Taboos of IVF diet
IVF babies are babies born through in vitro fertilization technology. Their health and growth need special attention. Diet is a vital part of the growth of infants, and reasonable diet arrangement plays a vital role in the healthy development of infants. However, there are also some taboos on the diet of IVF. The following will elaborate on the diet taboos of IVF from four aspects.
Taboo 1: Irritant food
The digestive system of test tube babies is relatively weak, so they should avoid giving them stimulating food. Stimulating food mainly includes spicy food, caffeine, strong tea, fried food, etc. These foods may cause indigestion of IVF, and even cause gastroenteritis and other diseases. Therefore, when choosing food for IVF, try to choose mild and digestible food.
In addition, alcohol is one of the taboos in IVF diet. Alcohol has an irreversible effect on the nervous system development of test tube babies, which may lead to mental retardation, growth retardation and other problems. In order to ensure the healthy growth of IVF, alcohol intake should be completely avoided in the diet.
Taboo 2: Too fond of sweet
Test tube babies should try to avoid excessive sweetness in their diet. Excessive intake of sugar may lead to obesity, dental caries and other problems in infants. The islet function of test tube infants is not yet mature, and excessive sugar intake may have a negative impact on the development of islet function. Therefore, parents should avoid giving test tube babies too sweet and greasy food and control sugar intake in an appropriate amount.
In addition, it should be noted that adding honey is also a taboo in IVF diet. The honey may contain bacterial spores that have not yet fully developed in the infant's intestinal tract, and ingestion may cause botulism in infants, leading to serious neuromuscular disease. Therefore, before the baby is one year old, honey should be completely avoided.
Taboo 3: Hyperallergenic food
Because the immune system of test tube babies is not fully developed, their tolerance to allergic foods is relatively low, and they are prone to allergic reactions. Common high allergy foods include eggs, peanuts, fish, shrimp, etc. Therefore, the intake of these highly allergic foods should be avoided as far as possible in the diet of IVF. When introducing new food, try one by one to observe whether the baby has allergic reaction and stop eating in time.
Taboo 4: Excessive intake of salt and sugar
The renal function of test tube infants is not fully developed, and they have low tolerance for excessive salt intake. Excessive salt intake may lead to increased renal burden, and may also increase the risk of elevated blood pressure. Therefore, the use of salt in the diet of IVF should be minimized.
In addition, excessive addition of sugar is also one of the taboos of IVF diet. Excessive sugar intake not only easily leads to obesity, dental caries and other problems, but also may have a negative impact on the development of the infant's immune system. Therefore, the use of sugar should be minimized when choosing food for test tube babies.
summary
The dietary taboos of IVF mainly include stimulating food, excessive sweet preference, high allergy food, and excessive intake of salt and sugar. Parents should be aware of these taboos and pay attention when choosing food for IVF. Reasonable diet arrangement will contribute to the healthy development of IVF.
