Do IVF babies need special care on day 10?
The birth of IVF is a method of assisting pregnancy in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization. Because of the particularity of this fertilization method, IVF babies need some special care after birth. On the 10th day of IVF birth, additional attention and care are needed to ensure their health and development. This article will elaborate on the special care of IVF on the 10th day from four aspects: disease risk, diet care, health and family support.
Risk of illness
In the first few weeks after birth, test tube babies are vulnerable to various diseases because their immune system is not fully developed. On day 10, IVF babies are at particularly high risk. Therefore, parents need to pay special attention to the baby's physical condition, and regularly observe whether the baby has fever, cough, dyspnea and other symptoms. If the baby has abnormal conditions, seek medical advice in time and follow the doctor's treatment recommendations.
In addition, on the 10th day of IVF, parents should also avoid taking babies to crowded public places to reduce the risk of infection. Babies' clothes and bedding also need to be cleaned regularly to keep them clean and prevent bacterial infection.
Dietary care
The diet of IVF is very important for its growth and development. The baby's dietary needs may change on day 10. Parents should add appropriate solid foods, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, etc., to babies according to their development, so as to meet their growing nutritional needs.
In addition, parents need to ensure that the baby's diet is adequate and fed regularly. When feeding, pay attention to whether the baby is saturated or well digested. In case of loss of appetite or indigestion, seek medical advice in time and consult professional nurses or doctors.
good health
The health of IVF babies needs special attention. On day 10, parents need to pay attention to the baby's physical development and growth. They should record the baby's weight, height and other data, and regularly check the baby's physical development curve. If any abnormality is found, consult the doctor in time and take measures according to the doctor's suggestions.
In addition, in order to keep the baby healthy, parents should also pay attention to keeping the baby's indoor environment clean and hygienic, maintain appropriate room temperature and humidity, and regularly bathe and change clothes for the baby.
Family support
After IVF babies are born, family support is crucial to their health and development. On the 10th day of IVF, parents need to give more attention and care to the baby.
Family members can establish parent-child relationship and strengthen parent-child bond through close contact with infants, such as touching, hugging, and making eye contact with them. This will help the baby's emotional development and stability. In addition, in the process of baby care, families should also support each other, communicate and share the responsibility of childcare, so as to create a warm family environment.
Summary
IVF babies need special care on the 10th day after birth. From the four aspects of disease risk, diet care, physical health and family support, parents need to pay attention to the baby's physical condition, diet intake, physical development and emotional development, and provide close contact and family support. This will ensure the healthy and comprehensive development of IVF.
