How does the flatulence of one month of test tube baby alleviate?
Flatulence is one of the common problems of many infants after birth. Although the physical condition and development of IVF infants are not significantly different from those of naturally born infants, their digestive system may be more vulnerable to impact due to their special experience during pregnancy. This article will introduce how to relieve the flatulence of test tube babies for one month from the following aspects.
Feeding skills
First, correct feeding techniques can help ease the flatulence problem of test tube babies. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition. Test tube babies are recommended to breastfeed. Breast milk contains substances that help digestion and exhaust, and also help strengthen the infant's immunity. When feeding, the mother should ensure that the baby sucks the nipple correctly and avoid eating too fast. At the same time, pay attention to the baby's posture. It is recommended to adopt a more upright or slightly inclined posture, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of gas.
Secondly, if breastfeeding is difficult, you can choose to use formula. However, it is recommended to select milk powder suitable for infants under the guidance of doctors or professionals, and prepare it in strict accordance with the instructions. In the process of feeding, it is necessary to give the baby enough time to drink milk, pause properly, let the baby burp or exhaust, which will help reduce the occurrence of flatulence.
Finally, after feeding, the baby should maintain an upright position to promote the smooth discharge of gas. The mother can hold the baby up, make its body and legs form a U-shape, and gently pat the baby's back to help the stomach qi be discharged smoothly. When the baby is sleeping, the head of the baby's bed can also be slightly raised, so that its head is higher than the chest, reducing the occurrence of flatulence.
Diet adjustment
In addition to correct feeding techniques, diet adjustment is also an important measure to relieve flatulence in test tube infants. First, avoid excessive intake of air. When feeding, the mother should ensure that the nipple of the bottle is completely filled with milk to avoid breathing air. In addition, babies should avoid excessive crying when eating, because crying will cause a lot of air to enter the stomach.
Secondly, if the baby has lactose intolerance or other food allergy problems, you can consider adjusting the diet. Some IVF babies may not tolerate certain foods, such as lactose or gluten. In this case, the mother can try to remove or reduce the intake of these foods and observe the baby's reaction. If the situation improves, some new food can be gradually introduced, but attention should be paid to monitoring the baby's response.
Finally, the mother's diet will also affect the flatulence of IVF. Some foods, such as beans, spicy food, raw and cold food, may lead to the generation of gas in the mother's body, which is transmitted to the baby through breast milk. Therefore, mothers should avoid eating these foods that are easy to cause flatulence during lactation, which will help reduce the flatulence problem of infants.
Massage and exercise
Massage and exercise is one of the natural methods to relieve flatulence in test tube babies. Babies' abdominal massage can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote gas discharge. When massaging, the mother should gently massage the baby's abdomen clockwise with warm fingers. At the same time, leg movement can be properly carried out, such as gently bending the baby's calf to the chest, and then slowly straightening. Such exercise helps stimulate intestinal peristalsis and relieve flatulence.
Seek medical help
If the problem of flatulence still exists despite the above measures, it is recommended to seek medical help in a timely manner. Doctors can further evaluate the causes of flatulence and give corresponding treatment suggestions based on the specific conditions of test tube babies. In some serious cases, the doctor may recommend some special drugs to relieve flatulence.
summary
For the problem of flatulence of test tube babies for one month, we can take the following measures: correct feeding skills, diet adjustment, massage and exercise, and timely medical help. Through reasonable diet and proper exercise, the problem of flatulence of test tube babies can be effectively alleviated, so that babies can grow more comfortably and healthily.
