How to Sleep in Test Tube Infants for 50 Days
IVF is a kind of baby that is fertilized and cultivated in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology. From the day when babies are born, sleep has become an important part of their lives. Within 50 days after the birth of IVF babies, they need to gradually establish their own sleep patterns to promote the healthy development of the body and brain. The following will elaborate on the infant's sleep environment, sleep time, sleep safety, and bedtime habits.
Sleep environment
The sleep environment of IVF infants plays a vital role in their sleep quality. When choosing an appropriate sleeping environment, we should pay attention to the following points:
First, keep the room temperature appropriate. Test tube babies have weak adaptability to room temperature, so we should keep the room temperature between 20-22 degrees Celsius to provide a comfortable sleeping environment.
Second, make sure the room is quiet. IVF babies are easy to be disturbed by external noise, so we should try to keep their sleeping environment quiet. We can reduce the impact of noise on them through soundproof curtains and child safety earplugs.
In addition, avoid using too many toys and decorations. Too many toys and decorations will affect IVF's sleep. We should keep the bed simple and avoid using too thick mattresses and too many toys.
Sleep time
The first two months after birth of IVF babies are sleep remodeling period, and their sleep time is relatively long. In the first few days, they will spend most of their time in sleep, and the daily sleep time can reach 16-20 hours. However, as time goes on, the sleep time of IVF babies will gradually decrease, and about 50 day old babies will sleep 14-16 hours every day.
At the same time, the sleep time of IVF is not a one-time continuous, but consists of several short sleep cycles. During these sleep cycles, infants will experience rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, which will help their brain development and physical recovery.
Sleep safety
IVF babies need more attention and protection during sleep to ensure their sleep safety. Here are some considerations:
First, let the baby sleep alone. Test tube babies are best to sleep alone within 50 days and avoid sleeping with other babies or adults. Co sleep increases the risk of asphyxia and suffocation.
Secondly, put the sleeping position correctly. In vitro babies should use supine position when sleeping, which helps reduce the risk of sudden onset syndrome (SIDS) in infants. At the same time, avoid using pillows and too many cushions to prevent them from breathing.
Finally, ensure the quality and safety of sleep products. Beds, mattresses and sheets need to be cleaned and disinfected frequently to keep them clean and sanitary. In addition, buy quality guaranteed baby beds and other sleeping supplies, and avoid using second-hand or products that do not meet safety standards.
Bedtime habits
It is very important for IVF babies to establish stable bedtime habits to adjust their biological clock and promote sleep. Here are some noteworthy habits:
First, keep a regular bedtime. Test tube babies try to keep a fixed time of getting up and sleeping within 50 days, which helps them to establish a healthy biological clock and better adapt to the changes of day and night.
Secondly, create a comfortable environment before bed. Test tube babies can have some relaxation activities before sleeping, such as gentle massage or listening to soft music. At the same time, avoid stimulating recreational activities and food intake, so as not to affect their sleep.
Finally, establish a bedtime routine. A set of fixed bedtime activities can be formulated for IVF infants, such as washing, dressing in pajamas, reading storybooks, etc., which will help infants relax and fall asleep.
summary
How to sleep in 50 days for IVF infants requires more attention and care in terms of sleep environment, sleep time, sleep safety and bedtime habits. Appropriate sleeping environment, regular sleeping time, safe sleeping measures and good bedtime habits all contribute to the healthy growth of IVF babies. I hope these instructions can help parents take better care of their IVF babies and create good sleep conditions for them.
