Ah, the mystery of our name at Moms on Call! We've heard the whispers and seen the puzzled looks—does it mean only moms are “on-call”, or are we secretly sidelining the superhero dads? Fear not, for I’m here to spill the beans (or should I say, baby formula?) on why we chose the name "Moms on Call."

The Birth of Moms on Call


Imagine this: Jennifer and I, tackling the turbulent rapids of parenthood with a combined force of 8 kids between us. All the while, we were on-call for a pediatric practice that echoed with more calls than your favorite talk show. Yes, think 100’s of calls a week! This dual-role extravaganza undoubtedly shaped our perspective and laid the foundation for the grand arrival of Moms on Call!


Who’s on-call? Jennifer and I. We were on-call, and we are the dynamic duo behind Moms on Call. Our experiences as moms and on-call warriors fueled the creation of this resourceful haven. So, when you see "Moms on Call," think of us as your go-to mom friends with a direct line to parenting wisdom! Plus, Moms on Call just sounds better than Jennifer and Laura on-call.

The Plot Twist: Moms on Call - Not Just for Moms!


Here comes the plot twist: despite the name, Moms on Call isn't an exclusive moms-only club.
