What kind of daily care should be paid attention to after 15 days of IVF
After the successful birth of IVF babies, their families need to give more care and care. Fifteen days is a critical period for IVF to grow up, which requires special care and attention. The following are some aspects of daily care that should be paid attention to after 15 days of IVF.
feed
Feeding is an aspect of IVF that needs special attention to ensure that the nutritional needs of infants are met. After 15 days, IVF babies still need to be fed frequently. Breastfeeding is the best choice. Breast milk is rich in antibodies and nutrients, which can enhance the immunity of infants. If breastfeeding is not possible, you can choose formula.
During the feeding process, pay attention to the baby's satiation comfort. Babies will generally feel satisfied after eating and stop sucking actively. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the baby's expression and reaction, and confirm whether he is full in time. At the same time, to ensure that the baby burps, you can tap the baby's back after feeding to promote the baby to burp smoothly.
In addition, IVF babies need to have a proper amount of belching and farting after feeding. Because their digestive system is not fully developed, they are prone to flatulence. Burping and farting can help babies expel flatulence and relieve discomfort.
security
In vitro babies need special attention in terms of safety after 15 days. Infants in early childhood have weak awareness of the outside world and are vulnerable to harm. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the infant's surrounding environment and avoid home accidents.
First of all, make sure the baby's sleep is safe. The sleeping environment needs to be kept clean, tidy and quiet. The articles on the baby's bed should be simple, and too many toys and plush toys should be avoided. In addition, ensure that the baby is in a flat position when sleeping, and avoid using pillows to prop up his head.
Secondly, ensure the safety of baby bathing. The bath water temperature should be moderate to avoid overheating or supercooling. Wash half of the body when bathing to avoid exposing the baby to water for a long time. In the process of bathing, the bathing equipment should be prepared in advance to avoid leaving the baby. After bathing, the baby should be wrapped in a towel in time to avoid catching cold.
Finally, avoid giving babies inappropriate toys. The 15 day test tube baby is in a critical period of sensory development. It can give babies some toys that are close to nature and bright in color, which can stimulate their tactile and visual development. But avoid giving babies too small and hard toys to avoid choking or injury.
Sleep and rest
IVF babies need sufficient sleep and rest after 15 days, which is crucial to their growth and development. Babies sleep for a long time, usually between 16-20 hours. Parents should establish good sleep habits to provide a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment for infants.
In order to ensure the sleep quality of infants, some measures can be taken. First of all, we should control the light and noise in the room, and darken the room at night, so that the baby can fall asleep and stay asleep. Secondly, pay attention to the sleeping position of the baby. It is recommended that the baby lie flat or sleep slightly to one side. In addition, baby bassinets or rocking chairs can be used for babies to help them sleep.
After waking up, the baby should also be given enough rest time. After 15 days of IVF, some gentle activities can be properly carried out, such as massage, back slapping, touching, etc., to promote the baby's blood circulation and relax the muscles.
Regular physical examination
Test tube babies need regular physical examination 15 days later to ensure normal growth and development of the baby. Physical examination can be carried out in the local child health center or hospital. The doctor will check the height, weight, head circumference and other indicators of the baby, and observe the neurological and physical development of the baby.
In addition to regular physical examination, parents can also observe the growth of the baby. Under normal circumstances, 15 day IVF babies should have gradually increased weight and height. If the baby is found to grow slowly or has other abnormalities, the doctor should be consulted in a timely manner and further examination should be carried out.
summary
After 15 days, IVF infants need to pay attention to four aspects: feeding, safety, sleep and rest, and regular physical examination. In terms of feeding, special attention should be paid to the diet and sucking status of infants. In terms of safety, it is necessary to ensure that the environment around the baby is safe and harmless. In terms of sleep and rest, it is necessary to provide a suitable sleep environment and develop good sleep habits. Regular physical examination can discover the growth and development problems of infants in time to ensure their healthy growth. The attention and care given by the family to the test tube baby after 15 days will be beneficial to the physical and mental health of the test tube baby.
