The pain of chapped nipples, mothers, don’t carry it hard.

I believe that mothers who breast-milk their babies will not be too unfamiliar with such a scene: The mother was lying on her side to nurse the baby, and the baby was also struggling to suck it.

Is it really OK for the baby to take medicine for his mother when he catches a cold?

Although mothers take good care of their babies, sometimes they will still get sick if they are not careful. Looking at the suffering baby, the mother felt distressed and wished she could get sick on her own behalf. This is obviously unrealistic, so some mothers have found an alternative method-taking medicine for their babies and then giving it to their children through breast milk. This is obviously wrong.
