"Opening milk is a professional term used by lactation consultants, and it also means that the baby drinks breast milk for the first time."
Wang Youyou explained patiently.
In her previous life, her mother was a nurse. Later, she went out on her own and opened several confinement centers.
She started learning how to take care of mothers and babies in a confinement center when she was fifteen or sixteen years old.
She failed to pass the undergraduate entrance exam and instead studied Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing. Later, through an introduction, she became a kindergarten teacher.
Before traveling through time, she went out for a study tour with her students. A naughty student fell into the river while playing. When she went to rescue him, there happened to be a flood on the mountain. She was washed away by the flood and rushed here.
But it’s good to be here, she can still continue to live.
Although her living conditions were a little poor, she had hands and feet, and one day she would be able to live a carefree and free life like in her previous life.
This time Cao Xuemei understood what lactation promotion meant, but she didn't understand what a lactation consultant was.
But she was too embarrassed to ask further.
She was from Taohua Village and was introduced to Shitou Village and married there.
As soon as she got married, she heard rumors about Wang Youyou.
Rumor has it that Wang Youyou only graduated from junior high school and has been farming at home.
She couldn't understand how Wang Youyou knew so much.
Wang Youyou patted the baby to sleep and naturally put the baby on the bed.
The baby is very well behaved. He doesn't cry or make a fuss when he is put down and sleeps quietly.
This kind of baby is the easiest to take care of.
"Good boy! Sleep well!" She couldn't help but praise.
After saying that, she pulled the quilt over and covered the baby with it considerately.
Seeing that she really liked children, Cao Xuemei joked, "Sister-in-law Youyou, you and your elder brother should work harder and have a baby next year!"
Lu Xingfei was standing at the door, ready to tell Cao Xuemei that the mugwort water was ready, but when he heard this, he swallowed the words back.
He was very curious and wanted to hear Wang Youyou's answer.
Wang Youyou smiled brightly and said casually, "Xuemei, you are good at talking, but I don't want to have a baby so early. Nowadays, people are advocating late marriage and late childbirth!"
Hearing this, Lu Xingfei felt relieved.
He knocked on the door and asked, "Xuemei, I've made the mugwort water. Do you want me to pour it out for you now?"
"Wait a moment!" Wang Youyou walked out while speaking.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Xingfei standing upright at the door, looking like a young leader entering the village. He had no smile on his face, and one hand was resting on his lower back.
But if you look closely at his face and meet his clear eyes, you will be struck by his elegant and gentle temperament.
Anyone who looks at him for more than a few seconds will be captivated by his looks.
"I'm helping Xuemei with something private. Don't come in, and don't let anyone in."
"What?"
"It's quick as a woman's business."
Wang Youyou gave him a secret smile and locked the door.
Lu Xingfei's face was full of confusion.
This Wang Youyou is so mysterious, what is he doing?
Wang Youyou found two towels and whispered to Cao Xuemei, "Xuemei, take off your shirt and lie down. I'll help you stimulate your milk production."
When Cao Xuemei heard that she had to take off her clothes, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment and she asked awkwardly, "Do you want to take them off?"
Wang Youyou found a small stool and sat in front of the bed, looking at her with affirmation.
"Yes! We have to take off all our clothes. We are all women. I have what you have. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Come on!"
As she spoke, she was about to help Cao Xuemei undress.
Cao Xuemei was so embarrassed that her head was buzzing. She could only bite the bullet, undress, lie down, and turn her face away.
She was really embarrassed to look at Wang Youyou.
Wang Youyou's movements were very gentle. He covered her belly with a towel and placed another towel on the bed, then began to help her with breast duct clearance.
"Does it hurt when you press me with such force?" she asked softly.
"It doesn't hurt." Cao Xuemei shook her head.
So this is what lactation is. She was really enlightened. She had never heard of it before.
While pressing, Wang Youyou encouraged her: "You have milk, but not much. Let the baby suck for two more days. If you drink more clear soup, you will have more milk."
At this time, mothers are most likely to lose confidence in feeding and need more encouragement and praise.
Thinking of this, she added, "Look, this little bit of yellow milk is your colostrum. It is very precious. The baby should suck it slowly. She will be able to absorb it."
When Cao Xuemei heard that there was milk and the baby could still suck it, she happily turned around, looked shyly at Wang Youyou, and asked, "Really?"
Wang Youyou said in a very affirmative tone: "Really, in a couple of days your milk will slowly swell. It looks like you will have so much milk that the baby won't be able to finish it all."
With these words, Cao Xuemei gained confidence.
She believed she would have enough milk to feed her daughter.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Youyou helped her complete the breast duct clearance.
And reminded: "You may feel a little pain tomorrow, but it's okay."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Cao Xuemei smiled, but felt a little embarrassed to say other words of thanks.
She now feels full of confidence and relaxed both physically and mentally.
Cao Xuemei was also very happy that Wang Youyou could help her.
As she put the towel away, she said, "You're welcome. When you take a shower later, remember to cover yourself with hot water."
After saying that, she had to call Lu Xingfei to pour out the mugwort water for Cao Xuemei to take a bath.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Lu Xingfei wiping the table in the living room.
He's a grown man, and quite hardworking!
"Is it done?" Lu Xingfei immediately asked with concern.
