Can test tube babies swim in 40 days?
In recent years, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the development of society, IVF has become a common way of reproduction. However, the nursing and education of newborns are still the focus of mothers' attention. Some parents may wonder whether IVF babies can swim when they are 40 days old? This article will elaborate on this issue from several aspects.
Whether the physical development is suitable
Although the 40 day old body of IVF has gradually adapted to the external environment, there are still some differences in physical development. According to the advice of medical experts, under normal circumstances, the physical development of a newborn needs at least 3 months. At this time, the muscles and bones will be more developed and have a better swimming foundation. Therefore, the physical development of swimming is not suitable for 40 day old IVF infants.
First of all, in the first few months after birth, the baby's neck muscles are not strong enough. When swimming, the baby needs to keep the head stable, and the incomplete development of neck muscles may lead to the baby's neck unstable, thus increasing the risk of drowning.
Secondly, the strength of IVF's arm and leg muscles is not stable enough. When swimming, babies need to be able to stretch and move their limbs freely to maintain balance. However, 40 day old IVF babies have not yet formed such a habit, and may feel uncomfortable, increasing the difficulty of swimming.
Therefore, from the perspective of physical development, test tube babies are not suitable for swimming when they are 40 days old.
Whether the immune system is sound
After birth, IVF babies need to adapt to the external environment and establish their own immune system. The soundness of the immune system is directly related to the baby's resistance and health. At the age of 40 days, the immune system of IVF is still in the early stage of development. Therefore, swimming too early may increase your baby's risk of infection.
The swimming place itself is a relatively closed and humid environment, and there may be various bacteria, viruses and parasites in the water. For IVF infants with incomplete immune system, the pathogen in this environment is easy to cause infection, and in serious cases, it will also lead to other health problems.
At the same time, the newborn's skin is very fragile and has not yet formed a complete protective layer. When swimming, the skin is exposed to water and is vulnerable to irritation and infection. Therefore, from the perspective of the immune system, test tube babies are not suitable for swimming when they are 40 days old.
Safety considerations
In addition to physical development and sound immune system, safety is also an important factor to consider whether IVF babies can swim in 40 days.
First of all, babies need to touch water when swimming. For 40 day old test tube babies, water temperature control is particularly important. Low water temperature can easily lead to colds and other health problems for babies, while high water temperature can cause discomfort and skin sensitivity for babies. At the same time, IVF infants have poor adaptability to temperature and are vulnerable to temperature changes, which may lead to respiratory tract infections and other problems.
Secondly, there is a risk of drowning during swimming. When a test tube baby is 40 days old, it is difficult to master its balance ability. Once an accident occurs in the swimming process, it may not be able to save itself independently, leading to a threat to life safety.
Therefore, from the perspective of safety, test tube babies should not swim when they are 40 days old.
Summary
To sum up, test tube babies are not suitable for swimming when they are 40 days old. From the perspective of physical development, immune system and safety issues, IVF babies at this stage do not have the conditions and ability to swim. When raising and caring for IVF babies, parents should comprehensively consider the physiological characteristics and needs of the babies, and choose suitable ways for nursing and education to ensure the safe and healthy growth of the babies.
