Test tube baby 12 days: how to check the development? How to care?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of embryo that is grown in the laboratory and implanted into the mother's body. For these special newborns, their development needs careful monitoring and care. In the 12 days after the birth of test tube babies, the following are detailed from several aspects.
1. Development inspection
Within 12 days after birth, doctors will conduct a series of physical examinations to check the development of test tube babies. These physical examinations usually include the following aspects:
First, doctors will evaluate the growth of IVF babies by observing their physical characteristics. They will measure the length, weight and head circumference of the baby and compare them with the standard of normal development.
Secondly, the doctor will also check the movement and posture of the IVF. They will observe whether the baby's hand and foot movements are normal, whether he can raise his head independently, and whether he has abnormal posture.
In addition, the doctor will check the baby's heartbeat and breathing through a stethoscope. They will pay attention to whether there is abnormal heart rate or breathing sound, and observe the baby's skin color and breathing frequency.
Finally, doctors will also carry out some laboratory tests, such as taking baby blood samples to assess whether their blood components are normal.
Through these examinations, doctors can fully understand the development of IVF and take necessary treatment and nursing measures in time.
2. Nursing of development
IVF babies need special development care within 12 days after birth. Here are some suggestions:
First, provide nutritious breast milk or formula milk. Breast milk is rich in nutrients, which can help infants grow and develop. If breast milk is insufficient or unavailable, you can choose a formula suitable for the baby's age.
Secondly, keep the baby comfortable and clean. Make sure the baby's clothes are soft and comfortable, and keep the appropriate room temperature. Bathe and clean the baby's skin every day, and pay attention to keeping the anal area clean to prevent diaper rash.
In addition, the establishment of stable work and rest time and environment is also very important for the development of infants. Try to maintain the daily routine of infants, provide a quiet and warm environment, and help them get good rest and sleep.
Finally, the care of infant development also includes regular physical examination and vaccination. Take the baby to the hospital or clinic for physical examination regularly to ensure its good development and health condition. At the same time, according to the doctor's advice, vaccinate all kinds of vaccines on time to protect infants from various possible diseases.
3. Impact of family environment
The development of IVF is not only affected by medical treatment and nursing, but also the family environment plays an important role.
First, establish a healthy family parent-child relationship. The parent-child relationship is crucial to the emotional development and cognitive ability of infants. Parents should establish close ties with their babies and provide a safe, warm and stable family environment.
Secondly, provide rich activities to stimulate and promote the development of infants. Infants like to observe and explore the surrounding environment, and rich activities such as singing, story telling, toys and games can promote the development of their perception, language and motor abilities.
Finally, avoid the risk of environmental pollution and infection. The infant's immune system is not fully developed and is vulnerable to bacterial and viral infections. Parents should keep the home environment clean and hygienic, and avoid contact with tobacco smoke, chemicals and other harmful substances.
4. Summary
In the 12 days after the birth of a test tube baby, the examination to determine its development is indispensable. The doctor comprehensively evaluates the development of the baby through physical examination, observation and laboratory examination. At the same time, infant care is also very critical, including providing nutrition, keeping comfortable and clean, and establishing stable work and rest time. In addition, the family environment also has an important impact on the development of IVF. It is necessary to establish a healthy parent-child relationship, provide stimulation and avoid the risk of infection. Through the above care and care, IVF can grow healthily.
