Is the one month sleep time of IVF normal?
IVF babies are conceived through in vitro fertilization technology, and their growth and development need attention and care. Sleep is an important part of infant growth. For one month old IVF infants, whether the sleep time is normal or not directly affects their health and development. This article will introduce whether the one month sleep time of test tube babies is normal from several aspects.
More sleep at first
In the first month after birth, IVF babies sleep more. At this stage, they will spend most of their time sleeping. According to medical research, one month old infants sleep about 14-18 hours a day, divided into multiple sleep, each sleep lasts 1-4 hours. This is because in the first month after birth, IVF babies need to adapt to the new environment, their digestive system is not mature enough, and they need more rest to recover their strength.
In addition, IVF babies experienced REM sleep and non REM sleep during sleep. REM sleep is a kind of deep sleep, which helps the development and growth of brain and nervous system. While non REM sleep is shallow sleep, which can help infants digest food and repair body tissues. The cycle of these sleep stages will be repeated continuously, ensuring the sleep demand of IVF.
Establish regular work and rest
In about a month, IVF babies began to gradually establish their own regular routine. The sleeping time of infants gradually concentrates on the night, and the sleeping time in the daytime is relatively reduced. This is also the beginning of a sleep cycle similar to that of adults.
The ways that parents can help IVF babies establish a regular routine include feeding regularly and changing diapers, providing a comfortable sleeping environment, and avoiding excessive stimulation and noise. Through these methods, IVF babies will be able to gradually establish a regular habit of sleeping longer at night and shorter during the day.
Observe the baby's behavior and performance
Like normal babies, IVF babies should sleep quietly and comfortably when they are one month old. They should sleep regularly and continuously, with less sleep time but higher quality. If IVF babies have abnormal behaviors such as frequent crying, sleep interruption, inability to fall asleep or frequent waking up when they are one month old, parents should timely observe, record and consult with doctors.
Some IVF babies may have sleep disorders, such as excessive awakening at night, waking up at night, etc. At this time, parents should pay attention to the baby's behavior, try to create a sleep environment suitable for the baby, and communicate with doctors to understand the solution of the problem, which can help IVF obtain better sleep quality.
Summary
Test tube babies sleep more in a month, and gradually establish a regular routine as time goes by. Parents should pay attention to the sleep behavior and performance of IVF babies and consult doctors to solve problems in a timely manner. To ensure that IVF babies have a good sleep is conducive to their growth and development. However, it should be noted that each baby's sleep needs and habits may be different, and parents should reasonably adjust and help to establish a suitable work and rest habit according to the baby's individual situation.
