Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

She originally thought that as long as she had Wang Dashan take care of the child, she would be able to get a good night's sleep.

She never expected that she would still have to wake up in the middle of the night.

This made Du Xiaojuan somewhat dejected.

So in a fit of pique, she didn't want to use breast milk to feed the child anymore.

Anyway, it's mixed feeding now, and the child doesn't reject formula either.

The Lactation Consultant advised her:

"You need to consider this clearly. If you take weaning medicine, you won't be able to feed the child breast milk ever again."

Then she said:

"I suggest you wait until the child is six months old before weaning. The child is almost two months old now, so there's only four months left. Persist a bit, endure a bit, and it'll pass quickly. If you truly didn't want to breastfeed, you should have taken weaning medicine right when the baby was born, which would have saved a lot of trouble. Now that breast milk accounts for half, giving up halfway is more loss than gain. Besides, even if you take weaning medicine, the milk won't disappear at once. For at least the next half month, you'll still have to pump on schedule."

Hearing the Lactation Consultant put it that way, Du Xiaojuan wavered again.

The Lactation Consultant said further:

"Also, breastfed children have better immunity and don't get sick easily. Formula doesn't have immunoglobulins. If the child gets sick, you'll probably be even more worn out."

Du Xiaojuan sighed:

"Alright then, I'll persist a bit longer."

After seeing the Lactation Consultant off, Du Xiaojuan put the milk she had pumped into milk storage bags, then took out the milk she had pumped before going to sleep last night from the refrigerator, and brought them all together to the baby's side.

She put on thick clothes, wrapped herself up tightly, and even wore a postpartum cap on her head before heading out the door.

Because she knew that if she caught wind during the postpartum period, she might develop a chronic illness later.

Postpartum illness is the hardest to treat.

Arriving at the rented large flat apartment, Du Xiaojuan pushed the door open and went in.

She saw only Aunt Kang in the living room taking care of the baby.

No sign of Wang Dashan.

Du Xiaojuan became somewhat unhappy:

"Aunt Kang, where's my husband?"

Aunt Kang answered honestly:

"He's resting in the bedroom."

Du Xiaojuan directly pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.

"Wang Dashan, what are you resting for in broad daylight?"

Wang Dashan climbed up from the bed with a face full of fatigue:

"I didn't sleep well last night. Can't I rest for a bit now?"

Du Xiaojuan spoke sarcastically:

"It's just taking care of a child. What a simple thing. I see you're just spoiling him!"

"You..." Wang Dashan felt as if stabbed by a knife, losing all face, yet unable to refute anything.

Du Xiaojuan also said:

"You've only had it for one night, so don't complain to me. Ever since your son Wang Dujin was born, I've persisted like this every single night!"

Wang Dashan felt stifled inside, yet had nothing to say.

Du Xiaojuan put the breast milk she brought into the refrigerator to chill.

Then she checked the feeding record and asked Aunt Kang about the baby's condition.

Learning there was nothing special, she felt reassured.

Then she instructed Aunt Kang:

"When feeding breast milk, you must have Wang Dashan do the feeding."

Aunt Kang laughed and said:

"Now the breast milk is all pumped out and fed with a baby bottle. Me doing it works too, right? There's a fixed breast milk feeding in the middle of the night now."

Du Xiaojuan said:

"I just want him to feed that one meal. I haven't even made him put the baby to sleep with milk yet. He's only just started."

The corner of Wang Dashan's mouth twitched slightly.

He knew Du Xiaojuan was retaliating against him.

But he couldn't say anything.

He could only think silently in his heart that he must grit his teeth and persist for seven days, absolutely cannot let Du Xiaojuan look down on him!

"I'll feed then I'll feed. Isn't it just getting up once at night?"

Wang Dashan said with a hard mouth.

Du Xiaojuan said further:

"Soothing to sleep, changing diapers, these tasks you should learn too. I only hired Aunt Kang to live in for one month. Before long she'll have to leave. Before she leaves, you must learn all the childcare skills!"

Wang Dashan said:

"Rest assured about this. I've already learned about seventy to eighty percent!"

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"I hope you can still be this confident in a few days!"

Then she said again:

"Nothing else, then I'll head back first."

Wang Dashan curled his lip:

"You just got here and you're leaving, you don't want to take a few more looks at your own kid?"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"I overslept last night and got a blocked duct, I still have a bit of a fever now, I need to go back and rest properly."

Wang Dashan pulled a long face:

"Alright alright, then you go rest, I'll handle things here just fine!"

After Du Xiaojuan left, Wang Dashan handed the kid over to Aunt Kang to look after again.

He went back to the Bedroom to lie down, very tired, but couldn't fall asleep, so he just lay there playing on his Mobile Phone.

At this moment Kang Yi knocked on the door and came in:

"Baby's Dad, we need to give the baby a bath this Afternoon, do you want to learn how to bathe him?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly got up:

"Sure!"

So he followed Kang Yi over to the Bathroom.

There's a Baby Bath Tub here specifically for bathing the baby.

Kang Yi ran water with the Water Heater while explaining to Wang Dashan:

"The Infant's Skin is quite delicate, the bath water must not be too hot, 38 to 40 degrees is fine, you feel this water temperature, follow this temperature from now on, if you really can't gauge it, use this Thermometer to measure, this is the Thermometer your wife bought specifically for measuring the baby's bath water temperature."

Wang Dashan touched the water temperature, and couldn't help but frown:

"This is barely warm, washing with such cool water, won't the baby catch a cold?"

Kang Yi said:

"He won't, as long as you don't bathe him too long, he won't!"

After filling the bath water, she then took some pre-soaked Honeysuckle Water and poured it into the Baby Bath Tub.

"Using Honeysuckle Water to bathe the Infant is good for the Skin, makes it less likely to get rashes."

Kang Yi took off the Infant's Clothes and started bathing the Infant.

While washing, she also instructed:

"You can put the Infant in the Baby Bath Tub, but don't soak too long, best not to exceed Three Minutes, soaking too long is actually bad for the Infant."

Wang Dashan looked exhausted, listening in a daze.

He nodded absent-mindedly.

Kang Yi continued bathing the Infant:

"Don't use Baby Body Wash too Frequently, actually not using Baby Body Wash is also okay, the Infant isn't dirty, just the nooks and crannies need cleaning, if you use Baby Body Wash, once every few days is fine."

Wang Dashan nodded.

Kang Yi demonstrated to Wang Dashan again, the order of bathing the Infant, first wipe the face, then wash the hair, then wash the body, in a few quick moves, in under Two Minutes, it was done.

Then she dried the water off the Infant's body with a dry towel.

Placed him on the Diaper Changing Station, applied various Body Lotions on the Infant.

"After bathing, you must pay attention to moisturizing the Infant, so apply Body Lotion a bit more generously, Additionally the Neck, hand folds, Foot folds these places, need frequent attention, if they get red, or if they get chafed it's bad, so apply Calamine Lotion, keep them dry."

Wang Dashan interrupted at this point:

"Wait, Aunt Kang, you just said to pay attention to moisturizing, then you say the Neck, hand folds and such need to be kept dry? Isn't that a Contradiction?"

Kang Yi smiled and said:

"It's not a Contradiction, the Skin needs moisturizing, otherwise it's prone to rashes, the wrinkled folds need to be kept dry, otherwise they get chafed, you're still a novice so not understanding is normal, once you handle the baby yourself for a few days you'll know."

Wang Dashan Complained In Heart, how come raising a kid has so many tricks to it?
