021 - Steiner - Text (Filtered from Garnet plus bad guys)

[Steiner has been thinking about this for some time. Garnet is with child and becoming more obviously pregnant by the day. Zidane still isn't here. That kind of... makes Steiner the default father. At least in his head. He will be responsible for the infant prince or princess just as he has been for Garnet.

Only... babies aren't really Steiner's area of expertise...]

I would like to request some advice! Are there any parents here who might offer their wisdom? My queen I have a friend who is expecting her first child. Since her husband disappeared, she has been left with the heavy burden of bringing up the child alone.

I would offer what assistance I can, but my knowledge of parenting is limited. Should anyone be willing to help, I would be most grateful!

[Deciding this may take some time, and patience, Ashe sets aside the paper in her hands and lends her full attention. Of course, she only has Shain to refer to - children had played little part in her life until she became a mother herself.]

When he was newly born, my son spent a great deal of the day in sleep, waking only to receive milk. In contrast, he was awake far more during the night. Several months passed before his routine altered fully and his sleep pattern regulated.

Crying is their only means of communication; often you must try a number of solutions before the correct one is found. Hunger and changing are the most frequent. As for safety... Ensure comfort. When they begin to crawl, the location must be free of any dangers.

[You are a saviour, Ashe, he will be forever grateful.]

I see! Thank you! It seems best to keep tabs on the infant at all times then.

They must be constantly supervised. Your friend has the means to ensure that?

Yes, she does. That is one thing we certainly have no need to worry about.
