    Is there context?
    Cos the meaning is “faster give birth to son” mantou(buns)

    i guess it can be described something like
    Buns to bless early childbirth

    Here’s a mantou for you which is a pun that symbolises having children soon!
    Don’t know but I tried~

    馒头 is just another word for baby, same as 贵子... Because a baby's head looks like a round mantou.
    i.e. "I hope you have a baby soon!"
