The poor newborn baby monkey looked so delicate.
His tiny face had become red from his own little scratches, marks from his soft but sharp nails.
So small…
So fragile.
“Eee…”
A weak, uncomfortable sound came from him.
At this age, babies don’t understand control yet. Their tiny hands move randomly, and sometimes they accidentally scratch their own face.
The redness made him look even more vulnerable.
Mom noticed right away.
She moved closer gently, her touch soft and careful. She checked his face, making sure the scratches were not deep.
Then—
She carefully cleaned the area, keeping everything clean and safe to prevent irritation.
Her movements were slow.
Gentle.
Full of care.
To protect him, she made sure his nails would be trimmed or covered, helping prevent more scratches in the future.
The baby slowly calmed down in her presence.
“Eee…”
A softer sound now.
His tiny body relaxed as he felt safe again.
For such a small newborn, even little scratches can happen easily—but with gentle care and protection, he can heal and stay safe as he grows stronger.
