The tiny newborn monkey lay on a soft cloth, his damp fur slightly fluffed up from the bath. His fragile body trembled as he let out a small whimper, curling his delicate fingers. His mother, sitting beside him, carefully held his tiny form, making sure he felt safe and warm.
After his soothing bath, it was time to care for his umbilical cord. The little one had been born just a few days ago, and his cord still needed gentle cleaning to prevent infection. His mom reached for a small cotton pad soaked in Betadine, her touch gentle yet firm.
As soon as the cool antiseptic touched his skin, the baby let out a faint squeak, wriggling slightly in discomfort. His tiny eyes squinted as he let out soft, pitiful cries, his body flinching from the sensation. His mother hushed him sweetly, stroking his head to calm him down.
She continued dabbing the Betadine carefully around his healing cord, making sure to clean it properly. The little monkey pouted, his tiny lips forming an adorable frown as he whimpered. His mom smiled, softly whispering comforting sounds to reassure him.
Once the cleaning was done, she gently wrapped him in a warm towel, cradling him close to her chest. Feeling the warmth of his mother, the baby monkey finally relaxed. His breathing slowed, and his tiny hands gripped onto her fur, seeking comfort.
In his mother’s care, the fragile newborn would grow strong. The simple act of cleaning his cord was more than just a routine—it was a mother’s love, ensuring her baby was safe and healthy.
