How to take care of IVF after feeding
Test tube baby refers to the baby delivered by in vitro fertilization technology. Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF has slightly different dietary needs and care methods. In order to ensure the healthy growth of IVF babies, the following will elaborate on how to take care of IVF babies in a healthy way from four aspects: pregnancy diet, infant birth diet, introduction of infant solid food and diet during the transition period.
1、 Pregnancy diet
The diet of IVF during pregnancy is crucial to the development of embryos. Pregnant women should take balanced food rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, and avoid excessive caffeine and alcoholic beverages. At the same time, pregnant women should eat more foods rich in folic acid, such as green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits and whole wheat food, to promote the neural tube development of embryos. In addition, pregnant women also need to maintain adequate water intake, supplement sufficient water, and maintain fluid balance in the body.
Pregnancy diet also needs to pay attention to the balanced intake of nutrition. Pregnant women can increase the intake of protein to meet the development needs of fetal organs. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid eating high calorie, high-fat food, so as not to lead to overweight of pregnant women and increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. It is suggested that pregnant women should develop a diet plan suitable for themselves under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist.
2、 Infant diet at birth
Breastfeeding is the main method of infant birth. Breast milk is rich in all kinds of nutrients needed for baby growth, and can provide babies with antibodies against diseases. In order to ensure the quality of breast milk, mothers should pay attention to the quality of their own diet. Eat a light and balanced diet, and avoid smoking, drinking and other bad habits. In addition, mothers should keep a good mood, avoid anxiety and mood fluctuations, so as to promote the secretion of breast milk.
If the mother cannot breastfeed, she can choose formula feeding. However, in order to avoid adverse reactions such as allergy, it is very important to choose the right milk powder. The choice of milk powder should be based on the infant's gastrointestinal condition, family allergy history and doctor's recommendations. The stomach capacity of newborn infants is small, and they need to eat frequently, generally feeding 8-12 times a day.
3、 Introduction of infant solid food
Generally speaking, infants can gradually introduce complementary foods from 6 months. First, we should choose milled cereals such as rice noodles and noodles, and then gradually introduce vegetables, fruits, fresh meat and other foods. When introducing new food, try one by one to observe the baby's reaction to avoid allergy. The texture of complementary food is mainly delicate and soft to adapt to the baby's eating ability.
Again, the baby's diet should be balanced. Babies need to get enough carbohydrate, fat, protein, various vitamins, minerals and other nutrients before they are one year old. At the same time, the infant's gastrointestinal development is not perfect, and it is necessary to avoid giving the baby too greasy and stimulating food. In addition, the growth rate of infants is fast, and the intake of protein and calcium in diet should be paid attention to.
4、 Transitional diet
The transition period refers to the transition period from infancy to early childhood. At this stage, the dietary needs of infants and young children are gradually approaching those of adults. The amount and type of diet of infants can be gradually increased, but attention should still be paid to the quality of food and the balance of nutrition. Provide your baby with foods rich in protein, dietary fiber and vitamins, such as lean meat, eggs, beans, vegetables and fruits.
It is worth noting that it is better not to add seasonings and additives to the baby food in the transition period to prevent the baby from allergic reactions. In addition, the formation of eating habits is also very important. Infants should develop good eating habits, such as regular and quantitative eating, chewing slowly, etc., to develop a healthy lifestyle.
summary
Dietary care for IVF infants needs to be paid attention to at every stage from pregnancy to infancy. Reasonable nutrition intake can promote the development and healthy growth of infants. It is recommended that expectant mothers reasonably arrange their own diet, breastfeed or choose appropriate milk powder to feed their babies. In infancy, complementary foods are gradually introduced to ensure balanced intake of nutrients. In the transitional period, we should pay attention to the quality of food and develop good eating habits. Through scientific and reasonable diet care, IVF can grow healthily.
