A week ago Thursday, I went to Kampala, Uganda for a meeting for the day. I left for the airport at 6 in the morning and didn’t get home until 10 pm. It was a long day and the meeting was ok – somewhat interesting though a bit slow moving. It was a long time to be away from the baby. She drank from the bottle just fine and Stephen reported that overall, she was a very good girl. We had finally figured out that she likes her bottle warm. If the milk is too cold, she is NOT interested.
I am still getting up once a night to feed her. I am wondering if I should try just getting her to go back asleep without feeding her – though she always seems hungry. It would be nice if she would sleep through the night, but the doctor said some babies continue not to as that is just their rhythm.
One of the nights we were in Mombasa (see Stephen's post of today), she was waking up every hour. I was not feeding her every time; I just don’t know why she kept waking up though. I wonder if she wasn’t cold, but even wrapping her up didn’t help her to go much longer than 2 hours. I was pretty tired the next day.
