Follow up care and precautions of test tube babies
Test tube baby refers to the baby that is bred by in vitro fertilization technology in the laboratory, and then transfers the fertilized egg to the mother. This assisted reproductive technology not only brings hope to many couples who cannot conceive naturally, but also requires parents to do a good job of follow-up care after the birth of the baby. The following will introduce the follow-up care and precautions of IVF from the aspects of diet, health, psychology and social interaction.
diet
For IVF babies, a good diet is essential for their health and development. First, breastfeeding is very important for the development of infants. Breast milk is rich in nutrients, which can help strengthen the immune system and digestive function of infants. If breastfeeding is not possible, you can choose the right formula. Secondly, the diet should be balanced, including reasonable intake of protein, carbohydrate and fat. In addition, parents should pay attention to providing enough water for the baby to avoid dehydration.
In addition, the food of IVF should be fresh and hygienic. Parents should ensure that the food is handled and stored in accordance with the hygiene requirements to avoid bacterial infection to the baby. In addition, the diet of test tube babies should be adjusted appropriately according to their age, and complementary foods should be gradually introduced from pure breast milk or formula milk powder, and attention should be paid to the time and manner of eating.
healthy
The health of IVF is also an important aspect that needs parents' attention. First, the growth and development of infants should be monitored and recorded regularly, including height, weight, head circumference and other indicators. A physical examination and regular vaccination should be carried out every month. Secondly, parents should ensure the sleep quality of infants, provide a safe and comfortable sleep environment, and avoid insufficient sleep and excessive fatigue.
In terms of the health of IVF, parents should also pay attention to preventing and controlling the risk of infection of babies. IVF's immune system may be weak and vulnerable to infection. Therefore, parents should avoid letting infants contact patients with diseases, disinfect indoor articles regularly, and take infants to the hospital for routine health examination in time.
psychology
Since IVF babies come to the world in a special way, their mental health also needs the attention of parents. First of all, parents should establish a stable, warm and loving family environment and give full care and companionship to infants. In addition, parents can promote their emotional development and language ability through communication and interaction with infants.
In the process of IVF growth, parents should also pay attention to giving them appropriate independence and cultivating their unique personality. Family members should participate in the growth and education of infants, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and avoid excessive protection and attention.
social contact
The social ability of IVF babies is the basis of their interaction with others and integration into society. Parents should encourage infants to participate in age appropriate parent-child activities, build friendships with other children, and gradually integrate them into the collective life of kindergartens or schools. At the same time, parents should also educate infants to respect others, actively share and cooperate.
To sum up, the follow-up care of IVF babies needs to be done well in terms of diet, health, psychology and social interaction. Good diet and healthy habits are crucial to the development of infants, and good psychological and social skills also lay the foundation for the comprehensive development of infants. I hope these care and precautions can help the parents of IVF.
