10. Bubble milk powder
"She is hungry when she opens her mouth. Newborns need to be fed every two hours, and the amount at one time is 30 ml. After two days, this amount becomes 60 ml, and after two days, it becomes 90 ml."
Li Lan saw that Gu Cheng was still playing with the baby in his arms, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Yes, milk powder."
Gu Cheng held the baby in one hand, using his own creaking nest to bear part of the weight, and then hurriedly looked for milk powder.
Li Lan got a lot of trial items. Maybe the owner of the maternity and baby store was so generous because he saw that the other party purchased too many things at one time and the total price exceeded about ten thousand yuan. Generally, other people who come here may only give
One or two.
Gu Cheng looked at the pile of milk powder on the ground and was confused. He didn't know which one to use. He had a bit of difficulty in choosing.
"Drink goat milk powder first. Others say goat milk is good for the baby's skin, but it can easily cause irritation. Just pay attention to the water supply."
"Okay, goat milk."
What Gu Cheng happened to be holding was a big brand of goat milk powder. He quickly opened the lid, added the milk powder with the unsealed milk jug on one side, and prepared to pour the boiling water into the constant temperature kettle.
"stop."
Li Lan held her forehead helplessly. She thought Gu Cheng knew more or less about these things, but now it seems that the other party really doesn't understand at all.
"You're too stupid. I'm here, pay attention."
Li Lan stepped forward and snatched the milk bottle from Gu Cheng's hand, knocked him aside impatiently, and took over his work.
Just a few simple movements by Gu Cheng already made him sweat profusely.
"In the future, new baby bottles must be boiled and sterilized before they can be used. After all, they are for babies. Their resistance is naturally weaker than that of adults. We still need to pay attention to this aspect."
; Li Lan kept moving her hands while making arrangements.
The bottles and kettles were cooked carefully by Li Lan after they were bought, and they are now ready for use.
Li Lan first heated the water in the kettle to 100 degrees Celsius, boiled it, and then started to adjust the button above to adjust the temperature to 45 degrees Celsius.
"This temperature is just right for soaking milk powder. If it is too high, it will easily burn the nutrients in the milk powder to death, and it will also burn the baby's newly developed throat and intestines. If it is too low, it will be too cold for the baby and prone to diarrhea."
This constant temperature kettle is basically designed to facilitate the use of milk powder in today's households. It can adjust the set temperature up and down, and it can also be maintained at this temperature. There is an electronic screen on the outer wall of the cup, which displays the current temperature.
Li Lan poured the milk powder that Gu Cheng had just poured into the bottle back into the milk jug and rinsed the bottle.
"We need to add thirty milliliters of water. Thirty milliliters requires one level scoop of milk powder. Remember, it is one level scoop. No more, no less."
When Li Lan took this step, he kept staring at Gu Cheng, and only continued after knowing that the other party nodded to indicate that he understood.
If she doesn't give more instructions, Gu Cheng will really do more, for fear that his daughter will not have enough to eat. This is the disadvantage of men raising children.
"Correspondingly, for 60 ml of water, add two level spoons; for 90 ml of water, add three level spoons. That is a ratio of thirty to one."
Li Lan added water and milk powder, screwed on the pacifier, held the bottle between his two palms, and gently rotated it a few times.
"Don't do this too much, just rotate the milk powder away. If you use too much force, there will be small bubbles inside, and the baby will inhale air when he drinks, causing his belly to swell."
Then she squeezed the pacifier a few times with her hand, dripped two drops of milk on the back of her hand, and felt the temperature.
"There is a small hole in this position of the bottle. Squeeze it a few times to expel the air. Feel the temperature on the back of your hand. If it is not lukewarm or hot, you can feed it."
After saying that, he handed the soaked bottle to Gu Cheng. The task of feeding the baby for the first time should be left to Gu Cheng, the father.
I took out some toilet paper and put it on the baby's chin. At this time, the baby was already crying loudly because he was hungry and couldn't find anything to eat.
The baby's cry was like a lamb's cry, and it was also like the cat meowing that Gu Cheng had heard on the roadside before, which made his father feel very distressed.
"hurry up."
She took the milk bottle and put the pacifier near the baby's mouth. She leaned forward without any instruction, bit the pacifier and started sucking. Her movements were fierce, and she looked like she was really hungry.
The crying finally stopped, and the baby's little face still had the blush from the exertion, and the whole body was the color of freshly cooked prawns.
Seeing her swallowing milk vigorously, the adults watching collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks,"
Gu Cheng is the most nervous among these people because he doesn't understand anything. When he hears the baby cry, he panics and doesn't know how to solve it.
Li Lan was a great help and taught him a good lesson, letting him know how difficult it is to be a parent.
"Hey, we're all friends. We've all said this out of the blue. Where's the food? I'm starving."
Li Lan waved his hand indifferently.
"On the table, you eat first, and I'll put her to sleep before eating."
Gu Cheng gestured to the food on the table, but Shang Yan and Wang Jun had already unpacked it and picked up the rice politely.
“It’s quite rich,”
Li Lan came over and took a look. The large plate of chicken, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried kidneys, and pork intestines were all favorite dishes of several people. They were all must-orders when they went out to dinner when they were in school.
"I would like to express my condolences to you."
Gu Cheng said, looking down and seeing that the bottle was empty, but Youyou was still sucking on the pacifier.
"Pull it off, otherwise there will be air and it will be difficult to solve the baby's bloated belly."
Upon hearing Li Lan's words, Gu Cheng immediately pulled out the pacifier.
"Pull her up, pat her back, and let her burp. From the neck down, to the buttocks, pat her in a circular motion. Don't use too much force. Keep it for one minute."
Li Lan had already stuffed rice into her mouth, and she didn't forget to give guidance to Gu Cheng. It's not that she didn't help. As a qualified father, these are things that must be experienced. While she is still here, she can still give some guidance.
Gu Cheng, adjust what is wrong with him.
Following Li Lan's instructions, Gu Cheng held up Youyou with one hand and patted his back gently.
This posture made the father and daughter look at each other. After Youyou had eaten, he stopped crying and looked curiously at the environment and the man in front of him.
"Do you think a newborn baby can see?"
Gu Cheng kept holding his hands and asked the people who were eating frantically.
"Probably not." After all, they are so young and haven't developed well yet. I remember my mother told me that children born before would not be able to open their eyes, and it would take about a week."
Wang Jun put down his chopsticks and answered.
"You know nothing. Newborns can see things as soon as they are born. The reason you are talking about not opening their eyes is because nutrition was not rich in the past. Many pregnant women did not eat enough. How could there be any nutrition for the baby? Of course
