The little babies can’t consume much; just a small half bowl of warm water is enough to satisfy them. After smacking their lips contentedly and sucking away, they fell asleep happily again, not caring if their parents were flustered.
"Alright." The doctor placed the children in the crib and smiled at the couple, "This is how it is being new parents. Although you can hire help, good parents do it themselves. That’s great, as hired help isn’t as attentive."
"Yes."
Di Mingjue smiled too and said to the doctor, "Thank you."
"You’re welcome," the doctor replied with a smile, "It’s my duty. Right, let me arrange for a lactation consultant to come over, as we can’t have the babies hungry for long. Hopefully, they can get some milk by tonight. If it’s too late, you might have to start with formula, but formula is too sweet, and if they get used to it, they might not breastfeed later."
Di Mingjue nodded, "Sure, I understand. Call the lactation consultant a bit later; I can first help my wife..."
The rest of the words were awkward for Di Mingjue to say.
The doctor immediately laughed, understandingly saying, "There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s quite normal, and many husbands do this. Sucking is the most effective way to stimulate milk production. Since babies are too weak, sometimes adults need to help. There’s even a tradition where many elder women help with this, charging a good fee. But having your husband help is best."
Hearing this, Di Mingjue raised an eyebrow as if realizing something, and quickly said, "Alright, I understand now."
The doctor said, "Okay, then I’ll have the lactation consultant come in half an hour."
"Alright," Di Mingjue nodded, "Let me see you out."
"No need to be so polite," the doctor said, "You’re too courteous, and it makes me shy. You should put on your shoes first."
Di Mingjue was taken aback and felt slightly embarrassed, nodding, "Okay, then I won’t see you out."
"No need to," the doctor said with a smile, leaving and thoughtfully closing the door behind.
