Chapter 595: Childbirth (3)

Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Giving birth proved to be an exhausting endeavor.

Qin Zhenzhen managed to drift off to sleep only around midnight. Following her initial feeding session with the baby, she slept until noon.

Upon waking, the cries of the baby reached her ears.

Su Bin, cradling the infant, paced the room in an attempt to soothe him.

Observing the baby’s distress, Qin Zhenzhen remarked, “He’s hungry. Bring him over quickly.”

Once the child had his fill, the crying ceased.

Taking advantage of the moment, Su Bin brought up the topic again. “Wife, let’s consider hiring a nanny for him. Look at how he eagerly devours his food. I’m concerned about the strain on you..

In affluent circles, it was customary for wealthy women not to personally attend to their children’s needs but rather employ a nanny. This practice primarily stemmed from worries about maintaining their figures, securing their status in their husband’s affections, and avoiding the inconvenience and time-consuming demands of childcare.

Pregnancy had already disrupted the normalcy of marital relations for a while, and with the birth of the child, the prospect of breastfeeding further complicated matters. Rich men often had concubines, and for reasons of safety and self-interest, they tended to avoid engaging with the pregnant wife during this time.

To Qin Zhenzhen, such considerations were irrelevant. She was determined to provide her child with unwavering maternal love and was not inclined to delegate this responsibility.

Su Bin, on the other hand, wasn’t concerned about Qin Zhenzhen’s figure. He simply found himself slightly displeased witnessing his son voraciously consuming his meals.

He also worried about his wife getting tired due to this.

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and interrupted Su Bin. “He’s hungry. He must be anxious. Next time, if he cries from hunger, wake me up.”

Su Bin nodded, his confusion evident. “If he’s hungry, why can’t we give him something else to eat?”

This was a point Qin Zhenzhen had emphasized to him.

Qin Zhenzhen patiently explained once more, “When a baby is born, it’s best to breastfeed. Initially, they should only consume milk and not other supplementary foods…”

Modern parenting guidelines also discouraged the introduction of salty foods until the child reached the age of one. Bridging the gap between ancient practices and contemporary knowledge proved challenging.

Qin Zhenzhen, relying on her medical background, continued to educate Su Bin.

Fortunately, Su Bin was receptive. “Leave the baby to me. I’ll ensure he grows up healthy.”

Su Bin expressed his gratitude sincerely, “Thank you, wife!”

“But I can’t remain passive.”

“In the future, guide me on how you want our son raised and what precautions to take. I’ll remember and follow through on everything.”

He concurred with Qin Zhenzhen’s perspective. Since she had chosen to have a child, responsibility for their upbringing shouldn’t be entirely delegated to others.

Pleased with Su Bin’s commitment, Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “Let’s work together. We can handle the challenges with dedication.”

“By the way, have you thought of a name?”

Su Bin remained composed. “There’s no rush. I need to ponder it. Wife, let’s give him a nickname for now.”

Qin Zhenzhen suggested, “Since he was born during the Lantern Festival, how about calling him Yuan Bao?”

Su Bin agreed. “Excellent choice!” The couple shared a smile, looking at each other with warmth.

The couple, having just welcomed their newborn, found the world bathed in a newfound beauty.

Every cry, every laugh, and every action of their son brought them joy and a profound sense of connection.

However, their bliss was abruptly disrupted when, in less than two days, Su Bin received an urgent secret report from the capital.

The Emperor had unexpectedly passed away.

The very concern that had weighed on Su Bin’s mind had materialized..
