Can test tube babies crawl after 12 weeks? How to promote IVF development?
Test tube baby refers to the baby who is assisted by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology. In the process of IVF development, crawling is an important stage of infants' motor ability. This article will elaborate on the crawling ability of IVF and the methods to promote its development from four aspects.
1. Crawling is an important sign of IVF development
Crawling is an important stage in the development of infant movement and one of the important signs of IVF development. Generally speaking, IVF babies begin to creep about 3 months after birth. First of all, IVF babies will stand up and try to support their upper body when they are lying on their stomach. With the increase of muscle strength, IVF will gradually try to crawl on the abdomen, that is, move its body forward with the support of the abdomen.
For some test tube babies with slower development, they may start crawling later. This does not mean that they have any problems, because the development speed of each baby is different. What is important is that crawling is a manifestation of overall physical development. Its importance lies not in the time, but in whether it can successfully complete this stage.
2. Methods to promote the crawling development of test tube babies
In order to promote the crawling development of test tube babies, parents can try the following methods:
First, provide a safe and spacious environment. IVF babies need enough space to move their bodies during crawling. Parents can prepare a soft baby crawl pad for IVF or lay a clean blanket on the floor. At the same time, parents need to ensure the safety of the environment and remove dangerous objects around the baby, such as sharp objects or fragile utensils.
Secondly, give appropriate encouragement and guidance. When IVF babies begin to try to crawl, parents can encourage them with gentle words and gently guide their body movements with their hands. Parents can lie in front of babies and attract their attention with toys or sounds to stimulate their interest in crawling.
Finally, provide some crawling training. Test tube babies need to improve their crawling ability through repeated practice. Accompanied by parents, some simple crawling training can be carried out, such as placing a toy in front of the baby to encourage them to actively crawl to the toy. Such training is helpful to exercise the muscle strength and coordination ability of IVF.
3. Critical period of IVF development
The crawling ability of IVF is an important stage in infant development, but not all IVF babies will start crawling around 12 weeks. In fact, the growth rate of IVF babies will be different, so parents need to observe and evaluate according to the actual situation of the baby.
However, no matter how fast the IVF develops, the critical period is an important window period for infant development. During the critical period, parents should pay attention to providing a good living environment and adequate nutrition for IVF babies, as well as providing appropriate sports and training to promote their physical and intellectual development. Timely intervention and care are crucial to the development of IVF.
4. Summary
The crawling ability of IVF is an important sign of infant development, but not all IVF babies will start crawling around 12 weeks. For test tube babies, the time of crawling is not the most important. The key is whether the stage can be completed at the right time and in the right way. In the process of promoting the development of IVF, parents can help them develop healthy crawling ability by providing a safe environment, proper encouragement and guidance, and proper crawling training. At the same time, parents should pay attention to the critical development period of IVF babies and provide appropriate care and intervention to ensure their comprehensive and healthy growth.
