He looked at the child, who was smaller than his palm, somewhat at a loss, and didn't know how to hold him.
Originally, Li Xiaotao's attention was focused on the child, but now, seeing him gesturing with his hands but not daring to hold him, she chuckled softly, feeling a slight pain as she pulled at the wound on her stomach.
Lin Zao and Hua Nanxing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Han Qingyuan looked embarrassed and became increasingly flustered.
Helpless, Lin Zao walked over, picked up the child, and handed him the baby, even instructing him on the correct position.
Finally, he sat down in the chair, carefully holding the child in his lap with one hand, bending over to form a circle around him, ensuring there was no danger whatsoever.
Looking at him, who remained motionless in that position, and then at his empty left arm, tears welled up in Li Xiaotao's eyes.
It's happiness, it's heartache.
Seeing Li Xiaotao like this, Lin Zao quickly interrupted her, saying that one shouldn't be sad and cry during postpartum confinement.
"Xiao Tao, let Miss Hua take a look at you."
Hua Nanxing sat on the edge of the bed, placed Li Xiaotao's hand on the pulse pillow, and took her pulse while asking her about her physical condition.
A moment later, she put away the pulse pillow and began to examine the wound on Li Xiaotao's abdomen.
After a short while, Hua Nanxing finished his diagnosis.
"Mrs. Han is recovering very well, and her wound is not infected. She just needs to continue taking the tonic medicine I prescribed yesterday."
As for the wound, there's hemostatic powder left by Dr. Zhang; just change it regularly.
"I'll come back and remove the stitches after Mrs. Han's wound has healed in a while."
The sutures used in their Great Medicine Valley are all specially treated and sterilized sheep gut sutures. This method was taught to their ancestors by the Celestial Master a thousand years ago.
Hearing Hua Nanxing's words, Han Qingyuan and Lin Zao finally felt relieved; it was good that nothing had happened.
"Thank you, Dr. Hua!"
Han Qingyuan looked at her gratefully. If it weren't for her and the other renowned doctors, his wife and child might have...
Hua Nanxing smiled and shook his head.
Lin Zao thought of the child's thin and small appearance, "Miss Hua, could you please take another look at the child?"
Hua Nanxing looked at the child and said, "I know what you're worried about. I saw the child yesterday. Although he was premature, apart from being a little thin, he's fine in every other way."
Seeing their happy expressions, she continued:
"As long as you take good care of her and have enough breast milk, she will be able to grow up like a normal baby in six months."
Looking at Li Xiaotao's thin appearance, Lin Zao realized that she probably didn't have much breast milk, and since she had a C-section, it seemed they would have to find two wet nurses for the baby.
In ancient times, many noble and wealthy families hired wet nurses for their children, while ordinary people fed their children themselves.
In Lin Zao's memory, she fed Hu Tou and Ya Ya herself. She had very little breast milk at the time, and it was not easy for the two children to survive.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Hua."
Seeing that Li Xiaotao and her son were both alright, Lin Zao finally felt relieved and saw Hua Nanxing out.
When Lin Zao returned to Li Xiaotao's room, the couple were looking at their child with silly smiles on their faces.
"By the way, have you decided on a name for the baby?"
name?
Li Xiaotao suddenly realized, "Oh right, husband, is our child a boy or a girl?"
Han Qingyuan froze, then thought back carefully; it seemed he didn't even know the child's gender...
Seeing the two of them, Lin Zao knew that these newly appointed parents hadn't yet figured out whether their child was a boy or a girl.
She looked at them with amusement, raised an eyebrow and said, "Congratulations, sworn brother, on the birth of your precious child!"
