Chapter 206 Dad Eats Baby's Food (2/2)

After feeding the three babies, Gu Qizheng went to open the door and let the elders at the door come in.

With Qin Shuman and Grandma Jiang around, Lin Han hardly needed to lift a finger.

The two of them can take care of three children without any problem.

However, Qin Shuman had to go to work during the day, so the responsibility of taking care of the child fell to Grandma Jiang.

Lin Han was worried that it would be too much for Grandma Jiang, and since she herself didn't have much experience, she suggested that they could find an auntie in the family compound who was available to help.

Grandma Jiang had actually thought it through long ago. Professor Li's granddaughter-in-law had previously hired an aunt from the family compound to take care of her child during her postpartum period.

I took care of the child until he was over three years old and started kindergarten.

The auntie happens to be free right now, and Grandma Jiang has already made contact with her.

Once I get home from the hospital, I'll have that person come over to help.

Although there is no employment relationship now, it is acceptable to provide some subsidies under the guise of helping.

If anyone asks, just say that the two families have a good relationship, and the other party took the initiative to help. The Gu family, out of gratitude, provided financial assistance to the other party, which is also reasonable.

Lin Han thought this was the best possible solution.

In order to reduce conflicts with the elders in the family regarding raising children, Lin Han decided to say some things upfront.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, I still want to give the baby formula. I breastfeed him during the day and give him formula when he is hungry at night."

On the one hand, formula milk powder is more nutritionally balanced, and on the other hand, I'm worried that my breast milk won't be enough to feed my three babies.

Formula milk keeps babies full longer, which reduces nighttime wakings and allows for more sleep, which is beneficial for their growth and development.

Grandma Jiang and Qin Shuman had no objections. After all, Lin Han was the baby's mother, and the mother's opinion should be the primary consideration in raising the child. Others were just there to assist in the care.

Gu Huaiming and his grandfather, both grown men, would never argue with more experienced women about such matters.

The family nodded happily.

Lin Han also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, I don't really want to drink oily chicken soup. Actually, all the nutrients are in the meat, and the soup is just seasonings and fat."

I hope that during my postpartum period, no one will be anxious about increasing my milk supply and force me to drink chicken soup every day.

Grandpa Gu was a little nervous. "Is it okay if we eat stewed chicken? Can you eat the meat but not the soup?"

The chickens he's raised for a long time should come in handy, right?

He could offer little help to begin with, and if his chickens didn't die peacefully, he really couldn't be of any assistance.

Lin Han found the old man's expression quite cute, and it didn't dampen his confidence.

"Okay, I like to eat the chicken raised by Grandpa."

Grandpa Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I will never force you to drink chicken soup. You can stew it, stir-fry it, or braise it. Eat it however you want, hahaha."

Lin Han thought for a moment and then added.

"I've asked the doctor, and I'm not injured. I can live like a normal person, so please don't restrict my freedom too much. During my postpartum period, I can wash my hair and take a shower as long as I use hot water and make the bathroom warm."

I can't stand not showering or washing my hair for a month.

Grandma Jiang and Qin Shuman were somewhat worried.

"What if you catch a cold? It's hard to recover from a chronic illness."

They all suffered from not taking proper care during their postpartum period, so they need to be careful with Lin Han.

Lin Han explained, "You can boil mugwort in water and use the boiled medicinal water to wash your hair and bathe. As long as you don't get chilled, don't bend over, and don't hold your arms up for a long time while washing your hair, there won't be any problems."

Although Grandma Jiang and Qin Shuman were not entirely at ease, they did not refute Lin Han.

They'll ask the doctor later what kind of mugwort is best, whether to wash with it or buy a large wooden tub to soak it in.

In short, the Gu family was much easier to communicate with than Lin Han had imagined. Most of them raised their hands in agreement, and even those who couldn't quite accept it didn't argue with Lin Han, but would think of a solution later.
