Little Dito is still learning the rhythm of his world—when to play, when to rest, and when to drink the milk he depends on. But today, something changed. As he reached out to nurse, Mama Daisy suddenly turned on him with sharp warning gestures.
She didn’t allow him near. Her message was clear: “Not now.”
Baby Dito didn’t understand. Confused, he tried again, gently crawling toward her for comfort. But instead of a warm response, Daisy pushed him away again—this time with more force. Her reaction startled him. His eyes filled with tears, and he let out soft cries of frustration and sadness.
Why would a mother deny her baby milk?
In the world of monkeys, weaning is a natural process—but it can be emotional for both mother and child. Sometimes, mothers begin to limit nursing as babies grow, pushing them toward independence. But for the baby, it feels like rejection—especially when the response is sudden or firm.
To little Dito, it wasn’t just about milk. It was about love, closeness, and the sense of safety he feels when he’s near his mom.
