Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Chengzi Breastfeeds
A few professional caregivers were about to go prepare formula when Wen Wan stopped them. She looked at Shen Cheng and asked, "Have you decided? Are you going for breast milk or formula?"
Actually, in the hospital, a nurse had already brought the two children to Shen Cheng for breastfeeding.
However, at that time, neither of the children wanted to latch on and started wailing the moment they were placed on the bed. Because it was inconvenient for Shen Cheng right after giving birth, the nurse used a pump to extract breast milk and bottle-fed the children.
Because she had just given birth, there wasn’t enough breast milk, so the children had been fed formula for two days.
"I’ll try to feed them."
Shen Cheng said and gestured for them to go out.
When the door closed, Wen Wan carefully picked up one of the children and checked the identity bracelet on his wrist before bringing him to Shen Cheng, smiling gently, "Number 1, Ao Jue."
Shen Cheng sat on a couch by the window, her technique for holding a child still somewhat awkward. As soon as she picked up Xiao Ao Jue, his crying intensified.
"Wah..."
"Wah, wah!"
The cries were shrill, and his delicate little face turned red with exertion, "Wah, wah..."
"Silly boy."
Shen Cheng cursed softly, cautiously supporting the little bundle in her arms while lifting up her clothing with her other hand.
Her clothing was too loose and fell back down as she lifted it, accidentally covering the child’s face and then...
"Wah!"
To those unaware, it would surely sound like a baby being mistreated.
Because the cry seemed somewhat heart-rending.
"Wah, wah wah! Yi..."
Seeing this, Wen Wan, while comforting the other child, came over to help her adjust her clothing.
Shen Cheng had just unbuttoned her bra when she lifted the little bundle up slightly, and the one who was just wailing immediately stopped crying, latched onto Shen Cheng’s chest, and started sucking.
His little mouth moved, and he began to suckle earnestly.
"Rascally kid."
Shen Cheng frowned slightly, feeling a mix of exasperation and amusement.
"Yi..."
Either feeling happy from getting milk or understanding Shen Cheng’s words, the little one suddenly let go and, with bright black eyes fixed on Shen Cheng, started cooing.
Shen Cheng pinched his face lightly, and he "wah-ed" before latching back onto her chest to continue nursing.
This time, he nursed seriously, undisturbed by anything else.
Shen Cheng felt...
There was a bit of pain on her chest.
So, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
Wen Wan held the other child in her arms, pacing slowly around the room, successfully calming him down.
Seeing Shen Cheng’s reaction, she seemed to understand and said, "It’s always painful at the start of breastfeeding, and you might even get a few bite marks. But it’s normal since babies have a tight grip, and newborns don’t really know how to suckle properly. So every new mother goes through this. Just grit your teeth and bear it; it will be better in half a month."
Shen Cheng nodded, it was just a little pain, nothing to be afraid of.
Xiao Ao Jue had been feeding for about twenty minutes, and then he fell asleep.
Shen Cheng soothed him for a few more minutes before carefully placing him in the crib and covering him with a thin blanket.
He looked like a delicate doll in his deep sleep, his well-formed features not resembling those of a newborn at all.
He was perfect.
Once more sitting on the couch, Wen Wan brought over the other child to Shen Cheng, smiling, "Number 2, Tian Jue."
Shen Cheng smiled as well.
Her slender fingers gently caressed the face of the little treasure in her arms, her eyes beaming with Happiness.
