Why This Program Exists

Infant sleep challenges are rarely just about sleep. This program exists to guide families through the early weeks and months with a calm, structured, and supportive system that addresses the many factors influencing sleep, including:

Feeding & Breastfeeding

Newborn Routines

Nap Structure

Gentle, Responsive Sleep Training
(Beginning Around Week 12)

The goal is not perfection — it’s confidence, clarity, and sustainable rest for your whole household.

Hey there!

I’m Shakila,

founder of DOULAS by the BAY.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with children and families, and for the last 16 years, I’ve walked alongside thousands of parents through pregnancy, birth, and the newborn days. I started DOULAS by the BAY because I believe no parent should have to navigate this life-changing season alone.

Today, I’ve built a trusted team of certified, fully vetted doulas who are CPR trained, HIPAA compliant, Perinatal Mood Disorders Certified, and protected by workers’ compensation and liability insurance. Our shared vision is simple: to provide families with safe, compassionate, and reliable care—so you can feel seen, supported, and truly confident as you welcome your baby.
