Post IVF diet taboos
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method of assisting pregnancy in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization (IVF). In terms of diet after birth of test tube babies, some taboos should be paid special attention to. This article will elaborate on post IVF diet taboos from four aspects.
1. Irritant food
After birth, the digestive and absorptive abilities of test tube babies are weak because their gastrointestinal functions are not fully developed. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid giving stimulating food, such as spicy food, caffeine, chocolate, carbonated drinks, etc. These foods may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and digestive problems, affecting the health of infants.
In addition, the baby's liver function is also weak, unable to effectively metabolize high-fat food. Therefore, high fat foods, such as fried foods and cakes, should be avoided. High fat food is easy to cause indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort, which may bring discomfort and even potential health problems to the baby.
2. Allergen food
The immune system of IVF needs a period of time to gradually develop and adapt to the external environment. In this process, the baby is more sensitive to allergen food. Therefore, in the early stage after the birth of test tube babies, foods with potential allergens, such as fish, nuts, peanuts, wheat, eggs, etc., should be avoided. These foods may cause allergic reactions, leading to eczema, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.
For allergen food, families should try to choose fresh, healthy and additive free food. In addition, after the test tube baby meets certain growth and development requirements, allergen food can be gradually introduced to help the baby gradually adapt and establish the immune system.
3. Drugs and additives
The digestive system of IVF is relatively weak, and the tolerance to drugs and additives is relatively low. Therefore, early administration of drugs and additives should be avoided as far as possible. Especially OTC drugs and chemical additives, such as antibiotics, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, etc. These substances may burden the liver and kidney functions of IVF babies, causing discomfort and health problems.
If test tube babies need to receive drug treatment or additives, they should strictly follow the doctor's instructions, and monitor the baby's reactions and adverse reactions. At the same time, drugs containing sugar or preservatives should also be avoided to reduce unnecessary effects on infants.
4. Balanced diet and nutrition
The diet of test tube babies needs to pay attention to the principle of balanced nutrition. Try to choose fresh and diversified foods, including vegetables, fruits, grains, proteins and dairy products. These foods provide the vitamins, minerals and proteins your baby needs and help your baby grow healthily.
At the same time, it should be noted that the baby should be supplemented with enough liquid to maintain the baby's water balance and prevent dehydration. You can choose breast milk or formula milk as your baby's main drink, and make appropriate supplements according to your baby's needs.
summary
The following taboos should be noted in the diet of test tube babies: avoid irritating food and high-fat food, try to avoid allergen food, avoid giving drugs and additives, and pay attention to the nutritional balance of diet. Following these taboos can ensure the healthy growth and development of IVF. Families should pay close attention to the dietary needs of test tube babies, consult professional doctors, and make appropriate adjustments and supplements according to the growth and development of the baby. Reasonable diet management can lay a good foundation for the health of IVF.
