Your little one's sleep doesn't have to be a mystery

Last week, I shared all about our challenging sleep journey with baby number four due to some airway issues, especially the first nine months of his life. So today, I’m going to be talking all about what sleep training him actually looked like once we got the green light from our ENT. I’m going to […]

We welcomed our fourth baby and first son, James, into the world last February, and he has just been the happiest baby! Rather than being the “easy” last baby, however, he struggled with sleep from day one. We never had any intentions of co-sleeping and really weren’t comfortable with it, but we didn’t have another […]

We had our fourth baby back in February, and while he is the cutest little guy and it’s a total joy to be his mama, we have also had some bumps along the road, including with nursing! So in this post, I’ll be walking you through my breastfeeding journey with James the first 12 weeks […]

In last week’s post, I shared the birth story of the most recent addition to our family, baby number four and our first boy – little James. And I shared that we had a homebirth! I always get lots of questions about homebirths, so in this post, I’m going to share our why behind having […]

This week we’re on a related topic but also really different…we’re going to talk about weaning […]

This week, I am interviewing my teammate, Maura, and she is sharing about her fertility journey and how that impacted her mindset around her son James’ sleep when he was a baby, and how that continues to impact her parenting mindset today. We’re going to bring to light how when families had to wait a […]

A lot of newborn families think that those first several weeks equal sleepless nights, never your being able to put your baby down, survival mode, and pure exhaustion. And I’m not pretending those things aren’t real – there will absolutely be sleepless nights, newborn babies definitely love those snuggles (as do we!), some days you […]

I’ve said before that I love all things pregnancy, birth, and babies, so each pregnancy I go into, I know more and more. By the time we were pregnant with our third baby, I had heard more stories about tongue ties and lip ties, what the signs were a baby might have oral restrictions, and […]

Many people have heard of pediatric sleep coaching, although there are still many parents who don’t know it exists. Most people, however, have not yet heard of adult sleep coaching, and I’m excited to announce that Via Graces now officially has an adult sleep coach on the team! In this blog post, I am introducing […]
