Chapter 1281 Guidance
Mrs. Han Wu, who had just seen her son and felt satisfied, suddenly turned pale and couldn't help crying out in pain. Nanny Li, who was standing by, jumped up in fright.
Manbao quickly said to her: "It's okay, I'll press it to make her feel better."
Mrs. Han Wu was already more sensitive than most people and couldn't stand the pain at all. She couldn't help crying after Manbao pressed her for only the second time. Nanny Li quickly comforted her, "Third Madam, you can't cry during confinement. Be careful not to damage your eyes."
Mrs. Han Wu tried to hold it back, but in the end, she couldn't hold it back anymore. Tears welled up in her eyes and she shook her head, saying, "No, it hurts too much, it hurts too much. Doctor Zhou, please stop pressing."
Manbao withdrew his hand, looked at her sympathetically and said, "It's okay, you take a break first, I'll press it again later."
She had also tried this on an anthropomorphic model, but it didn't give any feedback, only changes in its body functions. However, she had read in a book that this method was slightly painful.
She also felt it was just a slight pain at first, but after she was sutured just now, she thought, the uterus was sutured at the bottom, so how could pressing the fundus of the uterus be just a slight pain?
Based on this, Manbao was very thoughtful and did not continue pressing. Instead, he decided to take it slow and steady, pressing it twice at a time, and then pressing it a few more times.
Koko felt that if Han Wu Niang knew what she was thinking, she would definitely regret crying out in pain at this moment.
Manbao is a doctor who cares a lot about her patients. So when she saw that she was in so much pain and she had nothing to do, she decided to think about acupuncture.
So after pressing back and forth several times, seeing that Han Wu Niang could no longer bear the pain, she took out her needle bag and tentatively gave her acupuncture to relieve the pain...
Han Wu Niangzi's complexion improved a little. Nanny Li brought the child over and whispered, "Third Madam, I'm taking the child to the wet nurse to feed him."
Manbao took one look and immediately said, "The child is a little weak, why don't you try feeding him yourself for the first two months?"
Mrs. Han Wu was slightly stunned. "Me?"
Manbao nodded and said, "Mother's colostrum is better for the baby. How long has your wet nurse been employed?"
Mrs. Han Wu said nothing. The only women chosen to be wet nurses were those who had already given birth. She looked at her son and said helplessly, "But I don't know how to feed him."
Manbao: "I can do it. I'll teach you."
Nanny Li turned her head and looked at Manbao, who was still wearing a young lady's hairstyle, without saying a word.
Mrs. Han Wu didn't think about all this. She clumsily picked up the child and looked at Manbao.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "You have to wipe it with warm water and let the child suck it himself."
Nanny Li: "...That's not good. We need to start breastfeeding first."
Manbao: "Oh, the child will help her open it. My mother said that the first thing a child learns after birth is to open his mouth to cry and eat."
But Nanny Li thought that this was the way poor families did things. Who in a small family wouldn't first have a bowl of milk-inducing food, then produce milk, and then feed the child?
But for a wealthy family like theirs, the headmistress doesn't need to feed the children herself.
Even if it was Zhou Man's suggestion, Nanny Li didn't recommend that Han Wu Niang feed the baby herself. She had just had a caesarean section and it was a miracle that she could wake up, talk, and sit up from the bed. Why did she have to feed the baby herself?
She felt that the Third Wife was being treated too unfairly.
Manbao told Han Wuniangzi, "After you start breastfeeding, your uterus will contract, reducing bleeding. Not only will you recover faster, it will also be good for the baby."
She listed various benefits, which made Han Wuniang even more tempted.
Nanny Li said unhappily, "Doctor Zhou, you don't know since you've never given birth. Feeding a child is very hard work. If the child gets a little older, he'll be very strong and will bite you."
"It's okay. Don't you have a wet nurse? In a month or two, when Madam Han Wu is out of confinement and her wounds have healed, and the baby is growing steadily, you can let the wet nurse feed him."
Matron Li: "...Our Fifth Lady had recovered by then, but you didn't let her feed her?"
Manbao: "...They said it was for colostrum, and also to balance your Fifth Lady's yin and yang, so that she can recover faster after giving birth."
Nanny Li was shocked. "Our Fifth Lady is injured now and we have to breastfeed? This, this..."
Manbao was speechless for a while, then turned to look at Han Wu Niangzi, "So do you believe me or her?"
Deep down, Han Wu Niang naturally believed in Manbao more, but she didn't show it right away. Instead, she looked at Li Ma Ma apologetically and asked Manbao in a low voice, "Will you give him milk if you feed him?"
Manbao nodded, "My eldest sister and sisters-in-law all fed me this way, and they became pregnant naturally. You can give it a try. I also know a recipe for milk production."
Nanny Li watched the two of them talk and make a decision, and then Manbao asked the servants to bring a basin of hot water.
Mrs. Han Wu endured the pain and turned half around to undress and feed the child. Her little face was flushed with shyness.
Nanny Li finally sighed and came forward to help, teaching her how to hold the baby...
The baby's mouth moved, initially clumsily, but then it became more flexible and a little stronger. Perhaps because it couldn't suck milk, it hummed anxiously twice. Madam Han Wu felt a strange sensation in her heart, and then she felt that the baby had sucked something...
The child gradually calmed down. Mrs. Han Wu looked at the baby in her arms and finally felt at ease. She raised her head and looked at Manbao, "This is my son."
Manbao nodded, "Yes, it's yours."
By the time Li Sanlang found out, Han Wu Niangzi had already fed the baby. He scratched his head in confusion, "She can now feed the baby? So she's well now?"
Nanny Li said with a complicated expression, "Doctor Zhou said it's still too early and we have to wait three days. But feeding the baby is good for the Third Madam, it's a good thing."
What good thing is this?
How can someone work so hard to feed a child when they are injured?
Unfortunately, they didn't understand even after Manbao explained it to them, but Manbao suggested that since Han Wu Niang was willing, they couldn't stop her.
So, the news that Han Wu Niang was personally feeding the child less than two hours after she had her caesarean section spread throughout the Li Mansion in an instant.
The ladies in the Li Mansion, who had already been sent away by Madam Han, could not help but come to the yard to inquire, wanting to see the Fifth Madam with their own eyes.
Every time they gave birth, they were in excruciating pain.
If laparotomy is easier than natural childbirth...
I heard that Han Wu Niang was drowsy when she had her abdomen opened to take the baby out, and she didn't feel anything at all. The whole process from the operation to the delivery took less than half a minute.
Half a quarter of an hour? Who doesn’t take several hours to give birth?
When I had my first child, the pain lasted a whole day and night, but Han Wu Niang only took half a minute to resolve it?
Even Mrs. Han, who watched the whole process, was affected and fell into deep thought until she saw how Manbao pressed her sister's belly to make her have lochia.
Then her sister wanted to eat something, but Manbao stopped her. If she was really hungry, she could just drink some warm water, nothing more.
Madam Han finally understood why Zhou Man stayed. If it were them, they would definitely not be able to stop Madam Han Wu who wanted to eat.
See you at 6pm
