Poor little Selena was already very hungry.
She sat quietly at first, watching Mom busy with other things while waiting patiently for her milk and attention. Her tiny tummy growled softly as she stared with hopeful little eyes.
But time kept passing.
And Mom still wasn’t finished.
Slowly, Selena’s tiny face became sadder and sadder. Her lips trembled into a deep pout while tears slowly filled her eyes from hunger and disappointment.
Then—
“AHHHHH!”
Selena burst into loud crying.
Her tiny body shook emotionally while she reached desperately toward Mom, clearly unable to wait any longer. Poor hungry baby looked completely heartbroken and exhausted from waiting.
Mom immediately realized how long Selena had been waiting alone.
“Oh no… poor baby Selena.”
Instant regret filled Mom’s face.
She quickly hurried over and picked the emotional little baby into warm loving arms while softly apologizing and comforting her.
“I’m sorry, baby…”
Selena continued sobbing sadly for a moment, tiny tears rolling down her cheeks while clinging tightly against Mom’s chest.
Mom quickly prepared her milk and cuddled her close, making sure she felt loved and important again.
Finally—
The loud crying slowly softened into tiny hungry sniffles.
Because sometimes, even a little extra waiting can feel very painful—
for a tiny hungry baby wanting only Mom’s love and care.
