Test tube baby for 12 days: what is its ability? How to cultivate?
IVF babies are babies bred in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization technology. Their growth and development are different from those of naturally conceived babies. In the first 12 days after birth, babies show some special abilities. This article will elaborate on the performance and cultivation of test tube infants' 12 day ability from four aspects.

1. Psychological and emotional development
At 12 days of IVF, they began to show curiosity and interest in their surroundings. They can sense external stimuli through vision and hearing, and respond to sounds and body movements. At this time, interaction with relatives is crucial to the psychological and emotional development of IVF. Relatives should give them enough attention and warm hugs to increase their sense of security and trust. In addition, through interactive play with infants, they can develop social skills and emotional connection.
With the psychological and emotional development of IVF, they will gradually begin to show autonomy and independence. Establishing positive interaction with IVF babies and giving them sufficient support and understanding will help them develop healthily.
2. Sports and coordination ability
About 12 days after birth, IVF babies begin to demonstrate their basic motor and coordination abilities. They can hold objects with both hands and try to support their upper body with their arms. At this time, parents can place some safe toys around the baby to encourage them to try to grasp and explore, so as to promote their hand eye coordination and motor development.
IVF babies can also express their needs and desires by kicking and moving their bodies. In order to help them develop stronger muscle strength and coordination ability, parents can give them some freedom to kick at an appropriate time, and provide a safe environment, such as a pedal rocker or crib, to let them try different sports.
3. Language and communication skills
Although test tube babies do not have the ability to pronounce at 12 days, they can express their emotional connection with their relatives through eye contact and voice. They can distinguish different voices, respond to the tone and intonation of their mother tongue, and express their likes or dissatisfaction. At this time, parents can strengthen the parent-child relationship with their babies and promote their sensitivity to language development through simple language communication and closeness.
In order to develop IVF babies' language and communication skills, parents can provide them with rich auditory stimuli, such as music, children's songs and story telling. At the same time, we encourage infants to interact and develop their language perception by imitating their voice and expression.
4. Daily habits and self-care ability
At the 12th day of IVF, they began to develop some daily habits and self-care ability. They can adapt to fixed feeding and sleeping time, and have a certain understanding of the wet feeling of diapers and clothes. Although they still need the care and support of their parents, they show strong adaptability and self-regulation.
In order to cultivate the daily habits and self-care ability of IVF babies, parents can feed and sleep at a fixed time to cultivate their regular habits. At the same time, gradually guide them to implement some simple self-care, such as touching the wet feeling of diapers, wiping with wet baby tissues, etc.
Summary
IVF babies show some special abilities and needs in the first 12 days after birth. They have made some progress in psychology and emotion, movement and coordination, language and communication, daily habits and self-care. Through interaction with parents and children and reasonable training methods, we can promote their all-round and healthy growth. The early stage of IVF is crucial for their subsequent development. Parents should give them enough attention and support to help them build a good foundation.
