Care required for test tube babies on the eighth day
The birth of IVF has brought a lot of joy. However, after becoming parents, we need to know how to take care of this baby correctly. In the eighth day of IVF, nursing is particularly important. For the special needs of test tube babies on the eighth day, the following are four aspects of nursing suggestions.
1. Diet and feeding
The diet and feeding of IVF infants on the eighth day are crucial to their growth and development. First, in order to ensure the nutritional needs of infants, breastfeeding is the best choice. Mothers should be given enough time and opportunities to breastfeed and establish a breast milk supply. At the same time, if the breast milk is insufficient or cannot be breastfed for other reasons, appropriate formula can be selected for feeding.
Secondly, infants may also need dehydration monitoring on the eighth day. Dehydration monitoring can be evaluated by observing urine volume, skin elasticity and spherical degree of eyeball. If the baby is found to be dehydrated, report to the doctor in time and seek further guidance.
Finally, IVF babies may begin to contact solid food on the eighth day. According to the doctor's advice and guidance, parents can gradually introduce complementary foods such as rice noodles and fruit paste. When introducing solid food, attention should be paid to selecting fresh and healthy ingredients, and gradually increase the variety and texture of food.
2. Daily hygiene
The health habits of IVF are essential to prevent disease and promote health. On the eighth day, special attention should be paid to the following aspects:
First, the baby's room should be kept clean and ventilated. Carry out simple ventilation every day to keep the air fresh. Secondly, the baby's bed and bedding should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Try to choose soft and comfortable bedding to avoid heavy or irritating baby materials. In addition, baby's clothes and diapers should also be kept dry and clean.
In addition, the personal hygiene of infants also needs attention. Take a bath for the baby every day, choose warm water and detergent suitable for the baby's skin. At the same time, trim your baby's nails regularly and keep your fingers dry. The baby's ears, nostrils and eyes also need to be cleaned regularly, but pay attention to the use of cleaning supplies suitable for babies.
3. Sleep and safety
The sleep of IVF babies is very important for their growth and development. On the eighth day, ensure that the baby gets enough sleep and rest time. Develop good sleep habits, such as holding the baby properly and burping after breastfeeding, and placing it in a safe and comfortable sleeping environment.
At the same time, the safety of infants also needs attention. On the eighth day, you can purchase a safety seat or cradle suitable for babies to place them safely. Avoid the baby falling from a high place, and ensure that there are no sharp objects and dangerous goods around the baby. In addition, infants also need regular temperature monitoring to avoid getting cold or overheating.
4. Development assessment and precautions for going out
Although IVF babies are still very small on the eighth day after birth, their development progress also needs attention and evaluation. Take infants to professional hospitals or doctors for development assessment regularly to ensure normal growth of infants.
It is also important to pay attention to some safety precautions when going out. First of all, infants need to maintain proper body temperature and try to avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Secondly, the baby should be placed in a safe and comfortable stroller or baby strap to prevent accidental injury. Finally, avoid taking babies to crowded places to reduce the risk of infection.
To sum up, the eighth day of IVF needs more care. It includes reasonable diet and feeding, daily hygiene, sleep and safety, as well as development assessment and precautions for going out. Through proper nursing, we can better protect and promote the healthy growth of IVF.
