Chapter 1074 Why should I go out?
Qin Ce originally wanted to hug the child, but when he reached out his hand, he froze.
Because he simply didn't know how to hold a child.
When Qiao Xing was pregnant, although the doctor had given him a lot of information about pregnancy, it was his first time being a father, and Qin Ce felt helpless in the face of such a tiny life.
Qiao Xing knew the baby was probably hungry, so she waited for Qin Ce to bring the baby to her so she could breastfeed.
But after waiting for a while, Qin Ce remained standing in the same spot, his face conflicted, as if he had no idea how to proceed.
Qiao Xing then realized that Qin Ce probably didn't know how to hold a child.
She said with a smile, "Er'er, look at your father, he won't even hold you."
Qiao Xing made a joke on purpose, and Qin Ce, listening to the child's crying, was even more at a loss as to what to do.
Just then, the nurse came in for rounds and saw the child crying, while her parents were chatting and laughing nearby.
She immediately said, "What's wrong with you parents? The baby is crying like this, why aren't you feeding her?"
Qiao Xing didn't help; she just quietly watched Qin Ce's expression.
Because Qin Ce always seemed to handle everything with ease, it was rare for him to look so troubled.
Unable to bear the child's crying, Qin Ce had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick him up.
His movements were very clumsy, as if he were holding not a child, but a hot potato.
Qin Ce tried his best not to let the child fall from his arms, and finally managed to pick her up, but was stopped by the nurse.
"Put the child down immediately! How can you hold a newborn like that? Many parts of a baby's body are not fully developed yet. You'll hurt the baby's bones if you hold them like that!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ce quickly put the child down.
He took two steps back, not daring to touch it again.
The nurse could tell from his appearance that he was a new father with no experience.
Because there are so many like him in the hospital, the nurses are already used to it.
The nurse carefully picked up the child and handed him to Qiao Xing.
She told Qiao Xing, "Many new parents don't know how to take care of their children the first time. These are things that need to be learned and experience is required. Take it slow."
Although Qiao Xing was laughing at Qin Ce, she herself was quite clumsy at breastfeeding. Luckily, a nurse was there to help.
The nurse guided Qiao Xing to use a more comfortable way to hold the baby while breastfeeding.
But before that, the nurse said to Qin Ce behind her, "The child's father, could you go out for a moment?"
Qin Ce asked, puzzled, "Why should I go out?"
He is Qiao Xing's husband and the father of her child. He is not an outsider, and there is nothing for him to avoid.
The nurse said, "I know you're her husband, but even in front of your closest family, you'll feel embarrassed about this. Everyone needs time to adjust. Not only when your baby's mother is breastfeeding, try not to have anyone watching, otherwise it will affect the mother's mental health."
Qiao Xing felt that the nurse had said everything she was thinking.
Although Qin Ce was her husband, and there was really nothing to hide about this, Qiao Xing inexplicably felt a sense of shame.
It felt as if she had no privacy or space at all. Even though there were only a few people in the ward, she still felt like she was being watched.
Qiao Xing even wondered if she was being a little too dramatic.
However, the nurse told Qiao Xing, "This is a very normal feeling. Many mothers don't want a lot of people standing around them when they are breastfeeding."
"After all, it's my first time being a mother, and there are many things I need to adapt to. Take it slow and don't be too anxious. Giving birth is a great thing, and there's no need to feel ashamed."
The nurse kindly explained many precautions to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing realized for the first time that giving birth was only the first step; there was still so much to do to raise such a tiny child.
However, Qiao Xing is still relatively lucky compared to most people.
Although Qin Ce wasn't very skilled at taking care of children, at least he would take good care of Qiao Xing.
They wouldn't look down on Qiao Xing just because she gave birth.
Those who have a vaginal delivery are generally better off, but those who have a cesarean section usually have difficulty moving around and need more care.
But there are actually very few men who care about their wives in every way, don't find fault with them, and stay by their side without ever leaving them.
The nurse stayed with Qiao Xing and chatted with her for a long time until the baby was full. After putting the baby in the crib, she called Qin Ce in from outside.
"The baby's condition is very stable now. Generally, babies who have a vaginal delivery stay in the hospital for three days, and if there are no problems, they can be discharged."
Qin Ce nodded to the nurse, "Thank you."
The nurse said, "You're welcome. You should take some time to learn how to take care of the baby. Usually, mothers are under a lot of pressure after giving birth, so the responsibility of taking care of the baby falls on the father."
After the nurse left, Qin Ce looked at his daughter sleeping peacefully and found it hard to imagine how he would get along with this little one in the future.
Qiao Xing asked with a smile, "Are you feeling a lot of pressure?"
Qin Ce said, "No, I'm just worried about myself, whether I can do the things that a father should do."
Qiao Xing could understand. After all, someone like Qin Ce would probably find it easy to negotiate contracts worth tens of millions.
But asking him to take care of the children would be too much of a burden for him.
But as the nurse said, the birth of a child is also a responsibility for parents.
Since you have chosen to bring him into this world, you must fulfill your responsibilities.
However, Qiao Xing felt that this was not a difficult thing for Qin Ce to learn.
After all, Qin Ce was quite clever.
After Qiao Xing fell asleep that night, Qin Ce quietly looked at Qiao Xing, and then looked at his daughter lying in the crib.
In fact, Qin Ce was happy from the moment the nurse told him that Qiao Xing had given birth to a daughter.
This is his and Qiao Xing's child. Just thinking about having a cute and mischievous daughter by his side, jumping and skipping, makes Qin Ce feel warm and fuzzy.
Qin Ce slowly reached out his hand, his fingertips gently touching his daughter's cheek.
The baby's face was so delicate and smooth that the moment Qin Ce's fingertips touched her skin, it felt as if something had struck him hard deep inside his heart.
This feeling is hard to describe.
He gently curved his lips into a smile and called out the child's name.
Er'er.
I am your father, Qin Ce. It's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to your guidance.
