Pallavi's pov.
I woke up from my sleep at one in the morning by hearing Aarav cry. I sat up in bed and picked him up cradling him to my chest.
"What wrong my baby? Good Babies don't cry and you're the best baby in the world... shhh" I cooed. But unfortunately it was no use. Aarav still continued crying. I recalled that the nurse told me babies tend to cry when they are hungry. Even though she had gone over how to breastfeed, I was still a bit nervous.
I laid Aarav gently on his side and turned towards him. I opened my gown and placed my breast in his mouth. Thank god he took it. As soon as he latched on and started to drink his cries stopped. I looked down at him and noticed he was struggling to keep grip so he started to get frustrated and ended up crying again.
I decided to pick him up and try just sitting with him but that didn't work either. He was not latching on with me sitting up holding him normally.
my poor baby.
"is everything okay?" I heard Raghav ask, his voice laced with sleep.
"He's not latching on properly and when he does he ends up letting go. I'll try laying with him again." I said as Raghav nodded and walked over to my bed. I tried the first position again and Aarav was still kept on losing his grip.
"Raghav, what if he doesn't like me? Maybe that's why he's not latching on." I said as my voice cracked.
"Hey, you are his mother he loves you. It's going to take time for him to get used to it. We just have to be patient." He said sweetly as I nodded.
" I just don't want him to get frustrated and think I'm pulling away from him." I looked down at the tiny baby in my arms trying to latch onto my nipple. I caressed his little head feeling bad knowing my child is hungry yet I can't do anything to help him.
"Your boob is literally bigger than his head, give it some time he'll latch on eventually. Besides he is not experienced in this task like me." Raghav said smirking.
"Raghavvv." I said as we both ended up laughing.
my laughing stopped suddenly making me let out a gasp instead when I felt Aarav latch on tightly.
"oh my god, he's doing it." I whispered in excitement.
" see I told you, he'll be an expert in no time." Raghav said causing me to chuckle slightly.
I stared in awe at my baby, this was actually happening and it was such a surreal moment.
"This is so beautiful." I heard Raghav whisper as he took a photo.
I looked at him confused.
"Do not worry I'm not going to show your boob to anyone, I just want to have these moments kept with me forever." He said sweetly.
I smiled at him
"You are going to be an amazing father." I said.
"you are already an amazing mother, I'm so proud of you my love." He said before kissing my temple.
'oh yeah, our family members are coming tomorrow, well I mean today." I nodded and Aarav started to loosen his grip and his eyes were closing.
I rocked him in my arms gently as he drifted off to sleep.
"He is a really happy baby. He only cries when he needs something." Raghav nodded and stroked Aarav's head lightly.
" we are probably being biased but he is literally the cutest baby in the world." I said kissing his little head softly before placing him on the bed.
