What care does test tube baby need in 11 days?
IVF is an in vitro fertilization baby through artificial assisted reproduction technology, which needs special care. Especially in the first few weeks after birth, families and hospitals need to provide special care and care for 11 day old IVF babies. The following is a detailed description of the care required for IVF infants in 11 days:
1. Feeding care
In the 11 days after birth, diet is very important. Test tube babies may face difficulties in smoking, swallowing and eating, so they need specific feeding care.
First, breastfeeding is the best choice. New mothers can consult professional doctors and nurses to learn proper breastfeeding skills. Breast milk is very important for the development of infants' immune system and digestive system.
If breastfeeding is not feasible, formula can be considered. When purchasing milk powder, you should choose a formula suitable for the age of test tube babies and feed them according to the doctor's instructions.
In addition, IVF babies may need supplementary feeding, such as using straws or bottles. Family and hospital nursing staff need to determine the most suitable feeding method according to the specific situation of the baby.
2. Temperature regulation
IVF babies have poor thermoregulation ability and are vulnerable to external environment. Therefore, it is very important to maintain appropriate room temperature and clothing.
The room temperature should be kept within an appropriate range, generally between 25-28 ℃. In cold weather, the use of heating equipment, such as a heater or electric blanket, can ensure that the baby's temperature is normal.
In addition, clothing choices are also important. It is necessary to choose suitable clothes for the baby, not too heavy or too weak, so as to keep the temperature stable. Clothing can be increased or decreased according to the temperature change.
The family nursing staff can also observe the baby's body reaction, such as skin color, hand and foot temperature, to ensure the baby's comfort and safety.
3. Health care
Hygiene is very important when caring for IVF babies. Because infants' immune system is not fully developed, they are more sensitive to bacteria and viruses.
Family and hospital nursing staff should always wash their hands and ensure that the working environment is clean. Before holding the baby, make sure your hands are clean to prevent infection.
In addition, family nursing staff should also regularly clean the body of test tube babies to keep them clean. Gently wipe the baby's body with warm water and non irritating detergent. Baby diapers also need to be changed frequently to keep babies clean and dry.
4. Regular inspection
For test tube babies, regular examination is an essential nursing step. These examinations can be carried out in hospitals or by professionals such as doctors.
Regular examinations mainly include the assessment of infant growth and development. The measurement of weight, height and head circumference is very important, which can help judge whether the baby grows normally. In addition, it is also necessary to observe the infant's neural development, hearing, vision and other aspects, and timely identify and deal with potential problems.
During the regular inspection, the family and hospital nursing staff should actively communicate with the doctor to understand the development of the baby, and follow the doctor's advice for corresponding care.
summary
Test tube babies need special care for 11 days, including feeding care, temperature regulation, hygiene care and regular inspection. The diet, temperature, hygiene and development of infants need attention and care. Family and hospital nursing staff should understand and follow the guidance of doctors to give correct care and care to infants.
