The Sage of Einar

Chapter 188 - How To Take Care Of Your Baby

In Einar's room Kassia, Helmi, Elin, Felipa, and Aila were gathered. All of them were paying attention to Einar, who had in front of him a paper pasted on the wall.

That it had written 'How to take care of your baby.', On the paper, there were a series of very detailed drawings as well as some explanations.

Einar, seeing how they were paying attention, just smiled and cleared his throat "Thank you for paying attention to the beginning of this course that will last four months in which all of you will learn how to take care of a baby.

I know that many of you already have experience, so the knowledge I teach will only serve to improve the treatment of babies.

How do you know this is because I will implement new knowledge with which the quality of life of babies will increase.

The endpoint of the course is that babies can survive until they are children, that is why following all these steps will be of vital importance.

I can assure all of you that no matter what, I will do everything in my power to reduce child deaths in the tribe.

All this I do for the sake of my future children and all the babies of the tribe who are currently alive. "

After saying those words, Einar took out of a bag a bottle which was made of green glass. Next to it, there was a cap made of silver that had a pacifier made of glass.

"This is a bottle, we will use it to store breast milk for the baby, it will fill overnight and we will store the milk for use in the early morning.

That way you can rest at dawn and we can work so that the babies are always being cared for.

To extract breast milk, we will use this little device that I made. "

From the bag, Einar took out a glass apparatus that was shaped like a breast that had a slot for attaching the nipple and a protrusion where it was connected to an air pump that was made of a bladder.

"This is a manual milk pump, its operation is quite simple, the glass container is placed on the chest, the bottle is placed and only this bladder ball is pressed.

What you will do is create a suction effect with which the milk will begin to flow into the bottle, just like the bottle, these two tools need to be washed with boiled water, if you do not understand how to do it, just wait until the end of the bottle explanation to show you how it's done. "

This to prevent bacteria cultures from being created that can harm babies, it is important that both are always clean, that is why today I will show you how to use them and also how to clean them.

For this, I would like Kassia to pass in front of everyone and take a seat in this chair that I prepared especially for her. "

Kassia at that moment got up and looked happily at Einar before sitting down on the designated chair.

Once she sat under a part of her dress exposing her chest that had a beautiful black bra covering it, Einar very carefully walked over to her and removed the bra.

Revealing her beautiful pink nipple, which was purple with curiosity by all women.

"Now that Kassia doesn't have a bra, it's the right time for me to show you how the breast pump I made works.

The first thing to do is place the breast inside the glass container. "

At that moment Einar placed the glass container on Kassia's chest and using his hand adjusted it so that no air could get in or out.

Then he took the bottle and fertilized it in the glass container. Later he arranged the piece of the bladder with which he would suck the air.

"Now that everything is ready we just have to start absorbing the air with the bladder valve and the breast milk will start to come out."

Kassia bit her lip when Einar began to pump the air that was in the glass container with the valve, this makes that little by little breast milk will begin to come out.

Which was falling slowly into the bottle, After a few minutes breast milk stopped coming out, so Einar removed a glass lid that covered a small hole.

With that, the pressure with which she was sucking her breast milk began to recede and after a minute she carefully released Kassia's breast.

"How you can observe the process to place, use and remove is quite simple, but it must be used as I am showing it because otherwise, it can be dangerous for you.

Also remember that it is good to empty the milk into your breasts when they are producing it, as milk balls can form that will be extremely painful.

Now that we have just used the machine with one breast, we need to empty the other to prevent milk balls from forming. "

After saying those words, Einar began to accommodate the container in Kassia's other breast, and, repeating the same process, he was in charge of emptying any breast milk she might have.

In the end, Einar removed the device and removed the bottle, which he did later surprised all the women, while Kassia and Helmi only blushed but kept their chests up because they were happy to see Einar.

Einar took the bottle and began to drink Kassia's breast milk with great happiness when he finished cleaning his lips and looked at the bottle with pride.

"It was a very good sample of breast milk. It contains all the nutrients that the baby needs, it is a pleasure that as a father I can only do before they are born.

Because later it will be impossible because the baby needs all the breast milk possible, in addition, trying it can avoid future problems for babies.

Well, breast milk will have a reddish color and a metallic taste if the mother is not well fed, but since we have finished with the milk test, it is time to teach them how to clean the devices.

First of all, you should know that to use these instruments we must always wash our hands as well as the body in the event that you are going to place your breasts in the device, always using soap.

It is an essential requirement because in another way germs can be transmitted that can kill the baby, also all tools must be washed before and after use.

So before using the bottle or the breast pump it should be washed with soap even if it is clean and it should be placed in boiling water.

After having been placed in boiling water for 20 minutes, the tools can be used to start the process of extract the milk.

After you have used them, you simply have to wash them with soap as I am going to do. "

Einar then took out of a box two glass containers in one he placed water and the other left it empty. Later he took out a jug with water, soap, and a sea sponge.

It was then that, using the sea sponge and the soap, he began to carve all the parts of the bottle and the breast pump.

In the end, he was rinsing using water in the other glass container. That way in a few minutes all the tools were clean.

"Now that we have all the clean tools we just need to show you how to boil the tools correctly, to do so, follow me to the kitchen."

When he finished saying those words, he went to the exit of the room while all the women followed him closely.

After arriving in the kitchen, the first thing he did was light the wood of the stove and later he placed a clay pot with water to heat on the fire.

After this, he washes their hands very well with soap "It is essential to always wash your hands before and after picking up our tools."

When the water was completely boiling, Einar showed how to submerge the bottle and breast pump in the boiling water.

"We must always check that all the things are submerged in the boiling water, since they are placed correctly we will only have to wait ten minutes."

When he finished saying those words, Einar took one of the new hourglasses and turned it over.

"This is an hourglass. It is a fairly new investment that I made to replace the water clock that we commonly use.

I hope it can be mass-produced soon so that all of you can have one in your homes, but you can always use the water clock that you have long created, anyway. "

After waiting 10 minutes for the sand from the clock to fall completely into the other container, Einar used metal tweezers to remove the bottle, pacifier, and breast pump.

All of them were placed on a linen cloth so that they could dry "Remember that cleaning with boiled water should always be used, before and after using the tools.

Tomorrow I will be in charge of solving doubts and I will show you how to keep breast milk fresh in the sand cooler and how long it can last in that state.

This is going to be slow learning, but it is very important that we do it all together, that way in the future babies will always be able to receive care from all the surrounding people. "
