Your Child (TLV)

Your Child is a character in Harvest Moon 3D: The Lost Valley.

Once the player gets married, they will have an option to have a child. To trigger the pregnancy event, talk to Doc when he is in Moon Valley to buy a crib, which will be available after your wedding ceremony. The player needs to bring Doc 10 Softwood Lumber, 5 Wool, 2 Orichalcum, and 7000 G. Upon waking up in the morning after 31 days have passed, the player's spouse will ask if they prefer to have a boy or girl.

In the morning after 33 days have gone by, the female one will feel unwell. Tabitha arrives to help with the delivery and after the baby is born, she will give the player a rattle, milk bottle, and 10 Formula Milk. Afterwards, the player's spouse will ask them to choose a name for their child (up to 10 letters). The birthing event will take most of the day and end at 8pm.

Hanna will sell the recipe for Formula Milk in her shop for 450 G and processed Formula Milk for 800 G each. To make your own, buy the recipe from Hanna, then locate it within the 1-star category of cooking recipes within your kitchen. The player needs to combine 2 Milk or use 1 Great Milk (or higher) to create Formula Milk.

Baby Care
While sleeping in crib, the baby cannot be picked up, but can be interacted by standing next to the crib and pressing the A button. During this stage, the baby has their own sleep schedule. Even though the player wakes up at 6am, the baby does not wake up until 7am. Players can tell if the baby is hungry by noticing the baby bottle icon that floats above their head, then press A to feed them Formula Milk. You can also press A to sooth the baby and to talk to it. At 3pm, the baby will go to sleep until 6pm. They will stay awake until 8pm.

If the player does not feed the baby at all, they will cry during the night and disrupt their sleep. In the morning, the player will not wake up until 8am and their health will be at a green face level, meaning all of their farm actions will use up more stamina than if they had a yellow healthy face.

The baby will begin to crawl 30 days after their birth and walk 30 days afterward. The player will see their baby wandering around house, where they can be given Formula Milk and play with the rattle to sooth it. The child will still sleep from 7am to 8am and take a nap from 3pm to 6pm.

Sleeping Sickness
Once the child is 60 days old, the player will discover that they cannot wake up. The baby will be diagnosed with Sleeping Sickness, which the player must cure them by doing certain task. After the sickness is cured, the baby will start to talk normally.

Full Grown
In another 30 days after curing the baby's Sleeping Sickness, they will be fully-grown. The player's spouse will give them a book to use to play as a replacement for the baby Rattle. To use the Picture Book, talk to your child and select the book option.

Farm Help
Once the child reaches about 80% Chemistry, they will offer to help the player out with some of the farm work. Talk to your child between 1pm and 5pm, Monday through Friday, to ask for assistance with your crops. They will head out to the valley to water a few squares, about one per hour.

The child works the same way as the Harvest Sprites; one day must end between work sessions. In addition, the crops must grow in the area by the entrance to the valley. If the crops are too far away, the player will not have "Ask for Help" option when they talk to their child during the 1-to-5 period.
