How to take care of and feed test tube babies on the seventh day
The birth of IVF is a great scientific and technological achievement. However, good care and feeding are very important for IVF babies who have just been born. Under the guidance of medical staff, parents need to understand the special needs of IVF to ensure that they receive the best care. The following is a guide for the care and feeding of IVF babies on the seventh day.
Maintain appropriate environment and temperature
Test tube babies grow in the laboratory during pregnancy, so their adaptability to the external environment is weak. When caring for IVF babies at home, parents need to ensure a comfortable and warm environment. The temperature of the room should be kept at 25-27 ℃, and direct sunlight should be avoided. In order to ensure that IVF babies will not feel lonely, some soft toys or bedding can also be placed on their beds.
When IVF babies are born on the seventh day, the hospital will provide professional nursing staff to ensure their health and safety. These caregivers will provide the children with the required temperature and environment based on their needs. When IVF is discharged from hospital, parents will receive detailed guidance, including understanding the appropriate temperature range and environmental management.
Proper feeding
IVF babies will have special needs during the feeding process on the seventh day. They may need to be fed in a different way than naturally born babies. First, parents need to understand the importance of breastfeeding. Breast milk is vital to the health of newborns, providing rich nutrients and enhancing immunity. If breastfeeding is not feasible, doctors will recommend appropriate formula to ensure that the nutritional needs of test tube babies are met.
On the seventh day, IVF babies usually need to eat 8-12 times a day, and the interval between each feeding is about 2-3 hours. Parents should ensure that they wash their hands and use clean bottles and nipples before each feeding. When feeding, IVF babies should keep comfortable and pay attention to their swallowing reaction. In case of any problem during feeding, parents should consult doctors or professional nurses in a timely manner.
Observation and communication
After the birth of test tube baby, parents should keep close observation and keep good communication with doctors and professional nurses. The observation included the observation of the body temperature, body weight, urination and stool frequency and other physiological indicators of the test tube baby. Parents should regularly measure the temperature of IVF and record it for doctors' reference.
In addition, parents should also pay attention to the behavior and performance of IVF. Under normal circumstances, IVF should show sucking reaction when hungry, comfort and quiet when sleeping. If IVF babies cry too much, vomit or defecate abnormally during feeding, parents should contact the doctor immediately for further guidance.
Promote early development
IVF infants need good early development promotion on the seventh day. Parents can help IVF development by providing appropriate stimulation and intimate contact. This includes gentle physical contact, touching and dialogue with IVF babies, as well as giving them enough comfort and security.
Family environment is also critical for the early development of IVF. A stable family environment and the companionship of relatives can help IVF to establish a sense of security and trust, thus promoting their early development.
Summary
On the seventh day of IVF, proper care and feeding are essential. Parents should pay attention to providing suitable environment and temperature, feeding children correctly, and observing and communicating. In addition, the promotion of early development is also crucial. By following the advice of doctors and professional nurses, parents can ensure that IVF babies receive the best care and promote their health and development.
