Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Dashan persisted through the night, finally making it to daytime.

During the day it was Kang Yi's turn to watch the child.

Wang Dashan hurried to the bed to catch up on sleep.

Result: he only dozed for a short while before the child outside started crying again.

He had no choice but to hurriedly get up and go out to check the situation:

"What's wrong, what's wrong, why is he crying again?"

Kang Yi said:

"The child is hungry, I'm preparing formula right now, you hold him for a bit, once I finish the formula you can go rest."

Wang Dashan nodded busily.

He picked up the child, but the child still cried non-stop.

The crying grew sharper and sharper.

Wang Dashan could only rock the child while holding him, and only then did the child quiet down slightly.

But Kang Yi said:

"Baby's dad, don't rock him. If he gets used to being rocked, then later for soothing emotions, sleeping, everything will require rocking, and it'll be very troublesome. Additionally, rocking too hard isn't good for his brain development — the baby's brain is still very fragile."

Wang Dashan was speechless:

"Then how should I coax him?"

Kang Yi said:

"Just hold him and walk around for a bit."

Wang Dashan held the child and walked back and forth, but the effect was minimal.

"No good, Kang Yi, is the formula ready yet?"

"Almost done, almost done, don't rush."

"Really can't rock him?"

"Indeed not recommended to rock, and your wife also specifically instructed about this, be patient. Otherwise you come prepare the formula."

Kang Yi hurriedly put down the baby bottle, then came over and took the child into her arms.

She only held him a short while, and the child stopped crying.

It really is miraculous.

Wang Dashan shook the milk in the baby bottle, asking:

"How do you know when this milk is shaken well enough?"

Kang Yi said:

"Shake until you can't see granules anymore, completely dissolved, then it's ready."

At this moment Wang Dashan noticed the bottle warmer on the side:

"Isn't there a bottle warmer over there? Why not use it?"

Kang Yi said:

"Can use it, but the bottle warmer takes longer to shake. In urgent situations I always hand-shake, like right now — the child is crying too hard, hand-shaking is still a bit faster."

"Oh oh... I see..."

Wang Dashan finished shaking the formula.

Kang Yi then began teaching him how to feed the baby.

Sit on the sofa, step on a specialized adjustable nursing chair, then hold the child at a slant.

"After shaking the formula, you have to let it sit a bit to release air, otherwise the baby swallows too much air, prone to burping. Also when feeding, the pacifier's air vent must face upward."

Kang Yi fed the child while teaching Wang Dashan some little tricks.

Let the child drink for a short while, emotions calmed, then handed him to Wang Dashan, letting Wang Dashan feed.

Wang Dashan fed the child, could only sit like this, head lowered watching the child, bored and wanting to play with his mobile phone.

But he could only endure, because he knew, looking at the phone while feeding isn't a good habit. If he choked the child, that would be bad.

Finally managed to finish feeding.

Still can't just put the child in the baby crib, have to burp him.

"Like this, turn him over, buttocks up, legs pressing on the belly, then use hollow palm, gently pat his back, in a moment he'll burp."

Kang Yi demonstrated, then handed the child to Wang Dashan to burp.

Wang Dashan patted for a while, but the child still hadn't burped.

Making him suspect for a moment whether there really was air in the child's belly?

Result: Kang Yi took over and patted a few times, and the child actually let out a long burp.

Wang Dashan was quite speechless about this.

Why can't he pat it out?

Why does Kang Yi pat it out so easily just by switching?

He asked Kang Yi:

"Is there any method to let him burp on his own without burping him?"

Kang Yi said with a smile:

"There is, it just depends on whether you're willing. You hold him vertically, press his belly with your shoulder, walk back and forth in the room for a while, he'll burp too, but that's not a good habit. Right now he's not very heavy, holding him vertically and walking back and forth is still easy, but when he's ten or twenty jin, you still have to hold him vertically and walk, that'll be exhausting."

Wang Dashan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He hadn't slept well last night, he was a bit tired.

The baby finished drinking milk, and before long was fussing to sleep again.

Wang Dashan had Kang Yi soothe the baby to sleep, he went to the room to rest for a bit.

The baby was quickly soothed to sleep by Kang Yi.

But Wang Dashan couldn't fall asleep.

He was actually very tired, but the baby was very noisy when fussing to sleep, only after the baby fell asleep could he quietly rest for a bit.

But he wasn't the kind of person who falls asleep the moment he closes his eyes.

He needed half an hour to an hour to ease into sleep.

As he was easing into it, just about to fall asleep, the baby had already woken up.

This time the baby woke up, but didn't cry much.

But Kang Yi was outside doing exercises with the baby, played some music, and the noise ruined his sleepiness completely.

Wang Dashan wanted Du Xiaojuan to come back.

But he was too embarrassed to say it.

It hasn't even been two days, and he's already surrendered, that's too useless, right?

No matter what, he had to persist for a week!

Wang Dashan thought so in his inner heart.

He felt he had a will like steel, he could endure the hardship of being a soldier, what hardship could he not endure?

Could taking care of a baby be as hard as training in the army?

He just didn't believe this evil!

And at this time, the other side.

Du Xiaojuan hadn't slept well for too long.

So last night she fell asleep early, slept straight through to noon today before waking up.

After waking up she felt trouble was coming.

Because she didn't get up to pump last night, now it's painfully engorged.

Felt like those two things were just like stones!

She hurriedly went to use the breast pump to pump.

It just wouldn't work.

The blocked spots, the breast pump sucked but it was useless.

Her head started sweating a bit.

Measured with a thermometer, thirty-seven point four, a slight fever.

She originally wanted to call Wang Dashan over, take him to the postpartum center for lactation consultation.

But thinking about it, forget it.

If she told him, he might think she was overreacting.

So she hurriedly contacted the postpartum center's door-to-door lactation service.

It's a bit more expensive, but doesn't matter.

Du Xiaojuan felt, as long as money can solve the problem, those are all small problems.

Problems money can't solve, those are the big problems.

Half an hour later, the lactation consultant arrived at the door.

Worked on Du Xiaojuan for a good while, only then did Du Xiaojuan feel a bit relieved.

"Your milk supply is still quite a lot, at least every six hours you have to pump once, otherwise it's easy to get blocked ducts. How long since you last pumped this time?"

"After falling asleep past nine last night, until waking up at noon today, didn't pump at all."

"My goodness, you can really endure, didn't the pain wake you up in the middle of the night? Speaking of which, where's your husband? Why didn't he remind you to pump at night?"

The lactation consultant looked completely surprised.

Du Xiaojuan dry-laughed, said honestly:

"Switched him to that side to take care of the baby, I came back alone last night to rest."

Then she also said:

"Actually last night I slept in a daze, felt the engorgement, but was really too sleepy, so didn't get up."

The lactation consultant said:

"Next time you can't do this, no matter how sleepy you have to get up in the middle of the night to pump once, otherwise it'll cause mastitis."

Du Xiaojuan sighed, she really had been exhausted by the ordeal.

So she said:

"How about we just wean now, stop breastfeeding."
