How to feed test tube babies in 50 days?
IVF is a kind of baby developed by fertilizing and cultivating embryos in vitro through assisted reproductive technology, and then implanting the embryos into the mother's uterus. After the birth of test tube babies, reasonable feeding is essential for the health and growth of babies. This article will elaborate on the 50 day feeding of IVF from four aspects.
The Importance of Breastfeeding
Breast milk is the most ideal food for test tube babies. It is rich in a variety of nutrients, which can provide the nutrients needed by infants and enhance their immunity. Mothers of test tube babies should try their best to breastfeed, feeding 6-8 times a day for 15-20 minutes each time. Breastfeeding also helps build emotional bonds between mother and baby. If the mother's milk is insufficient or unable to feed, she can choose to use infant formula, but she needs to follow the doctor's advice.
During the feeding process, mothers should pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits. Wash your hands before and after each feeding, keep your breasts clean, and replace the bra pad regularly. If the mother feels her breasts are swollen, she can use hot compress or massage to relieve her discomfort.
Reasonably add complementary foods
When the test tube baby is 4-6 months old, an appropriate amount of complementary food can meet its growth and development needs. The addition of complementary food should gradually increase its consistency, from single taste to diversification. At the initial stage, test tube babies can be fed rice noodles, porridge, etc., and then gradually introduced fruit puree, vegetable puree and other foods.
When adding complementary food, mother should pay attention to the freshness and hygiene of food. Process food by boiling or steaming, and avoid adding condiments and sugar. Mothers should also pay attention to the reaction of IVF to new food. If allergic symptoms or indigestion occur, they should stop feeding in time and consult a doctor.
Correct posture during feeding
The posture of IVF feeding is very important for baby's health and comfort. Mothers can choose to use horizontal feeding pillows or baby feeding pillows to provide appropriate support. Gently lift the baby's head and body so that it faces the mother's breast, ensuring that the tongue protrudes naturally and the chin fits closely with the chest. The mother can also promote the belching of the baby by gently patting his back to avoid stomach discomfort caused by swallowing wind.
During the feeding process, the mother should be careful and patient to observe the baby's satiety signal. If the baby stops sucking, turns his head or sucks his fingers, he may be full. Test tube babies should not be overfeeded, and the amount of feeding should be controlled according to the needs of the baby.
Summary
The following aspects should be paid attention to during the 50 day feeding of test tube infants: adhere to breast feeding or use formula milk powder; Add complementary food timely, and pay attention to food selection and processing methods; Ensure the correct posture when feeding, and pay attention to the baby's satiety signal. Through reasonable feeding, IVF can obtain sufficient nutrition and grow healthily.
