IVF Recipe
IVF is a miracle realized by artificial assisted reproduction technology. However, in pregnancy and infancy, their dietary needs may be slightly different from those of naturally conceived infants. In order to ensure the healthy growth of IVF, it is very important to develop a reasonable IVF diet.
Contents of IVF diet
The IVF diet includes the following aspects:
1. Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is very important for the healthy growth of IVF. Breast milk is rich in nutrients and antibodies, which can provide sufficient protein, fat and carbohydrates, and enhance the immune system of infants. Mothers of test tube babies should try to adhere to breastfeeding and feed as needed on the premise of ensuring the quality of breast milk.
2. Supplement
When test tube babies grow up gradually, and breast milk or formula milk can no longer meet their nutritional needs, complementary foods need to be gradually introduced. The addition of complementary foods should start from about 6 months, and the type and quantity of complementary foods should be gradually increased. At the beginning, you can choose foods that are easy to digest, such as rice noodles and paste food, and then gradually introduce muddy foods such as vegetables, fruits and meat. When adding complementary food, pay attention to observe the reaction of test tube babies, and avoid excessively stimulating or greasy food.
3. Protein intake
The protein intake of IVF is very important for its body development and organ function development. Protein mainly comes from meat, fish, poultry, eggs and beans in breast milk or formula milk and complementary foods. In the IVF diet, it should be ensured that each meal contains an appropriate amount of protein. In general, 10-15g protein should be provided for each meal, which can be adjusted according to the age and development of the baby.
4. Vitamins and minerals
Test tube babies need to take various vitamins and minerals to promote normal function of the body. In the diet, it should be ensured to provide sufficient key nutrients such as vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin C. Vitamin D intake can be met through breast feeding and sunbathing, calcium can be obtained through milk and other foods with high calcium content, iron and zinc can be met by adding foods containing iron and zinc, such as meat, fish, beans, etc., and vitamin C can be obtained through the intake of fruits and vegetables.
Formulation of IVF diet
The age, development and nutritional requirements of infants should be fully considered when formulating the IVF diet. Here are some suggestions for developing a IVF diet:
1. Consult a professional doctor or nutritionist for advice
Every IVF baby is unique, so it is best to consult a professional doctor or nutritionist before formulating a recipe. They can formulate appropriate diet according to the specific conditions of the baby, including birth weight, growth curve, family heredity and other factors.
2. Gradually introduce complementary foods
The digestive system of test tube infants may be relatively weak, so it is necessary to gradually introduce complementary foods and gradually increase the types and quantities of complementary foods. This can help infants adapt to new foods and reduce the incidence of discomfort.
3. Pay attention to balanced diet
The IVF diet should include a variety of foods and be as balanced as possible. In addition to providing adequate protein, vitamins and minerals, it is also necessary to ensure that adequate amounts of fat and carbohydrates are provided to meet the needs of infants' physical development.
4. Focus on food quality and hygiene
The food quality and hygiene of IVF is very important. Breast milk or formula milk should be of reputable brand, and the choice of complementary food should give priority to fresh, natural ingredients without additives. At the same time, when preparing and storing food, keep it clean to avoid the risk of cross infection and food poisoning.
