How to conduct parent-child interaction in 15 days for test tube infants
IVF is an embryo that is fertilized and cultivated in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology, and then implanted into the mother for pregnancy. Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF needs more care and care. The first two weeks after IVF birth are very important, because they are the basic stage for establishing parent-child relationship and future development. The following will elaborate on how to conduct parent-child interaction within 15 days for IVF from several aspects.
1. Skin contact
Skin contact is essential for establishing parent-child relationships. The tactile communication between parents and children can enhance the emotional communication between parents and IVF. In the first few days after the birth of a test tube baby, parents can transfer love and warmth by gently touching the skin of the test tube baby. This kind of contact not only helps the baby feel the presence of parents, but also promotes the development of the baby's nervous system. Skin contact between parents and children can be achieved by touching, shaking hands, hugging, etc.
At the same time, parents can also carry out parent-child interaction with the help of infant massage. Baby massage can not only help promote babies' sleep, but also relieve their muscle tension and strengthen the emotional bond between parents and children. During infant massage, parents need to use warm hands to gently press the baby's back, arms, legs and other parts, and can make eye contact with the baby at the same time, which helps to increase the intimacy between parents and children.
In addition, bathing is also an important part of promoting parent-child interaction. Within 15 days after the birth of a test tube baby, parents can use the opportunity of bathing to interact with the baby. Parents can gently hold the baby, put it into warm water, gently pat the baby's back, and make eye contact with the baby to enhance the emotional relationship between parents and children.
2. Sound interaction
Sound is an important part of parent-child interaction. After IVF babies are born, parents can establish sound interaction by talking to them, singing, soft voice or laughter. The sound interaction between parents and children can make IVF feel relieved and relaxed, and help the infant's auditory development.
Parents can choose an appropriate time, for example, when the baby just wakes up or has a full meal, to have music interaction with the baby. Soft singing, humming and story telling not only contribute to the language development of IVF, but also make the emotional connection between parents and children closer. At the same time, parents can try to establish eye contact with the baby to convey love and care through facial expressions and smiles.
3. Eye contact
Eye contact is the key to parent-child interaction within 15 days for IVF infants. In the first few days after the birth of IVF babies, their visual system has not yet fully developed, but they have been able to distinguish facial and eye features. Parents can make eye contact with IVF babies, and make emotional communication with babies through eye gaze, blink and smile.
In order to promote eye contact, parents can keep IVF close to the body and face to face with it. Then, parents can look into the baby's eyes, blink at the right time, and smile to communicate with them. This eye contact interaction helps IVF feel the love and concern of parents, and can also enhance the emotional bond between parents and children.
4. Regular hospital return visit
Within 15 days after the birth of test tube babies, regular hospital visits are crucial to the development of parent-child interaction. Parents need to take IVF babies to formal hospitals for reexamination and infant health assessment. With the guidance of doctors, parents can better understand the needs and adaptation of IVF. The hospital return visit also provides an opportunity for parents to communicate and consult with doctors, so that they can better understand how to conduct parent-child interaction.
In a word, skin contact, voice interaction, eye contact and regular hospital visit are the keys to parent-child interaction within 15 days after the birth of IVF. These interactive ways not only help to establish parent-child relationship, but also promote the perception, cognition and emotional development of IVF. Only through interaction and care with parents can IVF achieve better growth and development.
