Rest mode of IVF
IVF refers to the babies whose pregnancy is assisted by IVF technology. Because the development environment of their embryos is different from that of naturally conceived babies, IVF babies need special rest to promote their healthy growth. The rest mode of IVF will be described in detail in the following four aspects: nutrition intake, regular work and rest, comfortable environment and accompanying relatives.
Nutrition intake
The nutrition intake of IVF is crucial to its physical development. Parents should reasonably arrange the diet of IVF according to the doctor's suggestions. Breast milk is the best food choice before birth and in the early post birth period, because it is rich in various necessary nutrients and can provide immune protection. For test tube infants who cannot feed breast milk, formula can be used for feeding, formula suitable for the specific needs of test tube infants can be selected, and feeding should be carried out according to the doctor's recommendations and instructions.
In addition to timely and adequate feeding, the diet of IVF should also be decentralized and balanced. Parents can consult doctors or pediatric nutritionists to understand the dietary needs of relatively mature infants, and make appropriate adjustments according to the age and health status of test tube infants. In addition, in order to promote the digestion and absorption of test tube babies, parents should also adopt correct feeding posture and methods to avoid discomfort during lactation.
Regular work and rest
Regular work and rest is the key to the healthy growth of IVF. IVF babies are naturally prone to sleep disorders, and parents can improve this problem by cultivating good sleep habits. Regular work and rest and fixed bedtime preparation activities are very important for cultivating the circadian rhythm of IVF infants. Parents can perform some gentle activities before IVF goes to bed, such as soaking feet in warm water or massage, to help relax the physical and mental state of IVF.
For the IVF sleeping environment, parents should also pay attention to providing a quiet, warm and comfortable bed. IVF babies are usually sensitive to light and noise, so appropriate curtains and shading facilities should be selected to keep the room quiet and pleasant temperature. At the same time, parents can also use comforting toys, baby cradles and other auxiliary tools to help IVF establish good sleep habits.
Comfortable environment
Providing a comfortable environment is very important for IVF babies to rest. IVF babies may need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time after birth, so the hospital environment and nursing conditions are particularly important. Some well-known IVF hospitals, such as Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and Shanghai Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, provide special IVF wards to ensure high-quality rest environment and professional nursing of medical staff.
At home, parents can create a safe and clean environment for IVF babies to avoid dust and excessive stimulation. In addition, the skin of test tube babies is sensitive, so parents should choose clothes and bedding suitable for the baby's skin to avoid using too many chemicals. Maintaining proper indoor air circulation and humidity also has an important impact on the rest of IVF infants.
Accompany relatives
After IVF babies are born, the companionship of their relatives has a positive impact on their emotional and physical health. Parents should try their best to make more contact with IVF babies in the process of accompanying them, and make eye contact, voice interaction and daily touch with them, so as to promote the establishment of family affection and emotional communication. This is very important for the emotional stability and healthy development of IVF.
In addition, parents can invite relatives and friends to visit and accompany IVF. On the premise of ensuring the safety of IVF, letting relatives and friends participate in the care and company of IVF will also play a positive role in promoting the social ability and emotional development of IVF.
Summary
The rest mode of IVF is very important for its healthy growth. By ensuring the nutrition intake, regular work and rest, comfortable environment and accompanying relatives of IVF babies, it can provide a good rest environment for IVF babies and promote their physical and mental health.
