Nutritional requirements of post test tube infant diet

After the birth of test tube babies, good diet and nutrition play a vital role in their health and normal development. The dietary requirements of IVF infants are different from those of natural infants, which requires special attention and adjustment. The nutritional requirements of IVF post diet will be elaborated from several aspects below.

1. Breast milk or infant formula

After the birth of test tube babies, breast milk or infant formula is the main source of nutrition. Breast milk is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals, which can meet the needs of various nutrients for infant growth and development. For test tube infants without breast milk supply, doctors will recommend the use of infant formula suitable for their age to ensure their nutritional needs. The intake of breast milk or infant formula should be determined according to the age, weight and growth of the infant. In general, test tube babies need to be fed 6-8 times a day in the first few months of life, taking about 60-90 ml of milk each time. As the baby grows, the amount of milk will gradually increase.

2. Vitamin and mineral supplement

IVF babies need additional vitamins and minerals to support their normal development and immune system function. Usually, doctors will recommend the use of vitamin and mineral supplements specially designed for infants. These supplements contain various nutrients needed by infants, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, iron, calcium, etc. Vitamin and mineral supplements should be taken according to the doctor's instructions. Generally speaking, infants need to take a certain amount of vitamin D and iron every day for several months after birth.

3. Introduce complementary food

As test tube babies grow up, their digestive system becomes more mature, and it is necessary to gradually introduce complementary foods. Generally, infants begin to adapt to complementary foods about 6 months after birth. The first complementary food can be rice paste or other single food like mud food, such as pure fruit paste or vegetable paste. In the process of introducing complementary food, attention should be paid to the selection and quality of food. It is better to choose fresh and organic food materials and gradually introduce different kinds of food to ensure that infants get a variety of nutrients.

4. Drinking water and liquid intake

In addition to taking milk powder and complementary food, IVF also needs appropriate drinking water and other liquids to meet daily water needs. In the first few months of a baby's life, breast milk or formula has provided enough water. As infants gradually come into contact with complementary foods, water or fruit juice can be added in an appropriate amount to meet their water needs. However, care should be taken not to give babies too much water or juice to avoid affecting their demand for milk powder or breast milk. To sum up, the dietary requirements of IVF infants include the intake of breast milk or infant formula, supplementation of vitamins and minerals, introduction of appropriate complementary foods, and appropriate intake of water and liquids. A reasonable and balanced diet can provide the necessary nutrition for IVF babies and promote their healthy growth and development.
