The tiny newborn baby monkey, A Tong, wiggled restlessly in his cozy basket. His delicate little body had only just entered the world, yet he already faced the small discomforts of babyhood. This time, it was an itchy feeling around his private area that made him squirm, whimper, and look so helpless. His innocent eyes blinked open, and his soft lips trembled as if he wanted to cry but couldn’t quite find the strength.
Mama, who had been carefully watching every move, immediately noticed her little one’s discomfort. Her heart filled with worry and tenderness. A Tong was so tiny, so fragile, and so precious that every small whimper felt like a loud call for help. Without hesitation, she gently lifted him with both hands, whispering softly to soothe his anxious little cries.
For the first time, Mama reached for a small cream prepared especially for newborns. With care as gentle as a breeze, she applied the cream to A Tong’s private area, making sure every touch was light and comforting. At first, A Tong twitched and fidgeted, unsure of what was happening. But soon, as the soothing coolness of the cream sank into his skin, his tiny body relaxed. His squirming slowed, and his little face softened into peace.
Mama smiled warmly, feeling relief spread through her heart. She knew that taking care of a newborn was not only about feeding and keeping him warm, but also about ensuring comfort in every detail. This moment—though small—was filled with love, patience, and the tender bond between a mother and her baby.
After the cream was gently applied, A Tong closed his eyes and let out the sweetest sigh, curling his tiny hands as though thanking Mama for her care. The room grew quiet, filled only with the gentle sound of his breathing.
It was a simple act, yet deeply meaningful. For the first time, Mama had eased her baby’s discomfort with love, showing that every little problem could be solved with patience, protection, and an endless heart of care.
