Dietary Precautions for Test Tube Infants for 40 Days
IVF refers to the embryo that is cultivated and developed in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization (assisted reproductive technology), and then transferred to the mother's womb for development, and finally born. For 40 day old IVF babies, proper diet and nutrition are very important to promote their growth and development. In the following four aspects, we will elaborate on the diet precautions of test tube infants for 40 days.
The Importance of Breastfeeding
Breast milk is the most ideal diet for IVF infants. Breast milk is rich in nutrients, which can help build the baby's immune system. When breast-feeding is carried out, the mother should maintain a good diet, which should be balanced and contain enough protein, fat and carbohydrates. In addition, the mother should also maintain adequate water intake to maintain good milk secretion.
If the mother cannot provide enough breast milk or chooses not to breast feed, she can choose formula feeding. When choosing milk powder, doctors or hospital professionals should be asked to choose products suitable for the baby's age and needs.
When and how to introduce food
At 40 days of IVF, complementary foods can generally be introduced gradually. However, the time and manner of introducing complementary foods need to be cautious. First of all, when introducing complementary foods, doctors should be consulted to find out whether the baby's gastrointestinal function is mature and can digest and absorb complementary foods.
The introduction of complementary food should start with a single food and gradually introduce new food. Common complementary foods include rice noodles, fruit puree, vegetable puree, etc. In order to ensure that the baby eats healthily, the complementary food should be fresh, without additives, and should be slightly stimulating and easy to digest.
At the same time, the feeding method of complementary food is also very important. When feeding, avoid forced chewing, and feed directly with spoon or finger. Your baby needs to stay seated to avoid swallowing or coughing.
Pay attention to prevent allergy
After 40 days of IVF, the immune system of IVF is still incomplete and susceptible to allergy. In order to prevent allergy, parents need to pay attention to the baby's food allergy, such as eggs, milk, fish, nuts, etc. When introducing new food, you should try a small amount first to observe whether the baby has allergic reactions, such as vomiting, rash, dyspnea, etc. If there are allergic reactions, you should stop feeding immediately and consult a doctor in time.
In addition, parents should keep clean. Tableware and feeding bottles should be disinfected and cleaned regularly to avoid bacteria breeding. Babies' articles and clothes should be washed and changed frequently to keep them clean.
Nutrition supplement and regular physical examination
At 40 days, test tube babies have a high demand for nutrition, so they need to be properly supplemented with vitamins and minerals. When replenishing nutrients, it is best to consult a doctor or professional for advice to ensure that the type and amount of nutrients your baby takes in are appropriate.
In addition, regular physical examination is also very important. The growth and development of the baby should be tracked and recorded regularly, so that problems can be found in time and necessary adjustment measures can be taken.
To sum up, the dietary precautions for test tube infants for 40 days include the importance of breastfeeding, the time and manner of food introduction, attention to allergy prevention, nutrition supplementation and regular physical examination. Correct diet and nutrition intake can promote the healthy growth of IVF.
