Chapter 4 The Doll is Hungry
A little baby lying beside her was crying loudly, the noise so intense it made her head hurt.
"No, no, don’t cry!" Jiang Xue looked at the endlessly crying little baby beside her, feeling somewhat helpless. Although she had lived another lifetime, she had rarely taken care of a child in her past life.
She remembered clearly that after her son was born, she had directly handed him over to her mother-in-law and father-in-law, becoming a hands-off manager herself. She hadn’t even fed the child once, let alone anything else.
So, when she heard the child’s cries now, she had no idea how to handle it.
While Jiang Xue was feeling helpless, her mother-in-law Bai Yuhua put down the yarn in her hands, stood up, looked at the little baby, and said, "He’s probably hungry."
"Hungry?" Jiang Xue was a bit stunned; hadn’t the child just been born? How could he be hungry so soon? She didn’t recall this happening in her previous life.
"Yes, hungry." Bai Yuhua chuckled, then turned to get a cup, put a spoonful of brown sugar in it, mixed it with warm water, and then picked up the child to sit on the chair. Then she took the cup and fed the child a bit at a time using a spoon.
After a few sips, the child indeed stopped crying. Jiang Xue watched, finding it rather wondrous, and couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, isn’t the baby supposed to have milk?"
At this, Bai Yuhua laughed and looked up at Jiang Xue, saying, "Babies do require milk, but you haven’t lactated yet, right? So, just let him drink some sugar water, and when your dad buys the formula, he can have that."
"Lactate?" Jiang Xue was stunned again. She had always thought milk would come naturally after childbirth, but it turned out not to be the case.
