Nutrition supplement after successful IVF
Test tube baby is a successful product of medical technology, which enables infertile couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations. After the success of IVF, reasonable nutrition supplement is essential for the growth and development of infants. The following will elaborate on how to supplement nutrition after successful IVF from four aspects: nutrition during pregnancy, postpartum lactation, addition of complementary food and suitable food materials.
1. Nutrition during pregnancy
The embryo of test tube baby develops in the artificially cultivated test tube, and then transfers to the female uterus. Therefore, care and eating habits before, during and after pregnancy need special attention. Nutrition intake during pregnancy is critical to the development of embryos and the health of mothers.
First, pregnant women should ensure adequate protein intake to promote the normal development of embryos. At the same time, the intake of vegetables and fruits should be increased appropriately to provide adequate vitamins and minerals.
Secondly, pregnant women should take enough iron and folic acid. Iron can prevent anemia in women, and folic acid plays an important role in the formation of neural tubes in embryonic brain. Therefore, pregnant women can appropriately increase the intake of iron rich foods such as beef, chicken and duck, and reasonably supplement folic acid under the guidance of doctors.
Finally, pregnant women should avoid the intake of harmful substances such as tobacco, alcohol and caffeine, and try to choose fresh and organic food materials.
2. Postpartum lactation
Mothers of test tube babies are advised to start breastfeeding as soon as possible and adhere to breastfeeding throughout the process. Breast milk is the most suitable nutrition source for the growth and development of newborns, which contains rich protein, fat, vitamins and immune factors.
Most IVF mothers have less trauma and can walk for several hours, which is conducive to skin contact with the baby earlier and early lactation. Early postpartum skin contact and early lactation help to promote the establishment of parent-child relationship between mother and child, and enhance the infant's immunity and digestive ability.
During lactation, the nutritional requirements of mothers also need special attention. New mothers should maintain a balanced diet, appropriately increase the intake of protein and calories, and supplement enough water.
3. Add complementary food
According to the growth and development needs of infants, the introduction of complementary foods gradually is the only way for IVF to grow. Before starting to add complementary foods, parents need to understand the development of the baby's eating ability and digestive ability.
When you start to add complementary food, you should start from thin food. For example, rice noodles, rice paste, vegetable paste, fruit paste, etc., gradually add noodles, minced meat, fish paste, etc. The process of complementary food addition requires patience and strict compliance with the doctor's recommendations to ensure the baby's adaptability, digestion and absorption.
At the same time, after the introduction of complementary foods, it is necessary to gradually expand the diet types of infants to provide comprehensive nutrition. Food ingredients such as cereals, vegetables, fruits, eggs and meat should be properly matched to meet the nutritional needs of infants.
4. Selection of suitable food materials
After the success of IVF, the selection of suitable food materials is crucial for the healthy growth of the baby. Here are some common choices of suitable ingredients:
1. Eggs: rich in high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals, suitable for babies.
2. Vegetables and fruits: provide rich vitamins and minerals, which will help to improve the baby's immunity.
3. Fish: It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help your baby's brain development.
4. Whole grains: provide the carbohydrate and dietary fiber needed by the baby, which is helpful for digestion, growth and development.
In conclusion, the nutrition supplement after the success of IVF is crucial for the healthy growth of the baby. Provide comprehensive and balanced nutrition for babies in terms of nutrition during pregnancy, postpartum lactation, addition of complementary food and suitable ingredients, etc., which will help them grow healthily.
