It took about a week for Matron to settle in! This 22 lb. 8 month old missed her 17 year old mom! She had been breastfed right up to the moment of coming to Kasensa and when the mom developed a huge cavernous hole in one of her breasts she had to stop nursing so mom could "dry up" and qualify to get surgery(in Livingstone).
As well, Matron was fully bonded to her mom and didn't want too much to do with us strangers in this strange place.
Now....she's drinking and eating well and playing with the other babies. I think she knows she has a weight advantage and Potius also knows as she sometimes grabs this more fragile little guy and then he wails!
