yea i was definitely excited to see the interactions with the baby but we only get to see that for comedic relief. I don’t if it’s because the artist isn’t experienced in drawing babies. Every. scene we get the baby is always kinda floating there
I was actually kind of excited for her baby to be born but in the end was ultimately disappointed . . . There was an attempt made to show the depth of love that she felt for her baby and how that connected her to her mother, but the baby felt all but forgotten or more like an object that a precious being even right after she had given birth.
Ideally, a baby actually shouldn't leave their mother's side right after birthing and should actually be allowed to find their mother's breast and immediately start nursing. This is pretty important developmentally and should and can take priority before even cutting the umbilical chord or cleaning the baby. There are exceptions of course if the baby needs medical attention, but other than that, this is one of the healthiest labor progressions. (Tho it's generally overlooked especially in hospital settings)
Anyway, I wasn't even too bothered by the fact that they took the baby away, but more so that she just wasn't even looking for her baby right after giving birth which I feel like is the natural reaction when you pop out a baby that you've been waiting for for 9 months (if you wanted it in the first place that is)
She seemed too busy being romantic with her husband which makes me question whether there's really room in their relationship for a child, and also based on the jealousy expressed by her husband (towards a literal newborn) I'd probably say that no there isn't
I've been enjoying this story ofc and it's probably one of my favorites, I was just really looking forward to this aspect and I just felt like it really fell flat emotionally :
