FOR HER SAKE
S2 - ASI

After a few hours Tiara was taken to the treatment room for recovery in the next few days.

In the treatment room there is a complete family, except for the husband who has gone nowhere.

"What's in rasain baby.. Is anyone sick?" the question from mommy Shevi caught her attention who was looking for Alvaro with her eyes.

"There's no mom.. All good. It's cold."

The door of his ward opened right after Mommy Shevi covered him in two layers.

There.The face that was earlier in his car. The one who always gave him strength and comfort - during surgery - looked at him with a wide smile. Pushing glass cribs containing their babies. My son was born a few hours ago.

Either just tiara or it is true. There was a tinge of sadness she caught on her husband's face as she entered the room.

The nurse helps elevate the position of the bed so that it is half seated. His hands stretched out asking to be able to hold his son.

Alvaro stiffly picked up the red baby who was opening his eyes wide and his tongue twitched funny as if he was trying to taste something.

With a warm heart Tiara received her child in the cradle. Kissing and rubbing those red cheeks with the back of his finger.

Her tears are flowing again. A burning sense of happiness to see the baby that for nine months he brought everywhere.

Babies who move actively and always interfere with their sleep. A baby who is in early pregnancy makes her husband vomit violently every day. Makes it difficult to eat because of nausea.

The seven-month-old baby made her unable to walk on her huge belly because she was carrying two babies.

"This brother?" tiara asked softly with tears flowing endlessly.

Alvaro, who was sitting next to him, kissed the top of his head and grabbed his shoulders.

"Yes this is my brother.The great baby who won fought with his brother in the belly there.." Alvaro's naughtiness sounded bitter in his ears.

"Then ade?" his eyes looked at the door of the ward. Hope there's a nurse who'll push the other baby.

"The good-natured man who shares his food with his brother is in intensive care." There is a raucous tone in the husband's voice.

"Who-you mean?"

"The weight is very heavy. Only 1.5 kg. So it needs to be treated in an intensive room in the NICU room until the weight is stable and can join us. Because ade is still very susceptible to getting sick or having an infection."

"If you're brother, how much does it weigh?" looking at the child in the cradle and kissing him. It is very sad that children who are each seen through the USG are hugging each other or holding hands must now be separated.

"Abount 2.7 kg." Alvaro stroked his son's round cheeks.

"Why don't you share fairly with your sister bang.. Poor is it.." he said as if he was scolding his son who was fighting over toys. But with a soft tone and a warm kiss.

"Ade is too affectionate with his brother." defended Alvaro on his first son.

"Yes. Ade rich papa who always succumbed to the same mother.." kekehnya among the sobs think of his son that he could not yet see.

"But I can see. Can you see ade..?"

Alvaro nodded steadily. "He needs breast milk from his mom too. Let's go quickly brother."

"A-ASI?"

Welcome to the real world of a mother. Who must be ready to provide ASI in any condition and at any time.

***

Alvaro did not expect his wife would be this big of a heart knowing their one child was being cared for. Or Tiara is not hysterical - or anything - because she has not seen the state of her son whose body is filled with medical equipment.

Hopefully tomorrow when his wife is allowed to visit their second son, his wife will still be this big.

The shrill voice of his brother's cry shocked him who was feeding Tiara to eat.

Her first child who was carried by mommy Shevi and cherished by their extended family cried very loudly.

"Why mom?"

"Continue.. What should I do?" tiara asked innocently.

Either his wife really did not know if the hungry baby had to suckle. Or his wife panicked because of their son's growing cry.

"In love ASI brother.. Let's unbutton him. Let mommy help with how she loves you."

Tiara looked at him horror. Look around the room full of their families.

"Maluuu moomm.." Tiara's great-grandson crossed her hands in front of her chest. Make the people in the room laugh.

Alvaro cleared his throat and whispered in his wife's ear. "You make her papa unashamed." who immediately got a sharp elbow and gaze from Tiara.

"Yes, please come out first.. Let the new mama not be ashamed." advice mother who immediately made daddy Alvin invite his father to drink coffee in the cafeteria.

Nenna and Oma had called the driver to pick them up. Saying some warm curses and kisses to Tiara as well as brother, before exiting the ward.

"You also went out there Al.." drove out his wife who he immediately refused.

"Wouldn't! I used to see. The same shameful time as me."

Tiara immediately sneered and pinched her waist. Make mommy and mom shake their heads with amused smiles.

Mothers help to put a pillow on the lap of Tiara to be able to support their babies in a straight position.

Slowly mommy Shevi flattened the brother in Tiara's cradle and in the pillowcase. Help remove some buttons on the Tiara patient's shirt and bring out the source of their baby's life.

Mother also taught that Tiara needed to massage the source of life with her limbs before being exposed to their children.

Slowly but surely, the brother who had indeed screamed hungry immediately devoured the source of his life. Stamp it strong.

"Ade must be hungry too." shrieked Tiara in a trembling voice.

Alvaro knows his wife's feelings may be uncertain. Seeing one child crying hunger, he must have remembered their other child.

"Let me tengokin ade there." Tiara nodded in agreement.

Just as he grabbed the door handle. A nurse came in.

"Where are the mothers..is the ASI smooth?" ask the sister kindly. "If it's smooth, let me milk one more so that the other baby can suckle too."

His intention to see his little baby in the NICU room he canceled to find out what the nurse would do.

Only a few moments old brother suckles, has returned to crying with a shrill that is even stronger.

The panicked Tiara was calmed down by the nurse. It turns out his wife's ASI hasn't come out yet. So that their starving child was rampaging because he had tried to find a source of life but no results he got.

"Don't panic, mom. Let the baby not panic."

"Mother who has just given birth is indeed a lot that does not directly come out ASInya. Sometimes there are even up to three or four new days out. It's normal and harmless."

"For a while because the baby's sister was crabbing and hungry. I can buy milamformula. Just until your mother's ASI comes out."

"Often in stacking yes bun, because it can stimulate rapid ASI produsi smoothly. Also eat nutritious food. Drink plenty of water and get enough rest."

"Can be helped with massage to increase the amount of ASI."

"Hopefully tomorrow is out.. Let his handsome sister get ASI quickly."

Alvaro thanked me when the sister said goodbye. He also went to buy the needs of his two children who had been advised by the sisters.
