How to avoid infection in 40 day IVF
Test tube babies are babies born through artificial assisted reproduction technology. Because they are bred and grow outside the mother's body, their body resistance is relatively weak and they are prone to infection. Therefore, to ensure the health and safety of IVF, some preventive measures must be taken to avoid infection.
Keep a clean environment
The living environment of IVF must be kept clean. First of all, family members and visitors should wash their hands before entering the baby's area, and frequently clean and disinfect the baby's contact surfaces, such as beds, toys, etc. Secondly, the dust in the household air should be cleaned regularly to avoid the infection of bacteria and viruses in the dust to infants. In addition, baby clothes and bedding should be washed and replaced frequently to ensure hygiene.
In hospitals, it is very important to choose a formal IVF birth center. Some recognized medical institutions, such as Beijing Antai Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University, have modern facilities and strict health standards. These hospitals often carry out disinfection and cleaning work to ensure the safety of infants.
Control visitors
IVF is the most vulnerable period in the first few months, so visitors must be strictly controlled. For relatives and friends suffering from infectious diseases, they should be informed in advance that they are not allowed to visit, so as to avoid the transmission of infectious diseases to infants. Even healthy visitors should be asked to wash their hands and avoid close contact with infants.
In terms of hospital control, professional IVF birth centers will take strict measures to restrict visitors. Each visitor needs to go through temperature detection and disinfection procedures and wear corresponding protective equipment. These measures help to reduce the entry of potential pathogens into the hospital environment and protect infants from infection.
Rational feeding
The infant's immune system is still in the development stage within a few months after birth, and breast milk is the best food choice. Breast milk contains a large number of antibodies, which can help infants resist the invasion of bacteria. Therefore, test tube babies should take breast milk as soon as possible and keep adequate feeding.
At the same time, parents should pay attention to their eating habits. Healthy diet can improve the function of maternal immune system, thus reducing the risk of maternal infection. Parents can increase their intake of fresh vegetables, fruits and protein rich foods, while reducing their intake of processed foods and foods with too much sugar.
Establish good hygiene habits
Parents and personnel caring for IVF should form good hygiene habits. This includes: washing hands with soap and hot water, especially before and after touching babies; Avoid contact with people suffering from infectious diseases; Baby products should be washed and disinfected frequently; When the baby has symptoms such as cough, sneeze or fever, wear a mask and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
To sum up, IVF babies are very vulnerable to infection in the first 40 days, so measures must be taken to ensure their health and safety. Maintaining a clean environment, controlling visitors, feeding reasonably, and establishing good health habits are all key to preventing infection. Parents and medical staff should work closely together to protect the healthy growth of IVF.
