Test tube baby for 12 days: how about the development of body function?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of fertility method that uses IVF technology to cultivate fertilized eggs in the laboratory and transplant them into the mother's body. In the first few months after the birth of IVF babies, their physical functions will experience rapid development. This article will elaborate on the physical function development and rearing of test tube babies 12 days after birth from four aspects.

Body growth and development
In the 12 days after birth, the IVF body will experience obvious growth and development. Their weight may increase by 10% to 15%, which is a common phenomenon during rapid growth. In addition, the baby's length and head circumference will also increase. Although the growth rate of each baby may be different, at this stage, their body systems will gradually mature, including the respiratory system, digestive system and nervous system. In order to promote the physical development of infants, parents should provide them with a balanced diet, adequate sleep and appropriate exercise.
At the same time, the motor ability of IVF will also be developed. In 12 days, they may start to try to raise their heads and support their bodies slightly while lying down. This is the embodiment of their muscle strength and coordination ability. In order to help infants develop their sports ability, parents can provide a safe and comfortable environment, stimulate their curiosity and encourage them to explore.
Cognition and perception
In the 12 days after birth, IVF's cognitive and perceptual abilities also begin to develop. They can perceive people and objects around them through vision, and respond to sound. Although their visual and auditory systems are not yet fully mature, this period is an important stage for them to begin to establish their sensory foundation. Parents can promote their cognitive and perceptual development by making eye contact, talking or singing with their babies.
Emotional and social interaction
The emotional and social interaction ability of IVF infants also develops within 12 days after birth. They begin to have attachment to their close friends, and express their needs and feelings through crying, smiling and body movements. During this period, parents' companionship and attention are crucial to the emotional and social development of infants. Parents should establish close contact with infants and respond to their needs to establish a safe and intimate relationship.
Article summary
After 12 days of birth, IVF babies will experience the development of growth and development, motor ability, cognitive and perceptual ability, and emotional and social interaction. At this stage, the care and support of parents are crucial to the healthy growth of infants. By providing a balanced diet, a safe and comfortable environment, and interaction and attention with babies, parents can help them raise happy and healthy IVF babies.
