Seeking medical care whenever you are concerned is recommended by Moms on Call.

Any time that you are concerned, or notice any symptoms, call your pediatricians office. Sometimes babies have discreet symptoms like a fever and at other times there is just something that you cant explain; call it mothers intuition or a nagging feeling that something may be wrong. Those are both valid reasons to seek medical attention. Many of the concepts addressed in this book vary from pediatrician to pediatrician. When it comes to your childs care, you are responsible for making the final decisions.

Hello! We are Laura Hunter, LPN and Jennifer Walker, RN, BSN, two moms and pediatric nurses who decided it was time to write a how-to childcare book that moms could really usea book by moms and for moms that addressed reality. No psychobabble, not the exhaustive book of disorders that could cause immediate anxiety in the calmest of mothers. Nosomething different. Something we knew moms needed.

How did we know? Well, between us, we are raising 8 children: two girls (thanks to Laura), two sets of twin boys and two singleton boys. We did so without nannies or night-nurses (although my mother-in-law was a life- saver Jen). Now, the clincher here is what we did to help earn enough money to be home during the day to enjoy each and every sloppy meal and stay home at night to snuggle up to whichever child had the current virus that was going around the school.
