The Relationship between Breastfeeding of IVF and Maternal Health
IVF is a method of assisted reproduction through IVF technology, which is a blessing for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, after the birth of IVF babies, mothers should give them special attention and care. One of the key aspects is the breast-feeding of IVF, which has an important impact on maternal health. This article will discuss the relationship between IVF breastfeeding and maternal health from many aspects.
1. Mental health
The pregnancy and birth of IVF usually go through a long and arduous process. Mother may have experienced many unsuccessful attempts and emotional pressure. However, once a test tube baby is born, breastfeeding can become a way for mothers to establish a deep relationship with their children. Breastfeeding can promote mothers to produce endogenous hormones, such as oxytocin and prolactin, which can help relieve stress, improve mood and enhance mothers' happiness.
In addition, lactation can also promote mothers to produce oxytocin, which is a hormone closely related to parent-child relationship and emotional connection. Oxygenated plasma can improve the satisfaction and love feelings of mothers, help reduce anxiety and depression, and improve the mental health of mothers.
2. Good health
The relationship between IVF breastfeeding and maternal health is also reflected in physical health. Breast milk is a kind of natural food, which is rich in nutrients, such as protein, fat, carbohydrates and various vitamins and minerals. Breastfeeding can provide all the nutrients needed by babies and help them grow healthily.
In addition, breastfeeding can also help mothers to recover their health. During pregnancy and childbirth, the mother's body experiences a series of changes and burdens. Through the process of lactation, the mother's uterus can contract and recover faster, reducing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. At the same time, breastfeeding can help mothers burn extra calories, promote body recovery and lose weight.
3. Immune system
In vitro feeding also has a positive impact on the health of the maternal immune system. Breast milk is rich in antibodies and immune cells, which can strengthen the baby's immune system and prevent infection and disease. At the same time, breast-feeding can also transmit the mother's immune memory to the baby through the immune cells in the milk, helping them build a stronger immune system.
In addition, breastfeeding is also beneficial to the mother's immune system. Breastfeeding can help mothers recover the normal state of postpartum endometrium and reduce the risk of infection and inflammation. At the same time, through breastfeeding, the mother's breast can better discharge milk, reducing the occurrence of mastitis and other problems.
4. Baby development
Breastfeeding in vitro babies has an important impact on the development of babies. Breast milk is rich in brain nutrients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, choline and taurine, which play a key role in the brain development of babies. At the same time, breastfeeding can also promote the development of the baby's oral and maxillofacial muscles, and help the baby's ability to suck and chew.
In addition, breastfeeding can also improve the baby's immunity and prevent the occurrence of intestinal infection and respiratory infection. In addition, probiotics in breast milk can help balance the intestinal flora of the baby, and promote the healthy development of digestion and absorption.
In general, there is a close relationship between IVF breastfeeding and maternal health. Breastfeeding can promote the mother's mental health, physical health and immune system health, and also has an important impact on the baby's development and immunity. Therefore, it is suggested that the mother of IVF should actively participate in breastfeeding and obtain relevant support and guidance to ensure the healthy development of mother and baby.
