Diary of a Doula I’m a birth doula and doula mentor located in central Connecticut. Come hang out with me here whil

My name is Melissa Duenas and I am a birth and postpartum Doula. I support parents through pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum and beyond. I love this work and feel honored to be part of such an amazing journey for so many. I specialize in dealing with those who have perinatal mood disorders, anxiety, or have PTSD (this include spouses). I also work with many military families or those with schedules that may require specialty care.

The steps to paced bottle feeding:

Feed them only when they show hunger cues. Daycares often put babies in schedules, which can lead to over/under feeding

Hold baby in an upright position

Switch baby from side to side (at least until 12weeks)

15-20min long feeds

Consistent with breastfeeding rhythm. Take pauses.

Gently allow for baby to pull the bottle in

Feed them only until they’re full
