Baby, Infant
noun
Here's a weird one for you. You have a red monk. What is this? It's a baby. Think about it. Babies, when they come out, are all red. Also, they have a shaved head, just like a monk would. So, a "red monk" is really just a baby. I wonder who's getting the shorter end of the stick here, the monk or the baby? Probably the monk.
あかんぼう
The reading is the kun'yomi vocab reading of 赤 (you learned this with the kanji) and the reading you learned for 坊 as well.
ミルクもあげてみたし、オムツもかえてみたでしょ。それに、ゲップもさせてみた。あーどうしたら赤ん坊を泣き止ませることができるんだろう。
We already tried feeding him, changing him, and burping him. Well, how can we get this baby to stop crying?
