Chapter 4 Talking about Scientific Parenting Experience
Talking about Scientific Parenting Experience
When pregnancy happened to me, I made up my mind to use scientific methods to raise this future baby.At around 5:30 one morning, my daughter was born. The joy and curiosity made me eager to try the so-called "noble responsibility of motherhood". Reluctantly, he raised his throat and asked the maid to put the newborn baby on the small bed prepared earlier, so that he could go to sleep.In accordance with the provisions of "General Knowledge on Parenting", the first breastfeeding is planned to be performed after twelve hours.I am also prepared to take a good sleep with him in order to restore my spirit.Unexpectedly, the baby didn't forgive people's painstaking efforts, so he couldn't stop crying. I was so angry that I had to calm down over and over again, and comforted myself: "A baby's crying can expand the lungs. Let him go.——I myself have to sacrifice a little more under the title of mother, so why don't I still ask him about the crime of disturbing sleep?" This kind of crying happened again and again, and I just closed my eyes and calmed down and ignored it until At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I was upset and exhausted. Seeing that the sacrifice had reached the limit, I expected her lung capacity to expand considerably, so I couldn't help but open my eyes and ask the servant woman for advice.As a result, I had to discount 30% of the time stipulated in the common sense of child-rearing, and asked someone to go to the neighbor's wife to express some milk in advance to fill her up.
After two days and nights, the milk begins to secrete. According to the planned breastfeeding time, during the fourteenth day of life, breastfeed every three hours at night and during the day.So when the clock struck the sixth time, I ordered: "Mother Wang, bring the baby here and feed it."
Wang Ma hurriedly ran to the side of the crib to have a look, and replied, "The doll is asleep."
"Wake her up and hold her here!" As she said, she uncovered her quilt and prepared to let the baby lie outside.I could hear Wang Ma pushing and calling softly, but she couldn't see her hugging her.
"What?" I asked impatiently.
"She won't wake up."
"Come here and let me call myself."
"You won't catch the cold if you hug her while you sleep, right?" Wang Ma asked in panic.
"It's none of your business to catch the cold!" I was obviously a little angry.
The baby moved slightly when she was placed beside me, and then fell asleep again. I shook her left arm lightly, but refused to wake up. This time she woke up, but she just kept crying. I remembered that I couldn’t breastfeed while crying, so I had to wait for her to stop, and then I saw that it was half past six, and the crying gradually subsided, but she fell asleep again. up.I had no choice but to comfort myself: Forget it, even if it starts at seven o’clock, it’s all right. "Hearing her low breathing, I felt drowsy. When I was about to fall asleep, I was awakened by the cry again. Now she really woke up. I think the time to breastfeed has come, but I don't know if it's 7:00 or not. I looked at my watch, it was only a quarter past six, so I pretended to sleep, crying louder and louder, expecting that the "hour" would be "pressed" and it would not work, so Wang Ma also tried to persuade her, "Give her some food." , doll is hungry. "So I rinsed her mouth and sucked until 7:15 before I spit out the nipple. I hurriedly called Mama Wang to try again with boric acid water, but it woke her up again, she couldn't cry anymore, so I had to repeat breastfeeding. At 7:30, I fell asleep again, and this time I was so scared that I never dared to work hard again. This way, sooner or later until the night, it was even more difficult, either when the time came and the baby or I didn’t wake up, or the baby Wake yourself up before the time comes, or call Wang Ma to get boric acid water, wait until you get up to get it, the uterus is shifted, it’s not for fun; even shouting loudly is not allowed, the mother’s mental tranquility can’t be ignored After a few days like this, the children cried, the mother was tired, the servants complained, and the neighbors were harassed. In order to calm things down, I had to accept the advice of the third mother-in-law: "What's so good about the words of the red-haired man in the book?As the saying goes, a newborn baby eats flower milk, which means that after folding a flower, he will eat again. How can he be hungry for two hours? "The third mother-in-law is illiterate. She never knew what the book said. When she was young, she raised four boys and six girls. According to the local method, all of them were white and fat, much fatter than this baby of yours. !—You don’t even need to wipe your mouth with that boron medicine, what’s so dirty about the mouth of a nursing child?”
After about a week, the baby's eyelids suddenly became red and swollen, and a lot of mucus flowed out. I was so anxious that I even forgot that the mother should lie flat for at least ten days. I found this kind of so-called "warm purulent eye" on the Internet, and the symptoms are the same. According to the cloud, "treat it immediately", otherwise you will suffer from "blindness". So I hurriedly ordered Wang Ma to pass on the rumor to the doctor, but was stopped by the third mother-in-law Live: "What's dirty, not pus eyes!Will the eyes of the children who live upstairs get pus?This is born with a lot of fire, just eat some Chuan Lian and it will be fine. "At that time, she ate it three times, and she really saw the effect the next day.
After the eye disease recovered, the umbilical cord also fell off, and it was time to take a bath, so they asked Wang Ma to come to the water, although they tried their best to prevent it.After washing, put talcum powder all over her body, remove the armbands and swaddling clothes, put on loose clothes, and put her on the small bed.Unexpectedly, the next day, she suddenly caught a cold, had a fever, sneezed, her nose was stuffy and she couldn't breathe freely during breastfeeding, and she was noisy all day long. In the crib, of course she would catch a cold when she got out of the hot quilt while breastfeeding at night; and by the way, she herself had a worse cough because she got up in the middle of the night to hold the baby.Although I knew it was her motivation to say "By the way", but I couldn't refute her for a while, and the third mother-in-law had already added it. So I violated the scientific parenting law for the third time and never gave her a bath. , and hugged back to sleep together.
On the fourth day after co-sleeping at five o'clock, the problem happened again. The baby just cried endlessly after breastfeeding, even though it was fed again, it would not suck. Hearing she turned around, she coughed loudly, and then vaguely told me to give her milk quickly. When I told her in detail, she snored like thunder again.I had no choice but to wait until dawn, guessing that the third mother-in-law came, and then I realized that the baby had no armband, and the right arm was retracted to the chest. The bones and joints were put together, and the procedures were completed. Sure enough, the crying gradually stopped, and she fell asleep soundly; the third mother-in-law was still Huayang;
The third mother-in-law saw that the scientific method was overthrown by herself, so she raised her thumbs up and told me many "empirical parenting methods" with relish. People of different surnames pooled together money to buy a silver collar, and every new moon should buy two coppers tofu to treat the bed-in-law... It made me feel very "spiritually clear" to her.
On the day of the full moon, my mother feared that I would have a hard time raising children, so she picked a nanny with rich experience in raising children.She and the third mother-in-law hit it off right away, and there was a lot of regret for seeing each other later.Since then, my daughter has grown up under the empirical parenting method of the two of them, and she is already in October, obese and lively, and she has strongly confirmed it with the two of them.As for me, I replaced various novel magazines for parenting research long before September, and the writing of "Maternal Love" is already filled with a mixture of cat feces and dust.
