Chapter 252 - 50 Triplets_2
"Really," Lin Xiaoguai nodded, "It’s just that the taste might not be very good, and I don’t know if Sister Li Qin will be able to stomach it. If it works, I’ll make it at home every day and bring it to the hospital."
After a pause, "And breast milk is the most nourishing. I’ve seen a premature baby in the Capital who stayed in an incubator for over half a month and didn’t gain an ounce, but after being taken care of at home for a week, the baby gained over a pound. It’s not that the hospital care is bad, but the baby isn’t theirs; how could they possibly provide care as diligently as the parents?"
Lin Xiaoguai had always disapproved of putting newborns into incubators, mainly because in her past life, she had encountered two not-so-good examples: one child, whose parents were both very smart, inexplicably grew up a bit slow-witted; another, whose parents were both articulate, developed a severe stutter, making speech so difficult it left others gasping for air.
Perhaps there was no scientific basis, but once a prejudice was formed, it was hard to change.
These words struck right at Zhou Fengqin’s heart. Indeed, it’s frustrating when you’re not allowed to care for a sick child yourself; how could she feel at ease?
"Wanwan, is that medicine really useful?"
"Of course it is. Many wealthy families in the Capital raise their premature babies that way." Lin Xiaoguai said this to mislead; that prescription was exorbitantly expensive, with the cost of the herbs alone running into several million Gold Coins. She couldn’t bear to spend so much money on unrelated people. And Little Niangao wasn’t considered premature at the time, so it wasn’t used for him.
When Zhou Fengqin heard that the wealthy in the Capital used this medicine, she was immediately convinced, "Alright, then let Li Qin take this medicine. I’ll go talk to the hospital. If they don’t let me take the child out, I’ll bring both mother and child back home."
