Test tube baby 12 days: how to assist development? What are the needs?
Test tube baby is one of the important achievements of modern reproductive medicine, which enables many couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their dream of becoming parents. However, IVF babies still need special attention and assisted development after birth to ensure their healthy growth. In the first 12 days after IVF birth, there are some key aspects that need special attention.
Health monitoring
The first 12 days after the birth of IVF babies is a crucial time window, because during this period, their bodies are adapting to the external environment and establishing their own immune system. Therefore, health monitoring is very important. IVF babies need to undergo routine health examination, including monitoring of temperature, blood pressure, respiration and other indicators, to ensure that their vital signs are normal.
In addition, IVF babies also need to be vaccinated to protect them from common diseases. For infants of different ages, the type and time of vaccination will also be different. Parents need to follow the doctor's advice for vaccination.
Finally, for premature infants, health monitoring is more important. They may need special care and monitoring to prevent and manage the risk of premature delivery.
Nutrition intake
For test tube babies, good nutrition intake is very important for their normal development. In the first 12 days after birth, breast milk is the best source of nutrition. Breast milk is rich in antibodies and various nutrients, which can improve the immunity of infants and promote their healthy development.
If the mother cannot provide enough breast milk, she can choose formula feeding. When selecting the formula, the appropriate type and brand should be selected according to the age and needs of the baby, and the correct feeding method should be followed.
In addition, in some special cases, infants may need additional nutritional supplements, such as vitamin D or iron supplements shortly after birth. These needs should be carried out under the guidance of a pediatrician and should not exceed the safe intake.
Good sleeping environment
In the first 12 days after the birth of IVF babies, a good sleep environment is essential for their health and development. Babies need a quiet and stable environment to ensure adequate sleep time. Sleep has an important impact on the development of the baby's brain and the adjustment of the functions of various systems of the body.
In order to create a good sleeping environment, parents can choose a quiet, warm and well ventilated room to avoid noise and bright light. In addition, choosing the right bed and bedding, keeping the right room temperature and establishing regular sleep time also contribute to the sleep quality of infants.
If the baby has sleep problems, parents should consult a pediatrician for the correct solution.
Early developmental assessment and stimulation
Early developmental assessment of IVF is very important, which can identify and solve potential developmental problems as early as possible. In the first 12 days after the birth of the test tube baby, the pediatrician will conduct a preliminary development assessment to observe the baby's basic response, movement ability and body control.
In addition, parents can also promote the development of infants through some simple methods, such as giving them enough eye contact and speech stimulation, providing a variety of tactile experiences, and insisting on proper muscle exercise.
If the baby has problems or any questions in the early development assessment, the parents should consult the doctor as soon as possible to seek professional advice and help.
Summary
In the critical period after 12 days of IVF birth, health monitoring, nutrition intake, sleep environment and early development assessment need special attention and assistance. Only by ensuring the health and development of infants can they adapt to the external environment and move towards a healthy growth path.
Therefore, parents need to work closely with doctors to carry out appropriate nursing and assisted development measures under the guidance to lay a good foundation for IVF growth.
