59. Bathing in a maternal and child store (Thanks to Zifeimu for the 200-point reward)
There was not much wind in the summer market, which made Gu Cheng breathe a sigh of relief.
Regarding Youyou's matter, Gu Cheng felt that he needed to be more cautious in everything. Even if he made the slightest mistake, he felt that he could not forgive himself.
Because it was not that convenient to drive with Youyou, he could not put Youyou directly in the back seat of the car. This was not allowed by traffic regulations. In addition, the mother and baby store was not far away, so he still
I chose to walk.
One hand is holding the bag, and the other hand is protecting Youyou's head. The newborn's spine is not fully developed, so you must pay attention to everything.
Gu Cheng paid attention to avoid the passing vehicles and deliberately walked into the crowd, fearing that if he was not careful, he would collide with the buildings on the roadside.
Originally he had to walk ten minutes by himself, but this time he took Youyou with him, which took twice as long. When Gu Cheng was hot from the sun and was highly concentrated, his hand was also strangled by a bag.
After leaving deep traces, he finally arrived at the maternal and child store.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, come in quickly."
Wang Yan had been waiting at the door of the store early. Seeing Gu Cheng's difficult steps, she quickly stepped forward and helped catch the bag in his hand.
"Are you exhausted? Do you live far away? You can definitely take a taxi."
Gu Cheng also felt that he had thought inappropriately. If he took a taxi, it would only cost a few yuan, which would save him a lot of trouble. But now that everything was done, there was no point in talking about it, so he just smiled.
.
"I live not far away, so I came over here. Please excuse me. Thank you."
"It doesn't matter, this is our job."
Wang Yan first sent the bag to the bathroom of the maternal and child store, and then came back and took Youyou from Gu Cheng's hand.
"Is this your daughter? She is so beautiful. She looks a lot like you at first glance."
Wang Yan opened Youyou's quilt, then looked at Youyou who had fallen asleep, and praised him.
As for why you didn’t ask Youyou’s mother, generally speaking, the mother of a newborn baby must be in confinement. Of course, there will be special circumstances. Let’s talk briefly, in order to avoid any inconvenience, unless
Customers have to start chatting, otherwise they wouldn't ask directly.
Wang Yan, who has been doing this job for many years, is already very familiar with these things.
"You can come in together. Having a familiar person there is also very helpful to calm the baby's emotions."
Seeing that Gu Cheng didn't dare to come in, Wang Yan spoke directly.
"Ah? Okay."
It was Gu Cheng's first time to come to a maternal and child store to bathe a baby, so he was not familiar with it. He thought parents were not allowed in.
Following Wang Yan, he entered a room decorated with pure glass doors. As soon as he entered, Gu Cheng began to sweat. The temperature inside had reached thirty-seven degrees. Compared with the temperature outside, it was a little hotter here.
After thinking about it, he realized that this was to prevent the baby from getting cold and sick, so Gu Cheng endured it.
Wang Yan's movements were skillful and fast. Before Youyou even felt it, her clothes were completely taken off. Compared to Gu Cheng's clumsiness, she was not only skillful, but also made Youyou very comfortable.
Seeing that Youyou didn't cry at all and didn't look like he was changing her clothes, Gu Cheng concentrated his attention and tried to remember Wang Yan's techniques.
"Baby, come here, take a bath, you are so good, you look so beautiful."
Wang Yan kept talking, and kept comforting Youyou with words. This is also based on science. Although the baby cannot understand what adults say, she can feel the emotions from the adults' tone, and the gentle tone can soothe them suddenly.
The nervousness of coming to an unfamiliar environment.
Youyou was very cooperative throughout the process. After all his clothes were taken off, he yawned cutely, and then he was lifted up by Wang Yan, holding his butt, and gently approached the bathing pool.
The bathtub is a little larger than the sink at Gu Cheng's house. It is just right for the baby to lie in. In order to prevent the baby from coming into contact with the cold marble and sliding down, a sponge was placed thoughtfully.
The baby lies on the sponge, and the water just reaches the creaking area.
Wang Yan first carefully checked the growth of Youyou's belly button, and then used a towel, soaked in the warm water of the bathtub, to cover Youyou's belly.
First, he held water with his hands and poured it gently on Youyou. After she got used to the temperature, she started to scrub gently with the special sponge next to her.
Gu Cheng stood aside and watched. Youyou looked very much enjoying himself. He looked around with his eyes wide open. When he saw Gu Cheng, his mouth suddenly opened as if he was smiling.
Of course, babies at this time not only cannot recognize people, but also cannot see very far away. These expressions were all made up by Gu Cheng himself.
"Your baby is really well-behaved and very cooperative."
Wang Yan spoke on the side. Although Gu Cheng knew that the other person was just saying this out of politeness, he still felt happy in his heart. For a parent, nothing can make them happier than having someone exaggerate about their child.
Gu Cheng watched Wang Yan use a sponge ball to rub out a lot of white stuff on Youyou's body, similar to the dust we adults rub out when we go to the bathhouse.
"Huh? There is dirt on such a small baby?"
Gu Cheng was very curious. He thought babies were the cleanest.
"This is not ash. It is brought out after birth. It is called vernix. It mainly protects the baby's skin from being soaked by amniotic fluid. It is just useless after birth. Every baby has it. After a few baths, it will
Completely cleared."
Wang Yan explained that for them, this is their job, and of course they know a little more than the average person.
"That's it."
Gu Cheng nodded. He was knowledgeable about everything. It seemed that there were still many things he didn't understand.
"Is your baby taking care of yourself?"
While Wang Yan was busy with her own tasks, she was afraid that Gu Cheng would be bored, so she started looking for a topic. For a parent, the best topic was undoubtedly the life of raising a child.
"I'm mainly taking care of it."
Gu Cheng replied.
"Then you are really awesome, very responsible, and a good father. My family is like that. My child is already two years old. He can't even ask him to change a diaper. He still wants to ask me to come. There's really nothing he can do about it.
."
Although Wang Yan's tone was full of complaints, she could still see happiness in her expression.
Gu Cheng felt a little bitter in his heart. If Youyou had a mother, it would be a lot easier for him. But things don't work out as planned. Even if she loses her mother's love, she still has him. He has to give double the father's love to let her grow up.
In the process, you will not receive less care than others.
