Whether you are bringing home a new little one, or you are a seasoned parent or grandparent- babies bring with them a lot of sleepless nights and uncertainty and we are here to help!

My testimonial to Moms on Call with April:
“For anyone who is on the fence of hiring a sleep consultant, specifically April, I can personally attest to how amazing the entire experience has been for my family. I was a little hesitant at the price but when I learned that I would have access to her for three whole months, the cost was easily justified. Beyond that, my husband and I were so desperate for some sleep. This was our second child and we didn’t understand why we were failing this time around (or what felt like failing).
My son didn’t sleep more than 20 minutes at a time since the day we brought him home from the hospital. At 3 weeks old, I had had it and saw April’s name recommended on a Facebook group. I was in tears before calling her. April spent over an hour with me on the phone, gathered our history, and put a plan in place. She was available whenever I needed her and even called me when she knew I just needed it.
Within two weeks, we figured out that my son had severe acid reflux (April has been a NICU nurse for over 17 years so I trusted her expertise). She encouraged me before my visits with the pediatrician and after some meds and a wonderful schedule, my son was sleeping through the night. I was a new person and I had a new baby.
My son went from screaming and fussing all day to laughing and smiling and rolling with the punches. By 3 months old, he was sleeping 12 hours at night with no wake ups or feeds and he took all of his naps independently. No more rocking to sleep. I was able to put him down awake, say goodnight, and off to sleep he went.
April is the most calming, supportive, and caring person. I couldn’t have asked for a better supporter in my corner. She is encouraging and always had an answer for all of my questions. All of her suggestions were successful for my son. She spent a lot of time troubleshooting his schedule when things were changing and needed adjustments. Her emails and phone calls were very detailed. She took a lot of time to really give thoughtful advice. She honestly went above and beyond and it’s just obvious that this is her passion to help families. I truly believe she saved me from going down a dark hole in these first few months of newborn craziness! Thank you SO much, April. I am such a better mom because of you! I will miss working together!”    Kristin, B.

“I think that making the decision to work with April is one of the best decisions a new parent could possibly make. Her expertise and compassion are easily worth the money, and honestly, worth more than what she charges.  My husband and I like things to be under control, but didn’t know anything about babies. When our twelve-week old daughter was not eating well, crying most of the night, and seemed really uncomfortable and unhappy a lot of the time, we weren’t sure what to do and didn’t have a consistent source of information. I somehow stumbled on the Moms on Call website and by the next day I was on the phone with April.  The fact that she’s not only an experienced mother but also a NICU nurse made me 100% confident in her guidance because we knew everything comes from a place of medical expertise. She created a super-detailed written plan for us that we started following to the letter and like an actual miracle, everything started falling into place. We had an additional challenge in that our daughter had a clubfoot and wore a painful brace for a few months. April personalized our plan based on that and when we had some very specific questions, she was able to canvass her network of colleagues to get additional guidance, which meant a lot to us.  Our daughter now sleeps all night from 7 pm-7 am, finishes each bottle easily, and is happy and well-rested. My husband and I are now also well-rested and are lives are under control again and it is thanks in large part to April’s help. I cannot recommend her enough.” Maida, F.

“As a first time mom who often felt like I had no idea what to do with a newborn or when to do it, I cannot tell you how big a game changer it was for us to engage April’s services. My little guy was 6 weeks old and I just thought it was totally normal for him to go with no nap between morning feedings, to hate bath time, hate tummy time, and not sleep large chunks at night. Thanks to April I learned that this is NOT true and doesn’t have to be your reality. I read the Moms on Call book and April came over that week. We had what I like to call new momma boot camp. She taught me how to give a bath, cut nails, feed properly, swaddle right (with a real blanket -something I failed horribly at in the hospital), read sleepy vs hunger cues, handle the first cold, and most importantly how to start sleep training via soothing rounds. My son started napping better almost immediately. Even with his first cold he was sleeping 8-9 hours a night within the next few weeks. Now at 13 weeks he sleeps from 7:30pm to 7am, drinks 30oz a day, loves bath time, and is a happy baby. April and I emailed every day or two as she gets very invested with her families and want to make sure she gives proper support and sets them up for success. We even plan to keep using April’s email communication packages through the first year of our sons life, as she proves every day (sometimes multiple times a day) just how valuable she is. For new dads reading this, my husband says that using April’s help has gotten him his happy wife back, our family sleeping better, and is the best thing we’ve spent money on since having our baby. If you are considering if this is worth it, or will help your family, the answer is 100% yes!” Lindsey, D.

“After having my first baby I quickly realized that the old saying “it takes a village” is very accurate.  Thankfully, April became a vital member of my “village” in the early days as a new mom! April is a seasoned mom with so much knowledge about babies.  Having her in my corner gave me confidence and answers to the endless list of questions that I had.  Not only is she knowledgeable but she also has such a big heart and genuinely wanted for me to be successful.  I am so thankful for all the advice and tools that April gave me”!      Katelyn, P.

“My husband and I worked with April after our first daughter was born.  We decided to follow the Mom’s on Call program specifically to get our daughter on a consistent sleeping schedule as soon as possible. It turned out to be so much more than just sleeping and April was a big part of that! Our daughter was a terrible eater which was extremely stressful-not only did April have a number of very effective recommendations but I could tell she was sincerely committed to getting us on the right track.  She checked in periodically and proactively without me initiating and showed sincere compassion. As a new mom, I can not tell you how much it meant to have a supportive and knowledgeable ear. I was also very glad to have a sounding board in interpreting the Mom’s on Call book- I found that, although very well written, there were items that I needed further clarification on and/or interpretation for our personal circumstance. There was one suggestion in particular that April gave us around moving up our daughter’s bedtime a little earlier than the book suggested and it was a GAME CHANGER for her evening mood (and, as a result, ours…) I would highly recommend working with April!      Jenny, M.

“Working with April to implement the Moms on Call strategy changed parenthood for me and my husband. The first few weeks of the newborn phase were SO hard and unstructured, and we both felt like we were unable to enjoy the tiny baby phase. That is until we decided to work with April. Knowing April was a nurse and mom of four herself made us completely trusting of her advise and solutions. She helped get our son sleeping through the night by 12 weeks (7:30 – 7!) and has helped us navigate every change and development since. Since working with April Jack has not had less than 11 uninterrupted hours of sleep each night – which means he is developing and growing so well, and we are rested and able to LOVE every second we spend with him. Her reassurance and strategies are so useful, particularly as his schedule evolves as he grows. She also helped manage holiday travel and time zone changes which was awesome as we love to be on the go and were worried about how that would impact Jack’s great routine (thanks to April it did not!) On top of that, she is incredibly responsive and gets back to our many email questions promptly. Family and friends comment on what a happy, calm and ‘easy’ baby Jack is, and we credit much of that to his structured schedule and good sleep habits. I really feel like April is genuinely invested in Jack’s development and progress, as well as our well-being as parents. I will continue to work with April through the rest of Jack’s first year of life and hopefully into toddlerhood, and I plan to gift her services to my sister who is due this year!” Christine, M
