How to regulate the relationship between mother and baby after IVF?
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology. For some couples who cannot conceive naturally, it is a way to realize their dream of life. However, the arrival of IVF may have a certain impact on the mother infant relationship. In order to establish a stable and healthy relationship between mother and child, couples need a series of conditioning and care. The following will elaborate on psychological support, establishing parent-child ties, healthy lifestyle and professional consultation.
psychological support
The IVF process is a journey full of anxiety and uncertainty. For women, the inability to conceive after many attempts will bring them pressure and frustration, while for men, the inability to participate in the process of natural pregnancy will also cause loss. Therefore, couples need to understand, encourage and support each other in the whole IVF process. It can relieve anxiety and pressure and strengthen the emotional bond between husband and wife by means of emotional exchange, participation in psychological consultation, regular communication with doctors, etc.
In the process of IVF, women need to experience more physiological examinations, hormone therapy and surgery, and may feel physically and mentally exhausted. Couples can work out relaxed and happy activity plans, such as walking, watching movies, listening to music, etc., to alleviate fatigue and anxiety.
In addition, couples can also take an active part in the baby's gestation process, such as choosing the baby's name together, preparing a warm care environment for the baby, etc., to enhance the sense of belonging and responsibility between couples.
Establish parent-child ties
The birth mode of IVF may be different from that of natural pregnancy, but this does not affect the establishment of parent-child relationship between the couple and the baby. The key to establishing parent-child ties is emotional communication between parents and attention to the needs of infants. Couples can improve their understanding and intimacy with babies by observing their expressions, responding to their needs, and establishing good physical contact.
In addition, couples can also enhance emotional communication with their babies by playing parent-child interactive games with them, such as rumors, gently shaking, talking, kissing, etc. This can not only promote the development of infants, but also enhance the fetters between parents and infants.
With the growth of the baby, parents can give the baby proper space for independent exploration, such as crawling, standing and walking independently in a safe environment, so as to promote the growth and development of independence of the baby.
Healthy lifestyle
After IVF, couples need to jointly maintain a healthy lifestyle to provide a healthy parenting environment. First of all, couples should maintain good eating habits and take in sufficient protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to meet the body's needs for maternal and infant development. Secondly, couples should keep good sleep to improve their body's resistance and regulate their emotions. In addition, proper exercise and relaxation activities are also beneficial to the physical and mental health of couples.
After the baby is born, couples also need to pay attention to the baby's diet and sleep. According to the doctor's suggestions, the feeding time and frequency of infants should be reasonably arranged to provide nutritionally balanced food. At the same time, it provides a quiet, warm and clean sleeping environment for infants and cultivates good sleeping habits.
Professional consultation
The IVF process may cause a variety of questions and confusion for couples. At this time, they can seek professional advice. Professional doctors can answer the couple's doubts and give appropriate advice. In addition, couples can also participate in training courses on infant rearing and learn relevant parenting knowledge and skills to take better care of infants.
Through psychological support, parent-child bond, healthy lifestyle and professional consultation, couples can establish a stable and healthy mother baby relationship. In addition, in the process of facing difficulties and challenges together, strengthening communication and understanding between husband and wife is also an important part of regulating the mother infant relationship. The birth of test tube baby is the result of the joint efforts and love of the couple, and the stable mother baby relationship will provide a solid foundation for the healthy growth of the baby.
