Chapter 43
"Hello? Gu Cheng?"

Su Su had just arrived at her home at this time, and she was still very puzzled by the call from Gu Cheng who had just parted.

"That's it, Su Su, Youyou's umbilical cord has fallen off, and now there is some blood in the navel, what should I do?"

"The umbilical cord fell off?"

Su Su was taken aback for a moment, then snapped her fingers, counting the days when Youyou would be discharged from the hospital.

Eight days have passed since Youyou came out of the hospital, and it is time for the umbilical cord to fall off. Generally, this day is within a week. Some mention it for a day or two, and some delay it for a day or two. This is normal. things.

"How much blood is there?"

Su Su asked the question he was most concerned about.

Gu Cheng lifted Youyou's clothes again, and carefully observed the navel without the umbilical cord.

There is only a little blood on the connection, not a lot.

"That's good, there's no problem. You have to remember to continue to apply iodine, which will help the wound heal and prevent infection, and the shed umbilical cord should be well preserved. This thing is still very commemorative. Many parents now They all take the umbilical cord, lanugo, and deciduous teeth that the baby has shed. It is very meaningful to read these things when they grow up and explain them to them.”

Su Su let go of her worries after listening to Gu Cheng's explanation. According to Gu Cheng's explanation and the previous several visits to his house to observe the umbilical cord, Youyou's belly button is growing very well.

"Save it?"

Gu Cheng was a little puzzled, he was becoming a father for the first time, so he really didn't know anything about it.

After hearing the explanation on the phone, Shang Yan picked up the umbilical cord in his hand and showed it to Gu Cheng. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think there was any good way to preserve it.

"Yes, some handicrafts or boutiques sell special preservation items. Generally, the umbilical cord and lanugo hair will be made into seals, and the deciduous teeth will be made into necklaces for the baby to wear. The old people think that this can ensure the healthy growth of the baby, but We are not superstitious, this is just a kind of spiritual sustenance."

Su Su carefully described how to preserve things. Gu Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter. This is indeed a good method. To be honest, Gu Cheng was an atheist before time travel and only admired science. Everything can happen to me, who knows if there are ghosts and monsters in the world.

Thinking that other children have it, and my family can't be short of it, Gu Cheng gave Shang Yan a look, signaling that this matter should be left to him.

"Okay, I see, I'll trouble you, Su Su."

After Gu Cheng asked about the matter, he let go of his worries. It was a good thing that the umbilical cord fell off, which meant that his baby was growing very healthy.

"Okay, remember to contact me again if you have anything to do."

Su Su changed her clothes and turned on the air conditioner. In this hot summer, she really sweated even if she moved a little.

"heard it?"

Gu Cheng hugged Youyou and laid it flat in the pram. She was not asleep yet, she was put down by her father, and she was still twisting her head, looking curiously from side to side.

It's just that the tears still hanging on her face made her look extraordinarily pitiful.

"Understood, I'll go right away."

Shang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this is a normal phenomenon, and the guilt and self-blame towards himself disappeared. He looked at Youyou with pity, picked up the key and went out.

After all, the umbilical cord is meat. In this hot summer, if it is not disposed of as soon as possible, it may be broken, and it will be even more difficult to preserve.

Gu Cheng picked up the povidone iodine next to it, and since it needs to be applied every day, these things were placed on the table next to the pram.

I poured out some povidone iodine with a bottle cap, took out a cotton swab and dipped it a little, and swirled it around in Youyou's navel, so that the cotton swab could touch all the places, even the folded folds.

Seeing that the first cotton swab was slightly stained with blood, Gu Cheng changed another one, and repeated the same thing, making sure that all the places were covered.

Because iodophor is cool when rubbed on a person's body, of course Youyou could feel the coolness, and twisted her little butt uneasy, staring at her father with wide eyes curiously.

"Okay, it will be fine soon, this thing will help your body, please be patient, my baby is the best."

Gu Cheng calmed Youyou's emotions with a gentle tone, and at the same time, the movements of his hands quickened, and he applied it twice before putting down Youyou's small clothes to cover it, then hugged him and put it on his shoulder, and patted it gently with.

Looking at the time, it was almost time to feed again. Gu Cheng calculated with his fingers that a week had passed, and it was almost time to increase the feeding dose for Youyou.

The feeding volume of the two-week-old baby has increased from [-] ml to [-], and the interval between feedings has also increased from two hours to three hours.

Gu Cheng plans to start today, because the umbilical cord has fallen, indicating that the baby's body is developing normally, and it's time to gain weight, and it's just right to increase the feeding dose at this time.

He held Youyou in one hand, and began to brew milk powder with the other hand. He had already done this action very skillfully during this period of time, and there would be no delay at all.

Brew warm water to the mark of [-]ml, then add two level scoops of milk powder, after Gu Cheng shook it fully, watched the milk powder in the bottle melt, and then picked up the pacifier and approached Youyou's small mouth.

"Come on, baby, it's time to eat."

Youyou bit the pacifier very hard, then took the whole thing in his mouth, and started to use his delicious food.

Don't think that children don't have much strength. They use great effort when they drink milk, or there is an adjective called using the strength of breastfeeding.

Although the [-]ml has been doubled, the time it takes for Youyou to drink it has not increased much. Perhaps because she knows that her appetite has increased, her absorption speed has also accelerated a lot, and the small mouth keeps surging Then, the milk powder in the bottle soon bottomed out.

"So edible?"

Gu Cheng looked at the feeding bottle in surprise, did he not feed Youyou before?Could it be that the other party is half full this week?
Gu Cheng complained in his heart about his lack of experience, but now Youyou is really full, even though there are still milk stains next to her mouth, but her eyes have begun to blur, blinking, like sleeping look.

Gu Cheng put down the bottle, continued the process of drinking milk every time, and patted Youyou's back to expel the air in his stomach.

Under Gu Cheng's patting, Youyou gradually closed his eyes, breathing gently, and fell into a dreamland.
