The importance of IVF after birth
IVF babies are obtained through assisted reproductive technology, so after their birth, they need to pay special attention to their healthy growth. The following details the importance of IVF from four aspects: feeding, sleep, physical care and mental health.
1. Feeding
Feeding is very important for the healthy growth of IVF. After the birth of a test tube baby, breast feeding is the best choice, because breast milk can provide the nutrients needed by the baby and enhance its immunity. If breastfeeding is not possible, you can choose formula. The frequency and amount of feeding should be adjusted according to the baby's needs, neither overfeeding nor making the baby too hungry. In addition, make sure your baby swallows correctly, avoid breathing in air, and burp regularly.
At the same time, when feeding, make sure that the baby is comfortable and avoid overheating or overheating. During the feeding process, keep close contact with the baby, which helps to enhance the emotional connection between the baby and parents.
2. Sleep
Good sleep is essential for the growth and development of IVF. IVF babies have experienced many stimuli in a short period of time, so they need sufficient rest to restore their physical strength and energy. IVF babies sleep longer than adults, with an average of 16-20 hours of sleep per day.
In order to ensure the safety and comfort of the baby, it is necessary to take necessary safety measures when the baby sleeps, such as using a safe crib and bedding on the bed, to avoid sleeping backward to reduce the risk of sudden bursts. In addition, keep your baby quiet and warm before going to bed and in the sleeping environment, which will help your baby fall asleep.
3. Body care
Body care for IVF babies includes not only daily cleaning and diaper changing, but also special care for skin and eyes. The skin of a newborn is very delicate. It needs to be cleaned with warm water and soap without spices and irritation. Avoid using too many chemicals or skin care products. For test tube babies, more attention should be paid to the control of bath water temperature to avoid discomfort caused by overheating or supercooling.
At the same time, attention should be paid to the eye care of test tube babies. In vitro babies may have eye problems, such as conjunctivitis and conjunctivitis, due to factors such as drugs and surgery received before birth. Therefore, the baby's eyes should be checked regularly and necessary care should be taken.
4. Mental health
The mental health of IVF also needs attention. IVF babies may face psychological pressure and confusion related to the way of reproduction. Therefore, parents should give full care and attention to IVF and establish a stable parent-child relationship to promote the baby's sense of security and emotional development.
In addition, communication with other children of the same age can also have a positive impact on the mental health of IVF. You can take part in some parent-child activities or let your baby meet other children born in the same way to help your baby establish social relations and develop his positive attitude and self-confidence.
summary
The healthy growth of IVF babies requires comprehensive attention and care, including feeding, sleeping, physical care and mental health. Only by ensuring that IVF babies receive proper attention and care in all aspects can they grow up healthily and usher in a bright future.
