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

This is a place where we primarily talk sleep, as well as other real life and parenting topics, but I also love having guests come on and share their expertise with us. I’m interviewing Dr. Lindsay Massumi, my favorite pelvic floor physical therapist, and we’re going to talk all things pelvic floor PT, and also […]

I hate to break the news to you, but it’s my responsibility to remind you…Daylight Saving Time is coming. If you’re not ready to think about it yet or don’t want to think about it, then just get out of this post and read another one. But if you want to start wrapping your mind […]

Last week I invited you into my brain and walked you through my thought process when a parent asks why their baby is still waking up at night – or why they’re all of a sudden waking again. We’re continuing that conversation this week with toddlers. Why is your toddler still waking at night? Or […]

Question for you… Have you ever been worried about being out late with your baby or toddler because they might fall asleep in the car, and then what? Or have you ever tried transferring a sleeping baby to their bed for the night and it just didn’t go well? If so, this post is for […]

Last week, we talked all about short naps, but focused specifically on when babies take short naps and how to lengthen them. And while there is certainly some overlap, this week I want to focus specifically on toddlers and how to solve toddlers’ short naps. Toddlers are amazing and wild and so challenging and so […]

Does your toddler or older child get nervous at bedtime? Are they afraid of the dark? Or of monsters in the closet? Or are they simply anxious around sleep, but unable to explain why? Fears and anxiety around bedtime is common! Especially as kids’ imaginations start to run wild, or they see something scary in […]

People often think sleep consultants are just for babies – maybe for toddlers. But big kids?? Yes! Here at Via Graces, we work with kids up until the age of 8. And yes, we’ve worked with 8 year olds who have never slept in their own bed all night, or who have always experienced night […]
