Test tube baby 12 days: Is there anything you need to pay attention to? How to take care of it?
IVF refers to the embryo that has reached the embryonic stage by cultivating the fertilized egg in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization technology, and then implanting it into the mother's uterus to develop into a fetus. IVF babies need special care and attention after birth. When the baby is 12 days old, parents need to pay attention to the following aspects to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.
1. Diet and nutrition
In the early life of IVF, proper diet and nutrition play a vital role in the health and development of infants. Parents should ensure that infants receive enough milk or formula to meet their nutritional needs. Breastfeeding is the best way to feed your baby. It provides all the nutrients your baby needs and strengthens your baby's immune system. If breast milk is not feasible, parents can choose a formula suitable for the baby's age.
In addition, complementary foods can be introduced at 12 days of age. Parents can gradually introduce complementary foods such as rice paste and fruit paste according to the doctor's advice. The introduction of complementary foods should be carried out gradually, and each new food should be introduced several days apart to observe the baby's response to the food. When adding complementary foods, parents should follow the guidance of the doctor to ensure that the baby gets appropriate food to meet his needs.
2. Sleep
Good sleep is essential for the health and development of infants. Infants need about 16-18 hours of sleep at 12 days, divided into several short sleep cycles. In order to ensure the baby's good sleep, parents can take the following measures:
-Establish a regular bedtime routine, such as bathing, massage or reading stories, to help the baby sleep.
-Create a quiet, comfortable and dark sleeping environment to reduce irritation.
-Regular feeding schedules can help infants form good sleep habits.
If the baby has abnormalities during sleep, such as frequent waking up, crying at night, etc., parents should seek advice from the doctor to understand the possible causes and solutions.
3. Temperature regulation
Test tube babies are very sensitive to temperature, so parents need to pay attention to the temperature regulation of babies. The room temperature should be kept within an appropriate range, usually 23-26 degrees Celsius. In cold weather, infants can wear appropriate clothes to keep warm, and pay attention to avoid direct cold wind. In addition, the use of appropriate sleeping bags or blankets can help infants maintain a suitable temperature during sleep.
In addition, parents should pay attention to the control of indoor humidity and clean the room regularly to ensure the health and comfort of the baby.
4. Pay attention to observation
At the 12th day of the baby's life, parents need to closely monitor the baby's health, including:
-The normal weight growth rate of infants should be 20-30g per day.
-The frequency and texture of the baby's feces and urine, normal diaper humidity and stool color.
-Whether the baby has any unusual symptoms, such as vomiting, abdominal distension, and continuous crying.
If parents notice any abnormalities, they should consult a doctor in a timely manner. Regular pediatric examination is also an important means to ensure the health of infants.
summary
IVF babies need special care and attention at 12 days. Dietary nutrition, sleep, temperature regulation and attention observation are the key aspects that parents need to pay attention to. Through scientific care and relying on the guidance of doctors, IVF can grow up healthily.
