Richard and I went to a wedding on Saturday; it was a long time friend's (Julia Chow) special day. She was gorgeous, as usual. It was an all-adult's wedding so no kids were invited. We had to leave Julia at home with the inlaws and boy did they have their hands busy.
Julia has converted to bottlefeeding just recently and we thought that she would be ok with staying home. But as it turned out, Julia decided to be unhappy the entire night and she wasn't hungry while we were out. She didn't take any milk for the entire 6 hours Richard and I were away. She missed 2 feedings.
I have a feeling that the inlaws did not know how to feed her (because they've never fed her with a bottle before) and at the same time, Julia has slight separation anxiety so she didn't feel comfortable with the inlaws. Both of these things combined made it an awful night.
We left the wedding early (after 11 speeches) at 10pm and got home by 11pm, just in time when Julia woke up screaming. We gave Julia her bath and a full bottle of milk before going to bed. It was a long day.
