Do IVF babies need special care after 28 days?
Test tube babies are babies obtained through artificial assisted reproduction technology. They have gone through a special process to reduce the risk of infertility patients. However, IVF babies still need special care within 28 days after birth to ensure their health and development.
Physical needs
In the future, IVF babies need muscle strength and adaptability to new environments. For 28 day old IVF babies, their bodies are in the stage of rapid development. At this stage, their bodies need to pay attention to the following aspects of care.
First, IVF babies need proper exercise to promote muscle development. Parents can use some activity toys suitable for babies, such as baby fitness equipment or voice toys, to help them exercise muscles. In addition, parents can also massage the baby's muscles to promote blood circulation and muscle relaxation.
Secondly, the skin of test tube babies needs special care. Their skin is very delicate and vulnerable to external stimulation. Therefore, parents should pay attention to keeping the baby's skin clean and moisturized. Use mild baby bath lotion and moisturizing cream, and avoid long-term contact with urine and stool.
Finally, the diet of IVF also needs special attention. 28 day old IVF babies can start to try complementary foods, but parents should choose foods that are suitable for the age of the baby and avoid allergic foods. At the same time, ensure that the baby's diet and nutrition intake are sufficient to support their physical development.
Cognitive needs
Corresponding to the physical needs is the cognitive needs of IVF. 28 day old infants are in the development stage of perception and cognitive ability. They begin to be interested in the things around them and explore the world through their senses.
First, parents should give IVF enough attention and interaction. They need to hear their parents' voices, see their parents' faces, and establish emotional ties with their parents. Through eye contact and touch interaction with infants, parents can promote the cognitive development of IVF.
Secondly, IVF babies need to be exposed to a variety of environments. Parents can take them to parks, libraries, stores and other places, so that they can be exposed to different landscapes and sounds, and enrich their sensory experience. In addition, providing babies with rich toys and games can stimulate their curiosity and train their thinking ability.
Finally, IVF sleep should also be taken seriously. Good sleep helps their brain develop and grow healthily. Parents can establish stable sleep habits, such as fixed sleeping time and comfortable sleeping environment, to help IVF infants obtain good sleep quality.
Psychological needs
Test tube babies need special psychological care after 28 days. Although they are acquired through artificial assisted reproduction technology, they still need a warm and caring family environment to promote the healthy development of psychology.
First of all, parents should give IVF a full sense of love and security. They need to feel loved and accepted, and establish a secure attachment. Parents can express their love and concern for the baby through close physical contact, gentle touch and soothing words.
Secondly, IVF needs a stable family environment. Try to reduce noise and family conflict, and give them a peaceful and stable living space. Parents can also provide a sense of security for IVF babies by establishing family rules and orderly living habits.
Finally, parents' emotions and mental states also play an important role in the psychological needs of IVF. Parents should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and avoid emotional fluctuations and excessive anxiety. They can improve their childcare ability and reduce anxiety and stress by attending childcare training courses and sharing experience with other parents.
summary
IVF babies need special care within 28 days after birth to meet their physical, cognitive and psychological needs. Parents should pay attention to the baby's physical development, provide proper exercise, skin protection and healthy diet. At the same time, they should also pay attention to the infant's perception and cognitive development, and help the infant to establish a cognition of the world through intimate interaction and rich environmental stimuli. In addition, IVF babies also need a warm and caring family environment to meet their psychological needs.
