Chapter 157 Maternity Savior
Chapter 157 Maternity Savior
After the environment improved, Tang Qiu began to check the mother and the baby. The mother was very young and had good recovery ability, so there was no major problem. She just didn't have much milk and needed to drink milk powder.
Tang Qiu looked at it and saw that it was not a problem of the mother, so he did not correct it excessively.
There was no problem with food either. It was obvious that this family was very caring towards the mother. Therefore, Tang Qiu only cooked a pot of medicinal soup at their home for the mother to drink. He also taught the recipe of the medicinal soup to the child's grandmother, asking her to cook it for the mother once or twice a week. There was no problem with anything else.
After there was no problem with the child's mother, Tang Qiu began to look at this messy child.
There are red rashes and prickly heat on his body, calluses on his head, and a large red patch on his butt. It would be strange if this child didn't make trouble.
In addition, the child also had diarrhea, but the jaundice did not seem serious.
"If the mother doesn't bathe, how can she not bathe the baby too? Also, it's just autumn now, and it's not that cold yet. How can the baby not be kept warm? It's good for the baby to be like this now. If he gets dehydrated and hot, you won't have anywhere to cry. Look, the father is still wearing short sleeves, is it appropriate to dress the baby in padded quilted clothes? I remember that I didn't wear this when I changed the baby's diaper just now. Why did you change it again?"
The child's grandmother said embarrassedly: "I, I'm just worried that the child will be cold."
Tang Qiu said angrily: "Children are also human beings. Try putting on a big cotton-padded jacket and covering yourself with a thick quilt now!"
The child's grandmother smiled and said nothing. She wasn't angry no matter what Tang Qiu said to her.
Tang Qiu shook his head helplessly, and then told the child's father to buy a large wash basin. The child's father didn't understand why, but he went anyway.
After returning, Tang Qiu scalded the basin with hot water, and then said: "This basin can be used to bathe such a small child. As long as the indoor temperature is above 26 degrees and there is no ventilation, the child will not be cold. There are so many ways to teach children to bathe on the Internet now. If you learn any of them, the child will not suffer so much."
When the child's mother heard what Tang Qiu said, she opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
Tang Qiu forced the child's father to learn how to wash the child's hair and face and bathe him: "You can bathe the child once or twice a week, but you wash your face and hair every day. You know how to keep clean, so why don't you clean the child? Look at the child's body, it's so dry, can he feel comfortable?"
Tang Qiu gave the child a bath, smeared ointment all over his body, and changed his clothes. In less than half an hour, the rash on the child's body had subsided.
"If you don't know how to dress your child, just watch how adults dress. Otherwise, touch the back of the child's neck. If it's warm, it means the child is not cold. For diarrhea, wait for the mother to drink soup for a few days and the child will be able to wear the clothes. Apply ointment on the buttocks twice and it will be fine. Ventilate the room at least once a week. There will be no other problems."
Tang Qiu was busy for several hours.
But compared to when Tang Qiu first came, the conditions of the mothers and children have changed a lot.
Especially the children, they really no longer cry heartbreakingly.
Now, Tang Qiu's reputation spread even further.
For several days in a row, Tang Qiu was busy in each household.
Some mothers even joked that Tang Qiu was their savior. Not only did she take care of the baby, but she also saved the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Many times, the mother-in-law didn't believe what the mother-in-law said, but they believed what Tang Qiu said. Because of Tang Qiu, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not so rigid.
After all, their disagreement was just for the good of the children.
