At about six o'clock in the afternoon, three elders, Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Mo, and Xiang Jin's grandmother, came with several thermos buckets of food. Not long after Yan Chen woke up, he and Xiang Jin
The two of them were talking to their children.
Seeing that she was awake and the child was still asleep, several elders lowered their voices and asked her with concern how she was feeling and if she was feeling uncomfortable anywhere.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "Not bad!"
The elders nodded reassuringly, and after placing the thermos bucket on the bedside table, they all bent down to look at the baby sleeping soundly next to Xiang Jin. Grandma Mo then raised her head and asked Xiang Jin,
"Have you eaten anything since you woke up?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "I drank three large bowls of ginseng chicken soup and ate two bowls of chicken."
After several elders heard this, they all turned their eyes to Xiang Jin, and then they all said with smiles on their faces, "Okay, okay, I have to eat more so that I can recover as soon as possible."
Her grandma said, "You shouldn't eat too greasy food at night, so we made fish soup for you with tofu cubes in it."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Thank you, grandpa, grandma, and grandma. I heard from Yan Chen that you stayed up all night last night and worked hard all morning this morning."
Several elders waved their hands and said it was nothing. They were old people who didn't sleep much, so they couldn't say it was hard.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked them to eat quickly. Xiang Jin said that she was not hungry yet and that she would eat later and asked Yan Chen to eat first. However, Yan Chen also said that he was not very hungry yet and would join her then.
Eat.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother looked at Yan Chen, "Why aren't you hungry?"
Yan Chen said, "Ajin didn't finish the food, so I helped her eat it later."
The elders laughed, and then stopped urging him to eat. The elders surrounded the child and talked, with doting looks in their eyes.
Grandma Mo looked at the child and said, "Oh, you slept very soundly, huh?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Yes, he has been sleeping the whole time. When I woke up after three o'clock, I never saw him awake."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked, "Did he drink milk in the meantime?"
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, and Yan Chen said, "I fed him twice in the afternoon."
Everyone nodded, and Grandma Mo asked him, "Does his poop stink?"
Yan Chen nodded, "I pulled it once, but it was green."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "That's meconium. It will be normal after about two days."
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "Did you handle it?"
Yan Chen looked at her and smiled and said, "If I don't deal with it, who will? That boy was crying so hard at that time. I thought he was hungry, and I fed him milk but he wouldn't drink it, so I remembered what the doctor said that he might be
He had urination or had stinky diarrhea, and felt uncomfortable under his body, so I opened the swaddle to check, and it turned out that he had stinky diarrhea, so I hurried to the bathroom to get warm water to clean him up."
The smile on Xiang Jin's lips grew wider when he looked at him, "Hey, I didn't expect that Mr. Yan, who has severe mysophobia in our family, would actually clean up the stinky smell of your son."
Meeting her teasing and joking eyes, Yan Chen said, "You also said that he is my son, so what is there to dislike about your own child?"
Xiang Jin gave him a thumbs up, "I'm relieved now, come on, keep up the good work, I'm optimistic about you!"
Several elders laughed again.
While everyone was chatting and laughing, the doctor came over to check the ward, asked them about the situation, and then asked Xiang Jin if she had breast milk.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "Not yet."
The doctor said, “For newborn babies, it is best to promote breastfeeding, because breastfeeding has many advantages. Breastfeeding is not only rich in nutrients, but also easier to digest and absorb. It can also enhance the baby’s immunity.
Because breast milk contains a variety of anti-infection immune components, such as immunoglobulins, immune active cells, lactoferrin, etc.
Breast milk is also beneficial to the development of the baby's brain, because breast milk contains high-quality protein, essential amino acids and rich lactose, which are key elements that are beneficial to the development of the baby's brain."
Xiang Jin nodded.
Then the doctor followed with a smile and said, "Don't worry if you don't have it yet. Just let your family cook more nutritious soups, such as peanut bone soup. Peanuts can not only improve the symptoms of a person's spleen and stomach weakness, but also improve the symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness."
Symptoms of anemia, and it is also very helpful for maternal recovery.
Mothers often eat peanuts, which not only promotes milk secretion, but also improves milk quality and is also very beneficial to the baby's physical development.
The second one is loofah soup. Luffa has the effect of soothing the meridians. For example, people with mastitis can eat more loofah. Women who have been unable to get pregnant for a long time usually have blocked breasts, so they can eat more loofah soup.
.
The third one is soybean and pig's trotter soup, or peanut and pig's trotter soup, but when making the soup, add less salt and other seasonings.
The fourth one is crucian carp soup, because crucian carp soup has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, diluting water and reducing swelling, and unblocking blood vessels, so it can be used to promote lactation."
Everyone nodded, and Grandma Mo said that they would cook more of these soups for Xiang Jin to drink later.
The doctor was afraid that saying something directly in front of so many elders in the family would make the two young people feel uncomfortable and embarrassed, so the doctor said to Yan Chen standing aside, "Dad, please come out with me."
Everyone looked at Yan Chen with puzzled eyes, including Xiang Jin. Yan Chen comforted Xiang Jin and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon."
A few minutes later, Yan Chen came back, and everyone turned their attention to him again. His grandmother asked him, "Chen Chen, what did the doctor just say to you?"
Yan Chen said, "Nothing, just telling me some precautions and techniques for taking care of children."
The family members all nodded and looked at ease, "Oh, that's it. Then we can rest assured. What do we think is going on with Girl Jin and the child?"
Yan Chen laughed and said, "No, where did I go? A Jin and the child are both fine."
Everyone nodded, and when they stayed until about half past seven, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen asked them to go back and rest.
Grandma Xiang Jin and Grandma Mo said, "How about we stay here tonight and you go back to rest?"
Yan Chen said, "No, just go back. I can do it here."
Xiang Jin also said, "Yes, grandpa, grandma, grandma, you can go back. I'm fine here and the child is fine, so you don't have to worry."
Seeing their insistence, the elders agreed and went back with the empty thermos bucket.
Yan Chen sent them out and asked Xiang Jin when he came back, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
Yan Chen first went to the bathroom and brought hot water to serve her so that she could wash her hands. Then he put the dining board in place. Then he took out the food from the two thermos buckets and placed it on the dining board. Yan Chen served it to her first.
A bowl of soup.
While drinking soup, Xiang Jin asked him, "What did the doctor tell you when he called you out?" She didn't believe he was talking about the doctor telling him how to take care of the child. She was not a parent.
Elders are so easy to fool.
Yan Chen looked at her with a smile and said, "You want to know so much?"
Xiang Jin said, "Is there really any problem between me and the child?"
Yan Chen put a piece of fish meat into her bowl and said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't think nonsense. You and your child are fine. The doctor called me out just to talk about your lactation."
"What's going on?" Xiang Jin asked as she chased him.
Yan Chen said, "The doctor said to let the child suck it first. If it can't come out, let me massage you more and then let me suck it."
"That's it?"
"Well," Yan Chen nodded slightly, "the elders were all here at the time. She was afraid that if she said it like that, you would be embarrassed, so she called me out and talked in private."
"Oh, indeed."
Yan Chen said, "Then let our son suck it first?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, sure!"
After the two of them finished eating, Yan Chen had just put away the dishes and chopsticks when the little guy woke up. Yan Chen quickly dimmed the lights in the room.
Seeing his pair of phoenix eyes that were exactly the same as Yan Chen's, as black as obsidian, Xiang Jin suddenly became overjoyed, "Ah, our baby finally woke up, and this is the first time mom has seen you open your eyes."
What about the appearance of your eyes, but you and your dad look really alike, right?"
The child was staring at her, his eyes moving flexibly. Xiang Jin knew that the child's eyes were not fully developed yet, and he actually saw himself in a blur. It was just that the child's ears were sensitive, and he was relying on his ears to distinguish the surroundings.
environment and understanding of the world.
Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "Husband, go get some hot water and a clean handkerchief. I'll cover it and let him breathe later."
"Okay," Yan Chen stood up.
Yan Chen wrung out the handkerchief and handed it to Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin lifted up his clothes and put the hot handkerchief on his chest. When Yan Chen saw it, he saw his son laughing and scolding, "You kid is so easy to take advantage of."
, you must know that your mother's place is your exclusive place, and now it has become your granary."
Xiang Jin gave him a bad look, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"
Yan Chen raised his head and glanced at her, "How can you talk nonsense? To tell the truth, but he is so young, how can he understand?"
Xiang Jin was speechless to him. She handed him the handkerchief that had become a little cold and said, "Immediate it again."
Yan Chen took the handkerchief and soaked it in hot water for a while, then wrung it out and handed it to Xiang Jin again. After the two repeated this several times, Xiang Jin picked up the child and put it in his arms.
inside.
The child opened his mouth and sucked in his food. Xiang Jin was a little uncomfortable at first, "Ah?!"
"What's wrong?" Yan Chen immediately asked nervously.
Xiang Jin said, "Your son is so strong that it actually hurts me."
The little guy opened his little mouth and squirmed and sucked in disobedience. After a while, he started crying. When Xiang Jin lowered his head and looked down, he immediately said in a disappointed voice, "Still not."
Yan Chen said, "I'll make milk powder for him."
Xiang Jin hugged her son and coaxed softly, "Oh, dear, don't cry, don't cry. Your dad is going to make some milk powder for you. It will be fine in a while. Mom also promises that I will try my best to let you have breast milk as soon as possible, okay?"
?”
Yan Chen quickly mixed the milk powder and brought it. When Xiang Jin handed the pacifier to his little mouth, the little guy opened his mouth and took the pacifier in his mouth, and then sucked hard.
It didn't take long to drink all the milk in the bottle.
Xiang Jin saw that he continued to accept the empty bottle, and after a few times he began to cry. Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "He doesn't seem to have enough."
Yan Chen also noticed it, so he stood up and took the bottle from Xiang Jin's hand and went to give him milk. The little guy was still crying non-stop, so Xiang Jin coaxed him, "Don't cry, don't
I'm crying, your dad went to cash it for you again and will be back soon."
Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "How much did you exchange for him just now?"
Yan Chen said, "I always give him the maximum amount of 30 ml according to the doctor's instructions."
Xiang Jin said, "Thirty milliliters is obviously not enough for your son?"
Yan Chen said, "I didn't expect this kid to eat so much. I fed him 30 ml in the previous meals, but he didn't even finish the 30 ml. Every time he only fed him 30 ml.
It looked like I had taken 25 or 6 milliliters."
Xiang Jin said, "It's probably because he's been napping for a long time this time and is hungry."
Yan Chen handed the reconstituted milk powder to Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin looked at it carefully and found that he had poured another ten milliliters. Xiang Jin put the pacifier to the child's mouth, and the child opened his mouth and took it.
, and then he sucked hard again. When there was only one or two mouthfuls left, he stopped eating, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Xiang Jin carefully took the pacifier out of his little mouth, and when he saw his little mouth squirming a few more times, Xiang Jin smiled unconsciously.
Yan Chen took the bottle from Xiang Jin's hand, then went into the bathroom to clean it, and then scalded it with boiling water several times. Finally, he took the little guy from Xiang Jin's arms and put it back to him.
little bed.
Xiang Jin was puzzled, "What are you doing?" She hadn't even hugged him enough.
Yan Chen asked, "You don't want to solve your son's food ration problem?"
Xiang Jin suddenly remembered what the doctor had told him before, that if their son failed to aspirate, he would have to ask his father to help.
"Oh," she responded in a low voice, a little embarrassed.
Yan Chen looked at her and smiled, "What's so embarrassing about this? We've done this all the time before?"
Xiang Jin glared at him again, "Go get water quickly?!"
The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up even more, "Don't worry, I'll massage you for a while first." After saying that, he got up and went outside to lock the door.
With Yan Chen's efforts, Xiang Jin and his family's little guy finally drank his mother's breast milk in the middle of the night. Once the little guy took it, he didn't spit it out for more than half an hour. He ate and slept at the same time.
That kind of.
Just when Xiang Jin was about to move away from him, his little mouth moved again and Yun started to suck. After he took a few mouthfuls, he stopped moving again. Yan Chen was afraid that he would affect Xiang Jin's rest, so he went to give him a flush.
I mixed some milk powder with it, but the little one refused to eat it.
Yan Chen said, "Oh, you actually dislike that brat!"
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, forget it, let him eat from me. Anyway, I'm not very sleepy at the moment."
Yan Chen put the bottle on the bedside table, and Xiang Jin asked, "Is breast milk so delicious?"
Yan Chen looked at her and smiled, "Would you like to squeeze some out for you to try?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't want to taste that?"
He watched his boy keep sucking his mother's breast milk, then he leaned into Xiang Jin's ear and smiled softly at her, "It tastes pretty good, with a slight sweetness."
Xiang Jin's face turned red and she didn't even dare to look at him. Yan Chen looked at her with curiosity and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.
Xiang Jin turned his head and looked at Yan Chen and said, "Oh, by the way, husband, what was the length and weight of our child when he was born?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "You just remembered to ask now? Don't worry, they are all very standard and normal length and weight. When he was born, he was 51.7 centimeters long and weighed 6.8 pounds. Doctor
He is said to be relatively tall among newborns."
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "That's good. When will you give him a name?"
Yan Chen said, "After we go home, grandma and grandma said they would take his birthday and horoscope to go to Lingguang Temple to find the abbot there to calculate whether his five elements are missing."
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen with a smile and said, "Do you believe this?"
Yan Chen said, "I don't really believe in this, but no matter what, it's their idea, so let's do it."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, but can you give our son a nicer name when you have time?"
"That's natural!" Yan Chen saw that their son was already asleep, so he took him out of Xiang Jin's arms and put him back on his crib. "Would you like some soup?"
?”
In the afternoon, several elders in the family brought them three thermos buckets, one of which contained food, and the other two contained tofu and fish soup.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
Their little one needs to drink breast milk, so she has to keep up with her nutrition, otherwise she won't have enough breast milk by then.
Xiang Jin asked, "Would you like to drink a little too?"
Yan Chen said, "I won't drink, I'm not hungry, you can drink."
Xiang Jin said, "The way I eat now, seven or eight meals a day, I guess I will have to lose weight after I am pregnant."
Yan Chen said, "What kind of weight should I lose? It's appropriate if I'm not fat."
Xiang Jin glanced at him angrily, "I'm not being honest. I weigh more than 130 pounds now, am I still not fat?"
Yan Chen said, "You're not fat. I'm serious. You are one hundred and three, and I can still hold you."
Xiang Jin asked, "Is it heavy?"
"No!"
Xiang Jin said, "No matter what, I will still have to increase my exercise intensity after my confinement, otherwise my body will be full of fat."
Yan Chen said, "As long as you don't go on a diet, anything will work."
Xiang Jin said, "I don't go on a diet. If I go on a diet, your son will have nothing to eat."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then I will exercise with you then."
Xiang Jin ate two bowls of tofu and fish soup in a row before lying back on the bed. After Yan Chen washed the dishes and came out, he said to him, "You should go to bed quickly. It will take him a few more hours."
Will wake up."
"Okay!" Yan Chen pushed the crib between their beds and then lay down on the other bed.
