As a new, first time mom, I had so much anxiety with sleep training, schedules, and simply caring for my sweet baby girl. This book has CHANGED me and my husband’s life!!! Our baby started sleeping fully through the night at 3 months old all thanks to Moms on call. I have given this book to all my new mom’s friends. I could not recommend this enough.
The book was delivered to the new mom so quickly!!
Bought as a hift for a first time mom. She was very happy to get this gift.

I am really excited to read this book, as on first look it feels like it will answer many questions about the "4th trimester". I have been recommended this book a lot by new mothers because it covers various topics like feeding, sleeping, sicknesses, etc. This feels like the perfect resource for the new mom!
This book is so helpful and is chock full of information you need especially as a first time parent. It is a game changer for sleep training, feeding, and everyday routines plus so much more. We’ve been following the book since our baby was 2 weeks old and it’s helped all of us thrive so much. Huge confidence boost for us as first time parents. Get the book!!!
This is the best book you can have, we are first time parents and our baby boy started to sleep by himself when he was one month and a half, if you want a happy marriage and a happy baby follow the routines of this book, believe me it works!!!
Seriously, stop googling everything and just get this book. I'm a first time mom. I was recommended this book by at least two people before I gave birth and suffered through anxious googling and a difficult first month with our daughter before finally remembering about this book. I wish I had it before she was born because it's so no-nonsense and to the point. You can take everything with a grain of salt because it's just two women's opinions but darn it, they are right 99% of the time. And the SCHEDULES! seriously a lifesaver for our military family, we love schedules and checklists and so far these ones have worked wonderfully for us. Get this book, gift it to your mom friends, tell everyone about it. I already have and my friend who is having her second baby bought it on Amazon while she was right in front of me. Great stuff!

Very informational
My wife and I bought the Mom's on Call book and blanket for our twin grandchildren and again 5 years later for their little sister. I cared for them when their parents were working and what a blessing the information on swaddling was. The sleep patterns that they gained and learned while using the MOC method gave them peaceful sleep and us too. We have bought copies of the books for all of our children, their friends, and the young parents for our neighborhood and church! A great conformation was when those we had introduced Moms on Call to bought copies for their friends. The book is a perfect baby shower gift.
Great experience
This is the book I give as a shower gift to all new Moms. It has all the information they need for those crucial first few months. Then, they may buy the rest of the series if it was helpful. I have gotten so many thanks from new Moms for this gift that it will always be the first gift I think to give!
This book was so helpful as we are preparing for our first baby. I used this book as a nanny and can’t wait to use it with our son. Even as a pediatric emergency nurse I feel like I learned so much for how to care for the day to day of my little one.
I first used this book five years ago before and after the birth of my baby girl. I have most recently bought it for my little sister, who is now awaiting her first baby now too. It is SO great for new moms and families. It should be a gift from every OBGYN to every new mom 💛
I recommend this book to literally every mom I know. I currently have a 6 week old (third baby) and I’ve used this book with each of my kids. I SWEAR by it! I love a schedule and routine and I also love to sleep at night. All of my children have thrived with this and slept all night consistently by 3 months. Stick to the schedule and see the results.
Great reference for new parents. Provides a lot of peace of mind
This was recommended to me by my sister-in-law whose daughter had a copy when she had twins. My grandson has his days and nights mixed up, so this book was highly recommended. I bought it for my daughter and looked through it when I saw it, and I was pleasantly surprised it was Christian. As believers ourselves, it was refreshing. There are SOOO many helpful things in the book, and my daughter is going to love it! She just received it.
Very helpful
Must read for all new moms.
People like to joke that "babies don't come with a user manual"- well Mom's on Call is just that. I think so much of the newborn phase isn't intuitive and Moms on Call helps you figure out those tiny mysterious creatures we call babies. I can honestly say I enjoyed parenting so much more after finding Mom's on Call.
I recently became a first time grandmother. I ordered the bundle set for my daughter this Christmas.
This set is an invaluable reference guide for a first time mom, and a refresher for me!
This book is great! I will say, it tells you to follow everything to the T. Personally, I did not. But I used it as a guide. Bought it 3-4 weeks ago. My 3 month old now, sleeps through the night, waking up once some days randomly between 4-6am as we slowly drop the last feed in the night. I did increase his ounces during the day slowly. Now he drink any where between 5-6 ounces during the day with it being 5 feeds. Honestly, i have no idea why this book has bad reviews. Use it as a guideline. I never let him cry it out, i just kept putting his paci back in and it worked. Make it your own!!! Thank you moms on call!
Read my daughter’s copy and found it is a great reference. Ordered one for me, another for a baby shower. And then ordered the bundle of books. Great as gifts!
This might not be for everyone but it was definitely for me. I am the kind of person that likes structure and answers. This book gives that and more. As a first time mom there are lots of questions on what the day to day should look like. The schedules provided in this book are so incredibly helpful. My baby has been following the routine and schedule since 2 months. He is now 6 months and thriving! Don’t take this as a “way to get your baby to sleep through the night”. It might do that for you, but many baby’s still need a night feed. My baby dropped his last night feed at 5 months. What it does do is make bedtime and night wakings pretty straightforward! Highly recommend for the moms that love structure and routine!!
New mom here and love this book. Short - to the point advice and great education. Keep it on my nightstand to refer to and re-read all the time.
Can't recommend this book enough I think every new month should be given a copy so useful n my grandson sleeps thru night 4mos old with little to no crying
LOVE THIS BOOK!!! GET IT FOR ALL THE MOM TO BE AND MOMMY'S ! I got this for my sister and she loves it, Great book and it helped out so much when I had my little girl. as a first time mom this was my go to book
I’m about halfway through already and have found this book to be super helpful for me as a first time mom. So many good tips and tricks and spells things out in a super easy to understand way, and doesn’t make me feel overwhelmed with information. I would definitely recommend this book!
Very helpful book. As first time parents we were not even sure where to start but this book gave us guidelines while also allowing us to use our own methods as well. We followed the sleep and eating schedules very closely to get into routine and had our twins sleeping 11 hour stretches at night by 12 weeks old!
