Celebrating 20 Years: Top 4 Moms on Call Topics

At Moms on Call, we love listening to the families who trust us to help bring clarity and confidence to the early years of parenting. Over the years, there have been a few topics that parents ask us about again and again. We’ve always touched on them, but now we’ve pulled them together in one place so you have the tools, encouragement, and guidance you need—right at your fingertips. Our hope? That these answers not only give you solutions to the challenges you’re facing today, but also equip you with confidence for the questions you may not even have yet.

Here are the four most requested topics we’re thrilled to add in our 20th Anniversary Editions of our resources!

1. Wake Windows—The Moms on Call Way 

You’ve probably heard the term wake windows. At Moms on Call, we approach it a little differently. Instead of chasing a clock down to the minute, we help you set rhythms and routines that work in real life.

Here’s the truth: babies thrive when they know what to expect. We focus on predictable cycles of feeding, activity, and rest—not on constantly calculating and recalculating. This gives you freedom to enjoy your baby, without feeling tied to a stopwatch.

2. Schedule Flexibility 

Life happens. Appointments run long, family comes to visit, and sometimes naps just don’t line up. That’s why schedule flexibility is built into Moms on Call from the very beginning.

Think of it as two guiding lines—the right-hand and the left-hand rails—that create space for you to move while still staying on track. And when things feel completely off, we’ve got reset points that help you get back on rhythm without the stress. It’s realistic parenting with a plan you can depend on.

3. Early Morning Wake-Ups 

Few things test your patience like those 4:45 a.m. baby eyes wide open! Early morning wake-ups are common, but they don’t have to become the norm.

We walk you through what to check in your routine, your environment, and even your feeding schedule. And when you’ve tried it all? That’s where the Moms on Call “hat trick” comes in—a simple, practical solution that often makes all the difference.

4. Short Naps 

Here’s the honest truth: short naps happen. And sometimes, they’re developmentally normal. With Moms on Call, we set realistic expectations while helping you shape consistency in routine and environment.

When you know what’s realistic, you can stop second-guessing and start resting in the confidence that your little one (and you!) are on the right track.

Realistic expectations + solid rhythms = peace of mind.

Why We Finally Added These 

We chose these four topics because they come up in conversations with parents every single day. They represent the real-life frustrations that can leave you wondering, Am I doing this right?

By adding them, our heart is to give you encouragement and clear answers—whether you’re in the thick of it today or about to encounter it tomorrow. At Moms On Call, we believe parenting doesn’t have to be complicated. With a little guidance, it can be simplified.
