Chapter 349: Breastfeeding
Luo Honglan hesitated for a moment, "Then I will ask my elder brother later and see what he says."
"Alright." Li Aihua didn't want to make Luo Zhiyong feel awkward, so she thought it would be good to let Luo Zhiyong handle the matter.
Although Zhou Yunmei was not a good person, she was after all the child's grandmother, and her wanting to see the child was natural human emotions.
Fang Pingying had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up, it was the next morning.
As soon as she woke up, she saw Luo Zhiyong looking down at her, softly asking, "Awake?"
"Uh-huh." Fang Pingying responded and immediately started looking around for the child. Not seeing the child in the room, she hurriedly asked, "Where is the child?"
Luo Zhiyong smiled and gently touched the stray hairs on her forehead, saying with a smile, "Mom and Hong Lan are holding them in the next nurse's room, afraid of disturbing your sleep."
"Has the child eaten anything?" At this moment, Fang Pingying's mind was completely focused on the child.
It can't be helped, once a woman's role changes, many things change as well.
"He had some formula milk." Luo Zhiyong looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, we are in the hospital, how could the child be starved."
"Don't feed the child formula milk, I will breastfeed myself." Although there had not been any issues with formula milk reported yet, Fang Pingying still felt that breastfeeding was the safest for the child.
"No rush, eat something first." Luo Zhiyong did not oppose her breastfeeding, but he did not immediately go to bring the child over. Instead, he picked up a thermos from the bedside table, poured some porridge from it into a bowl, and handed it to her, "Last night, mom watched the child here. Hong Lan cooked some porridge and stewed some pork ribs soup for you this morning, have something to eat first."
Once Luo Zhiyong said this, Fang Pingying really felt hungry. After washing up, she ate some food.
After eating, just then Li Aihua and Luo Honglan came back holding the child.
Seeing Fang Pingying awake, Li Aihua walked over with a smile holding the child, "Does your body still hurt? Let Doctor Zhou check you in a bit."
"It's okay, nothing serious," Fang Pingying said, but her eyes were fixed on the child in Li Aihua and Luo Honglan's hands.
Looking at the two adorable little ones, Fang Pingying didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment, but she was incredibly excited.
Carrying these two little ones had been full of peril, involving several hospital stays, but thankfully, they were eventually born safe and sound.
Because she felt such remorse for the children in her past life, this lifetime Fang Pingying vowed, no matter what difficulties she faced, she would always keep the two children by her side and ensure they grow up healthy.
Because the doctor recommended that during the postpartum confinement period, Fang Pingying should hold the babies as little as possible, Li Aihua didn't let her hold them, but just showed them to her.
The two little ones, as if they had a telepathic connection, started crying loudly as soon as they were close to their mother, with their mouths pounding, wanting to eat.
Li Aihua chuckled, "These two little ones are clever, they even recognize their mother's scent."
"Sister-in-law, is there milk? Feed the little ones first," Luo Honglan also placed the smaller one next to Fang Pingying, chiding, "This little one has quite the temper, and a loud voice too; when he starts crying, he seems like he could overturn the whole building."
"I think so; my chest feels a bit sore." Fang Pingying had experienced this in her past life, so she had experience this time too.
Li Aihua lifted up her clothes to check and confirmed it, then placed the child next to her and said softly, "Then feed the child."
Fang Pingying nodded, reached out to take the little one from Hong Lan's arms, and skillfully unbuttoned her shirt to breastfeed the child.
But she forgot one thing, because it was her first childbirth, it is not that easy for the baby to suckle the first time. The little one tried to suckle from Fang Pingying's breast for a long time but couldn't get any milk.
The little one couldn't get any milk and got anxious, its mouth puckered, and it started crying loudly.
Li Aihua, who had been through this, immediately knew what was going on. She glanced at Luo Zhiyong and suppressed a smile.
Then she asked Luo Honglan to pick up the child, took another one in her arms, and said they would go out first, but before leaving, she whispered in Fang Pingying's ear, "We'll take the children out for a walk, you let Zhiyong help you, to suckle the milk out."
Fang Pingying, having experienced this in her past life, naturally understood what it meant. Her face turned red, she glanced at Luo Zhiyong, and nodded to Li Aihua.
Li Aihua and Luo Honglan took the children out.
Fang Pingying called Luo Zhiyong over, wanting to talk to him about the breastfeeding issue.
But it was somewhat embarrassing, she struggled for a long time, not knowing how to bring it up.
Luo Zhiyong also knew nothing about these things. Seeing that the children had not yet fed and Li Aihua and Luo Honglan had left, he was puzzled. Seeing Fang Pingying looking at him, not speaking for a long time, he urged Fang Pingying, "What do you want to say? You're making me anxious."
Although they had been married for over a year now, and already had children, imagining that scene, Fang Pingying still found it hard to speak up.
But for the sake of the children, she gritted her teeth, her face slightly reddened, and said, "Your daughter can't suckle the milk, you help her suck it."
"What?" Luo Zhiyong somewhat understood what was happening. His eyes fell on Fang Pingying's increasingly plump chest due to the pregnancy. He swallowed hard and muttered, "Me suck?"
Fang Pingying glanced at him and said sternly, "Otherwise, who do you expect will do it?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Luo Zhiyong approached her, lifting her shirt, his gaze shifted to Fang Pingying's soft white breasts, his body tensed up. He struggled to hold back for a long time before reluctantly asking in a suppressed voice, "How to do it?"
"How would I know, I haven't tried it, you figure it out yourself." Fang Pingying also didn't know exactly what to do, she just gave him a shy smile, "If you can't, let a nurse come later to teach you."
Luo Zhiyong felt that having a nurse come over might make the situation even more awkward, he immediately said, "No, I'll do it myself."
It wasn't really a difficult task, and Luo Zhiyong managed to get the milk out for his daughter quite easily.
But for a Battalion Commander Luo, who had not touched his wife for many months and had been holding himself back, it was indeed a bittersweet task.
After he managed to get the milk out for the child, his body started heating up, his face also slightly reddened. Thinking that Li Aihua and the others would bring the children back in, he looked for an excuse to leave, "I'll go ask the doctor when we can be discharged, you feed the children first."
After saying that, he hastily rushed out of the room.
Fang Pingying watched his retreating figure, suddenly remembered something, and started to smile.
Outside the door, Li Aihua and the others saw Luo Zhiyong leave and immediately brought the children in.
Now two little ones could feed, one on each side, so happy. (To be continued. If you like this piece, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
