Test tube baby for 12 days: daily precautions
The birth of IVF has brought hope and joy to many infertile couples. As parents of newborn babies, we need to pay special attention to the care and health of infants. In the 12 day test tube baby stage, the following is an overview of some daily precautions and maintenance methods.
Feeding and lactation
At 12 days of IVF, infants are usually still in the stage of breast milk or formula feeding. It is vital to pay attention to the feeding time and feeding needs of infants. Generally, infants need to eat 8-12 times a day, about 30-60 ml each time. Before feeding, make sure your hands are clean, and make sure the bottle and nipple are clean. When feeding, infants should be given proper posture and comfortable environment to ensure that they can eat at ease.
For breastfed infants, mothers need to maintain good nutritional status. Balanced diet and adequate liquid intake are conducive to the production and quality of breast milk. If you need to use formula milk powder, choose a product suitable for the baby's age, and prepare and feed it according to the product instructions.
Sleep schedule
12 day old IVF babies will spend most of their time in sleep. Good sleep arrangements are essential for the growth and development of infants. It is recommended to provide a quiet, warm and comfortable sleeping environment for infants during the day and at night.
IVF babies may not have established regular sleep patterns at this stage. Parents can try to help infants establish good sleep habits by creating a certain pre sleep environment and fixed pre sleep rituals. Avoid excessive stimulation and activities, especially at night. When the baby wakes up, respond in a timely manner and provide the needed comfort and care.
Keep the indoor environment clean
The immune system of IVF is not fully developed, so special attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the indoor environment. Keep the room ventilated and open windows regularly to reduce the breeding of indoor bacteria. Keep the indoor temperature appropriate and avoid excessive cold or heat. Clean the furniture and floor regularly to keep the room clean.
In addition to the indoor environment, we also need to pay attention to the personal hygiene of infants. Bathe the baby regularly, but not too frequently, to avoid drying the baby's skin excessively. At the same time, cut the baby's nails short to prevent them from scratching themselves.
Establish parent-child relationship
The establishment of parent-child relationship in IVF is very important for their psychological and emotional development. Parents should actively participate in the life and care of infants and establish close ties with them. Close contact with the baby, such as hugging, kissing, touching, etc., helps to strengthen the emotional connection between parents and children, and promotes the formation of the baby's sense of security and trust.
Eye contact, dialogue and interaction with infants will help infants' brain development and improve their language ability. Parents should maintain a good emotional state and convey positive, caring and safe feelings to the baby.
Summary
The 12 day maintenance of IVF infants includes feeding and lactation, sleep arrangement, keeping the indoor environment clean and tidy, and establishing parent-child relationship. In terms of feeding and lactation, attention should be paid to the feeding time and feeding needs of infants, and appropriate posture and comfortable environment should be given. The sleeping arrangement of infants should be regular, creating a good environment and a fixed ceremony before bed. Keeping the indoor environment clean and tidy is an important step to ensure the health of infants. Finally, the establishment of parent-child ties is crucial to the psychological and emotional development of infants.
By following these precautions, we can help IVF grow up healthily and promote their all-round development.
