Chapter 382 Accumulation of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Zhang Yan used acupuncture to clear Tong Mei's breast ducts, and soon Tong Mei felt a sense of fullness.
"Zhang Yan, it's amazing. I feel so swollen, as if I have breast milk!" Tong Mei said in surprise.
"Haha, don't you see who your man is? Let your son drink milk!
Look at this little guy, howling with hunger." Zhang Yan said with a smile.
Zhang's mother quickly handed the baby to Tong Mei and asked her to nurse the baby.
However, looking at the milk powder I just brewed, it seems a bit wasteful.
People like Tong Mei, who give birth naturally, will secrete milk soon after the baby is born.
The reason why there is no milk is because the ducts of the mammary gland are blocked, and even if the milk is secreted, it cannot come out.
At this time, there are two methods.
One is to wait for a while and drink some medicated soup that will stimulate the milk supply. As long as the blockage is not too severe, the pipe will naturally be flushed open when the milk supply is sufficient.
Another way is to let the husband or older children suck hard for a few times to open the breast ducts.
"What should I do with this milk powder? Why don't you drink it!" Mother Zhang looked at the milk powder that had just been soaked in the bottle and said distressedly.
"No, I guess I have to feed him some milk powder later. Tong Mei has just started to breastfeed, so it may not be enough." Zhang Yan said with a smile.
Weighing nine pounds and eight taels, the child is 61 centimeters long, which is heavier than many full-month-old children.
Even some frail children may not be that heavy or that big at four or five months old.
The bigger the child is, the bigger his appetite will naturally be. Tong Mei has just given birth to milk, which is definitely not enough for the baby to drink.
Sure enough, just as Zhang Yan thought, after his son drank the milk from the two milk bags, he drank the milk from the bottle and then fell asleep.
"Mom, you and my dad have been tired for a long time. Go back and have a rest and eat something!"
"Can you take care of the two of them by yourself?" Mother Zhang asked worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry! If I can't do it, aren't there still nurses? You go home and have a rest, and then make Tong Mei a crucian carp soup at night and ask me, Xiangzi, to bring it over."
"Let your father give it to you. How old is Xiangzi?"
"Mom, just ask Xiangzi and Gangzi to send her off. They are already twelve or thirteen years old. How can they still do this?" Tong Mei also said.
"Okay! Meimei, take advantage of this moment and take a rest.
Your father and I will go back first and bring you food later in the evening." Mother Zhang did not argue anymore and just said with a smile.
After sending Zhang's mother and Zhang Fusheng away, Tong Mei said with some worry: "Zhuang Zhuang is so good at eating, what will I do if I don't have enough milk in the future?"
"Haha, don't worry! Our granary is so big, are we afraid that we won't have enough food? Drink more milk-rich soup to ensure that the milk is flowing so that this brat can't eat it." Zhang Yan comforted him with a smile.
"Hurry up and take a rest! It will probably get lively in the evening." Zhang Yan said with a smile again.
"You should also take a rest!" Tong Mei nodded, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon.
Having just given birth to a baby, Tong Mei spent a lot of energy.
Zhang Yan glanced at his son Zhuangzhuang and saw that he was sleeping soundly. Zhang Yan rested on the other bed and closed his eyes to rest.
Although Zhang Yan has never given birth to a child, he has been in the obstetrics and gynecology department and knows how tiring it is to have a child just after birth.
The baby is hungry and has a bowel movement quickly. Either he is hungry, he or she has a bowel movement or a pee.
Basically, it takes less than an hour to do it once.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yan closed his eyes, within half an hour, his son started crying.
Zhang Yan hurried over to check and found that he had peed.
At this time, Tong Mei was also woken up, and the couple began to hurriedly change their son's diaper.
However, both of them are the kind of people who have good brains, good eyes, but no hands. They have been busy for a long time and still can't get it right.
"Dean, let me do it!" Just then a nurse came in and skillfully helped two people change their son's diaper.
"Thank you! Changing diapers seems easy, but I didn't expect it to be really difficult." Zhang Yan thanked her hurriedly and politely.
"Dean, you and Director Tong are both people who do big things, so these small things are naturally..."
"Are you a nurse from Red Star Hospital for training?" Zhang Yan looked at the other person and asked.
From the beginning, the title was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, he is called Dean Zhang, and this nurse directly addresses him as Dean.
There is naturally a difference here.
"Dean, I am the second batch of nurses coming to our hospital for training. My name is Zhao Dongmei!" the female nurse quickly introduced herself.
"Zhao Dongmei, thank you just now. I saw that you were very skilled in changing diapers just now. Did you practice it at home or in the hospital?"
"I learned it in the hospital! A total of five of our batch of nurses who came for training were assigned to obstetrics and gynecology training.
Because obstetrics and gynecology have to deal with pregnant women and babies, you have to learn how to take care of children." Zhao Dongmei said excitedly.
Zhao Dongmei was extremely excited to be able to make the dean remember her name.
"Well, taking care of children is not an easy thing. You should study hard. In the future, our Red Star Hospital will also have an obstetrics and gynecology department.
Try to learn all the techniques of Xicheng Hospital, and you will all be veterans of Red Star Hospital from now on." Zhang Yan encouraged with a smile.
"Dean, you and Director Tong should take some time to rest! This kid is even more upsetting at night.
I'm at the nurse's station. If you need anything, just call me!" After chatting for a few more words, Zhao Dongmei said goodbye and left in a discerning manner.
"He's got eyes!" Tong Mei said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Zhang Yan nodded.
"Hurry up and take a rest! Leave your son to me and you can rest peacefully!" Zhang Yan warned again.
"Okay!" Tong Mei closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
Zhang Yan stepped forward and gently massaged the Tong Meiyintang point, Shangxing point, Baihui point and other acupoints.
"What are you doing?" Tong Mei asked as she opened her eyes.
"Let you sleep a little deeper!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.
Following Zhang Yan's massage, Tong Mei soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the meantime, Zhang Yan changed his son's diapers twice more and fed him milk once, but Tong Mei was not woken up.
Zhang Yan also experienced that being a parent is not easy.
It wasn't until the evening that Zhang Yan woke up Tong Mei when guests came.
Although neither Zhang Yan nor Tong Mei informed outsiders of the birth of their child.
However, there are always many caring people who know that Tong Mei is pregnant.
In the evening, the ward became lively.
There are Tong Mei's subordinates and colleagues, Zhang Yan's colleagues and subordinates, and his apprentices.
They all came to visit with gifts.
"Tong Mei, this child is so big, you have suffered a lot." Director Zhou hugged Zhuang Zhuang and said in surprise.
"Yes! That feeling is really painful. No wonder they say that when a woman gives birth to a child, she is going through hell." Tong Mei nodded in approval.
