Chapter 1083: Chapter 1088: Weaning Off Milk
Clearly, it wouldn’t be long before they could run around everywhere.
Babies’ bones are soft, and walking for too long at a time can deform their bones.
So, after the twins had walked back and forth a few times, Qiao Duo’er brought them over to the little dining table.
She decided to wean the babies but didn’t want to use a harsh method, because that could leave psychological scars on the babies.
Therefore, she aimed to fill their bellies with something else before their craving for milk kicked in.
But these two little things were not easy to fool. Although Tan Zhenghong brought over their favorite steamed eggs, the twins’ eyes still lingered on a certain part of Duo’er.
In their hearts, no food was more delicious than their mother’s breast milk.
Qiao Duo’er earnestly said, "You both have teeth now, and if you keep drinking milk, you might bite me and it will hurt. Besides, you’re big babies now and can’t drink milk anymore."
Tangyuan pouted, looking like he was about to cry, while Green Group also looked unhappy and sullen.
"Your mother is already not in good health, and if she keeps feeding you, she will become even thinner. From now on, if you want to drink milk, you should drink cow’s milk, which tastes almost the same as your mother’s," Tan Zhenghong advised too.
Qiao Duo had finally put on some weight during her pregnancy, but now there wasn’t much of it left.
Being a mother is hard work, and even with help from others, a mother still has to worry.
After speaking, Tan Zhenghong picked up a bowl, scooped up some milk, and brought it close to Green Group’s face.
"You are the big brother, you need to set a good example for your sister. Take a sip," Tan Zhenghong coaxed.
Honestly, there is a big difference between the taste of cow’s milk and breast milk.
But there always comes a day for weaning.
Green Group turned his head away, refusing to even glance at the cow’s milk.
Tan Zhenghong could only move towards Tangyuan: "How about you show your brother how to do it?"
Tangyuan puckered his lips, also unwilling to drink it. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"How about we feed them for a few more days, wait until they are a bit older and then talk about it seriously?" Qiao Duo’er felt a bit heartbroken.
Her twins had strong comprehension abilities; in another couple of months, they should be able to fully understand.
Tan Zhenghong firmly said, "We have been discussing weaning since they were eight months old, and four months have passed already. We can’t delay any longer. You’re too thin, and with both children nursing, you simply can’t cope."
Previous attempts had been made twice, both times ending with their capitulation to the tears of the twins.
This time he was determined to staunchly protect his own interests.
"I will eat more in the future," Qiao Duo’er earnestly said, confident that eating more would surely provide enough milk for the twins.
Tan Zhenghong rolled his eyes, "Do I not know you? As soon as you say that you’re full, you won’t drink any milk and force yourself until you throw up."
Wouldn’t that be tormenting his wife even more?
Qiao Duo’er knew Tan Zhenghong spoke the truth and fell silent.
"It’s not that your mother doesn’t want to continue breastfeeding you, it’s that her body can’t handle it. If you keep drinking milk, your mother could become ill, which would make her feel very uncomfortable, and then she wouldn’t be in the mood to play with you."
Tan Zhenghong tried to persuade them with all the patience and compassion he could muster.
Green Group looked at his own mother and eventually pushed away the spoon that Tan Zhenghong was holding.
He didn’t like the taste of cow’s milk and preferred to eat the steamed eggs.
Tangyuan, though still reluctant, saw that everyone else had given up on milk, and it made little sense for her to insist alone.
The twins’ reaction warmed Qiao Duo’er’s heart. They were only a year old, but they already knew how to be considerate of her.
The weaning process went smoothly. Ever since the twins agreed to be weaned, they hadn’t made a fuss again, though occasionally they would gaze absently at their mother or make sucking motions in their sleep.
This was just one of the prices paid for growth.
