Moms on Call Basic Baby Care

A game changer for a first time mom (which I am) I am so much more confident and consistency goes a long long way from my experience. And not everyday will be the same and go as planned but going in with a plan everyday will help you ride through the crazy journey called parenthood.

A bought this book for a lot of money, i couldnt afford this book at that time thinking that it will all be worth it, but it is not worth it at all. Infact its a book for marketing their website. Its not worth the price.

I was initially quite concerned when I read the mixed reviews on this book. I still decided to give it a try. I'm so glad that I did. My baby boy is the happiest little child. He is hitting all his milestones and our doctor is pleased with his development. We also get quality time as new parents who are raising him all alone in this pandemic. Its a win. As a new mum, I didn't realise the term "sleep training" has such a huge stigma in our society. I see it as creating a good routine for my baby and our family. We are not putting little babies to work. So some people need to read this book closely to understand the authors' intentions. You take what applies to you and your family and opt-out from the rest. Our little boy sleeps in our room in his crib. We are planning to put him in his own room at the age of 6 months. So again, no one is asking you to lock your baby in a room. You can still follow the routine without compromising what's important to your family. The same principle applies to whether or not you want to start your baby on solids at 4 months. The authors aren't forcing you to do so. This book is merely a guide to help new parents. It also DOES NOT promote cry out method. Our boy is thriving in his new routine and he is happy. That's the most important part. Mums really need to stop shaming other mums who do not want to stay up all night feeding their baby. We still bond with our babies without doing so. I highly recommend this book. My only suggestion is to take what applies to you. It's written from a perspective of 2 nurses and not intended to define psychological effects on children. For me personally, it felt like a friend guiding me through how to tackle the initial newborn stage.

Hay que tener cuidado con la información de este libro. Muchas cosas si me sirvieron, pero dejar a tu bebe llorando es una estupidez. Yo implemente muchas cosas del libro, pero si mi bebé lloraba era porque tenía frio o calor, o hambre o pañalito sucio. Dejarlo llorando para que se duerma NO ES NECESARIO. Si recomiendo el libro pero no esa parte la verdad! Mi bebe duerme toda la noche y no la deje llorar.

I rarely write reviews, but Moms on Call truly deserves one. As a first-time mom to a 3-month-old, I was exhausted and overwhelmed trying to figure out sleep schedules, feeding routines, and all the “what now?” moments that come with a newborn. This book completely changed that for me. It’s written in a friendly, no-nonsense tone and covers everything — from safe sleep and feeding guidelines to nap schedules, bathing, and even baby gear recommendations. What I love most is how simple and structured the advice is. It’s not overwhelming or judgmental, just clear steps that actually work. Within a week of following the suggested routine, my baby started sleeping longer stretches at night — and now, at 3 months old, he’s sleeping through the night consistently. I didn’t think that was possible this early, but it’s real! Even if you don’t follow every single detail, the book gives you a sense of calm and confidence as a parent. The tone is reassuring and backed by real pediatric experience. It’s one of those rare baby books you’ll actually reference over and over again. If you’re a new parent or expecting, don’t hesitate — this will quickly become your go-to guide.

After 10 years of working in childcare I finally had my first child. I knew the repercussions of babies, toddlers and preschool age children who didn’t have quality sleep, yet I realised I didn’t know how to even start. I was also stumped on why my 2,3 and 4 week old baby would not sleep for hours. It didn’t make any sense. I started researching and discovered wake windows and then I discovered Moms on Call. Moms on Call doesn’t focus on wake windows, although you can see it in the schedules that the book provides. Instead, moms on call focus on setting up quality sleep habits, daytime and nighttime, bath time, and future goals of sleeping through the night. Moms on call offer a nap and play schedule for babies in different weeks and months of life, and you know it’s just a guide. I began following the schedule and sometimes I’m 30 mins ahead or behind. But that doesn’t matter (so far) because I am learning and my baby just wants there to be a schedule to feel safe. Not a mum rocking her after 9 hours of on and off again feeding because we’re overtired not actually hungry. I would suggest this book to every parent. Even the organised ones because this book helped relieve tension and the guessing for me.

looking forward to try the sleep schedule! Got this based on a recommendation and I’m glad I did indeed :)
