Test tube baby 12 days: how to promote development?
IVF is a kind of baby cultivated in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization technology. It is very important to promote the development of newborn IVF babies. In this article, we will discuss how to help IVF babies develop healthily in the first 12 days after birth from several aspects.
Good nutrition intake
In the first 12 days after birth, good nutrition intake is essential for the development of the body and brain of test tube babies. Breastfeeding is the best way to feed because breast milk provides rich antibodies and nutrients. Mothers should maintain a balanced diet during feeding and ensure that they eat enough water.
If breastfeeding is not feasible, age appropriate formula can be selected for feeding. When selecting milk powder, we should choose the milk powder brand suitable for test tube babies according to the doctor's advice, and correctly prepare and feed according to the instructions.
In addition, complementary foods can be added to the baby's diet in an appropriate amount. After 12 days, infants can start to try simple complementary foods such as rice soup and fruit puree, but the principle of gradual introduction should be followed to ensure that infants adapt to new foods.
Provide a comfortable environment
IVF infants are particularly sensitive to the comfortable environment in the first 12 days. The first day after the birth of IVF babies should be as quiet and peaceful as possible to avoid too much noise and stimulation. In addition, test tube babies have a weak ability to adapt to temperature, so it is necessary to maintain an appropriate temperature in the room to avoid the baby getting cold.
Lay a soft mattress on the IVF bed to give the baby enough support and comfort. At the same time, clean the baby's bed and change bedding regularly to keep the environment clean and sanitary.
Early parent-child interaction
In the first 12 days after birth, the establishment of parent-child relationship and healthy parent-child interaction are very important for their social and emotional development. Parents should actively participate in the nursing work of the baby, such as giving the baby gentle touch, conducting soft voice interaction, etc. This kind of close contact helps babies feel the love and security of their parents.
In addition, parents can try to make eye contact and facial expression interaction with infants, which will help promote infants' cognitive and language development. At the same time, early education can be carried out with infants through singing, story telling and other ways to stimulate their interest and curiosity.
Regular paediatric examination
In the first 12 days after IVF birth, regular paediatric examinations are essential to identify and prevent potential health problems. Parents should take the baby to the hospital for the first physical examination as soon as possible after the birth of the baby, and carry out follow-up regular examinations according to the doctor's recommendations.
The pediatrician will evaluate the growth and development of the baby and provide corresponding suggestions and guidance. If any abnormality is found, such as abnormal weight gain of the baby or other health problems, it is very important to communicate with the doctor and deal with it in a timely manner.
Summary
In the first 12 days after birth, good nutrition intake, comfortable environment, early parent-child interaction and regular pediatric examination are the key factors to promote the development of IVF. Parents should pay attention to these aspects and provide comprehensive support and care for the healthy growth of IVF.
