the same time, when encountering food problems and confusion, mother should consult the doctor in time to understand the correct feeding methods and precautions.
summary
The diet after IVF should pay attention to the following four aspects: pregnant women's nutrition, baby's breastfeeding and complementary food addition, avoidance of allergic factors, medical consultation and regular inspection. Pregnant women should keep adequate nutrition intake and avoid excessive intake of harmful substances. The baby's diet is mainly breast milk, and complementary food is gradually added according to the baby's growth and development. Allergic food intake should be avoided in diet and doctors should be consulted in due course. Regular medical examination can keep abreast of the baby's health. Through proper diet and medical guidance, IVF can grow healthily.
