Cayla Caufield

HI, I’M CAYLA.

I’m a doula, educator, Birth & Baby Specialist, and co-founder of Welcome Baby Co.—but more than anything, I’m someone who really loves helping people figure out the wonderfully complicated business of having a baby.

I became a doula in 2017, initially drawn to supporting families through pregnancy and birth. But after working with hundreds of families, it became increasingly clear to me that birth was only one piece of the story. Families were going home with a brand-new person and suddenly navigating feeding, recovery, sleep, newborn behaviour, conflicting advice and the enormous adjustment of becoming parents.

That realization has shaped the work I do today. My experience now spans birth and postpartum preparation, lactation and infant feeding, newborn care and infant sleep education. I love being able to connect those pieces rather than treating each one as an entirely separate problem—because in real life, they rarely are.

I’m a bit of an information person, so I’ll happily explain the “why” behind a recommendation. But I also know that evidence has to work in an actual household at 3 a.m. My approach combines education with practical, real-life support and a healthy respect for the fact that every baby and every family is different.

I won’t tell you there is one right way to do this. Instead, I’ll help you understand your options, answer your questions honestly, and find what works for your family. Whether you’re preparing for birth, working through feeding challenges, wondering what on earth your newborn is doing, or trying to understand sleep, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
