Test tube baby for 12 days: can there be parent-child interaction? How to raise?
IVF is a kind of baby that is fertilized and cultivated into embryos in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology and then transferred to the mother's body. Because there may be some differences between IVF and naturally conceived babies in their postnatal development, many new parents will be confused about how to raise IVF. This article will elaborate on the parent-child interaction and rearing of test tube babies at 12 days from four aspects.
health
In the first few days after birth, test tube babies, like naturally conceived babies, need professional medical personnel to conduct health monitoring. Under the care of professional hospitals, doctors will regularly give IVF babies physical examination to ensure their healthy growth. Generally speaking, test tube babies are in stable physical condition at 12 days, but they still need close attention.
In the hospital, parents can communicate with doctors and nurses to understand the health status of the baby and learn some basic parenting skills. Parents can observe the baby's breathing, temperature and excretion, and regularly check the baby's weight. Through interaction with medical staff, parents can better understand the health status of IVF and take corresponding nursing measures in time.
In addition, parents can also ask doctors and nurses about feeding and sleeping to ensure that IVF babies get good nutrition and adequate rest.
Nutritional requirements
The diet of test tube infants at 12 days was mainly milk powder. According to the age and weight of the baby, the doctor or nurse will give appropriate feeding amount and frequency. Parents need to accurately prepare milk powder according to the doctor's instructions and ensure the hygiene in the feeding process.
During the feeding process, parents can make eye contact with the baby, gently sleep and other parent-child interactions, which helps to enhance parent-child feelings. At the same time, parents can also touch and pat the baby's back to promote digestion and exhaust.
In addition, with the growth and development of the baby, parents can gradually introduce complementary foods. Before adding complementary foods, parents should consult with professional doctors and strictly control the type and quality of complementary foods to ensure balanced nutrition for infants.
Environmental adaptation
IVF babies need to adapt to the new environment after birth. In the hospital, newborns will have their own small beds, and parents can accompany them. Parents can interact with babies by whispering and touching their bodies, so that they can feel the warm atmosphere.
When IVF babies return home after discharge, parents should create a safe and comfortable environment for them. A special baby room can be arranged to keep the indoor temperature appropriate, air circulation and avoid excessive noise. At the same time, parents can also interact with their babies by tapping, touching and other ways to enhance their sense of identity with the family.
Daily care
Daily care of test tube babies at 12 days includes bathing, changing diapers, massage, etc. When bathing test tube babies, parents need to control the water temperature in an appropriate range and use professional baby soap or bath gel. When changing diapers, parents should pay attention to keeping them as dry and clean as possible, and regularly clean the baby's private parts. When massaging, parents can use professional baby massage oil to gently massage the baby's limbs and abdomen to promote blood circulation and muscle development.
Through the process of daily care, parents can interact with IVF frequently to enhance parent-child feelings. At the same time, parents can also take better care of the health of IVF babies with the help of professional care products and tools.
Summary
The 12 days after the birth of the test tube baby is a critical period. Parents need to work closely with medical staff to ensure that the health of the baby is well monitored and cared for. Parents can interact with their children by making eye contact with their babies and sleeping quietly to enhance their feelings. At the same time, parents should learn to feed, bathe and massage test tube babies correctly to provide them with a safe and comfortable growth environment.
In the process of parent-child interaction and upbringing, parents should always focus on the health and safety of the baby, and operate according to the doctor's advice and guidance. Through professional monitoring and parent-child interaction, IVF can grow healthily and happily.
