Chapter 1211: Teething

Zhai Sheng noticed that Qiao Nan was upset. He passed Er Bao who was cheeky and full of mischief to her.

Er Bao was indeed the cheeky child. As soon as he was in his mother’s arms, he gained her full attention by uttering unintelligible sounds. He reached his hands toward Qiao Nan’s face and kicked his legs.

Seeing how Er Bao kept moving about in her arms, Qiao Nan had no way to think about other matters and could only give him her full attention. “What’s wrong with Er Bao?” She gave a slight bite on Er Bao’s hands that kept moving about, smacking his bottom.

At times, she could not understand where Er Bao learned the cheeky moves and behavior from.

She had become the mother of three children all at once, but their personalities were vastly different. Qiao Nan had no experience with other children. She was not sure if all the children were as active and cheeky as her triplets.

Er Bao flailed his arms happily as he had gained his mother’s full attention. He kept twisting about like a carp that was just taken out of the river. Qiao Nan almost lost her grip on Er Bao.

Thankfully, they were at home and Qiao Nan was sitting on the sofa with Er Bao in her arms. Otherwise, Qiao Nan might be given a fright by how active he was. “Little mischief, do you know how heavy you are? If you keep moving about, what should I do if I lose my grip on you?”

Qiao Nan was troubled. “Although I can still manage to carry you now, I don’t know how long I will be able to continue doing that. Perhaps I will not have the strength to carry you when you are one year old.”

Qiao Nan did not have enough breast milk for the triplets. Tian Dong had done the research previously and they were able to feed the triplets with the formula milk that his friends bought for him.

The triplets had a huge appetite and they had strength in their arms and legs. At times, there was no need for other people to feed them. They would hold the milk bottle with their arms and legs and drank the milk happily.

The triplets loved the solid food that was given to them. They would finish them as soon as it was given to them. The people who fed them were not in time to feed them. The triplets had just been fed with a spoonful of food, yet they would make sounds to have another spoonful of food.

It was no wonder that they grew bigger and heavier since they slept and ate and were without any worries.

The Zhai family was proud that the triplets were chubby and they looked as large—if not slightly bigger—as full-term babies. It proved that the Zhai family had taken good care of them and they were in good health.

When they went to the hospital for their checkups, the doctor was surprised to see that they had grown up as well as full-term babies.

If she did not deliver the babies, she would not believe her eyes that the smart babies in front of her were triplets and that they were born prematurely.

From her experience, triplets seldom grew up to be as big as full-term babies.

Of course, the biggest credit had to go to Qiao Nan, the mother.

In normal cases, pregnant ladies would feel a strain at the waist and back as the tummy grew bigger. It was strenuous on the pregnant lady. Since Qiao Nan carried triplets, her tummy must be three times as big.

Many pregnant women could not take the strain to go through natural delivery. Some women had to take injections to give birth to the baby way earlier than the due date.

As a young mother, Qiao Nan went through the difficult process of carrying the triplets. She waited until her water bag broke to give birth to the babies. She carried the babies for nine months, ensuring that they were well-developed and well-nourished.

It was not rare to have babies born one month before the due date.

In their hospital, many mothers who had a single child pregnancy delivered their babies around the ninth month.

Babies born in the ninth month were not considered as premature babies and they would not have many health complications.

Therefore, it was due to Qiao Nan that the triplets were able to grow up to be so healthy. “Your triplets are so fortunate. They are loved and cherished by many people around them, and they have a mother who is willing to endure hardships for their sake.” The doctor could not help but hold Da Bao’s chubby arms, feeling excited.

The triplets were growing up healthily. Their arms were chubby and their knuckles were round. They were adorable.

Babies were the cutest living beings in the world.

Da Bao could not understand what the person in white was talking about, but he sensed that she looked friendly and amiable.

Da Bao smiled at her, revealing a small tooth in his pink and healthy gums. He had an adorable and sweet smile.

“He is teething? That’s great!” The female doctor is surprised. But it was indeed time for the triplets to start teething. She had done a checkup for the triplets and prescribed some teething rusks for the triplets. “This is from the hospital. If you trust us, you can take some back with you for the triplets to try. From now onward, the triplets will put everything that they see into their mouths. As the elders, you have to make sure that they do not come into contact with dirty stuff.”

“We will definitely do so.”

“We have already cleaned everything in the house,” Miao Jing said from experience. As soon as the triplets started to bite on things, she and the auntie spent three to five days to tidy the house. They threw away unwanted stuff and made sure that all the furniture was washed thoroughly so that the triplets would not come into contact with dirty stuff.

Now that the triplets were teething, their gums would feel itchy and they liked to bite on things to stop the itch.

Seeing that the triplets were teething, the Zhai family had prepared things for the triplets to bite on.

They had boiled and disinfected the things that the triplets would bite on.

The Zhai family was extremely careful with things that the triplets would use. They dared not be careless or sloppy. They did not want the triplets to touch dirty stuff and have an upset stomach.

“That is good.” The doctor believed that the Zhai family would be able to take good care of the triplets. From their bright, active, and carefree looks, the doctor knew that the triplets were treated like the emperor and empress at home.

Children were precious nowadays. Now that they had three children at one go, they would definitely pamper and dote on them.
