The whole MOC program has been the most valuable part of raising a child.
I've used the MOC program since my daughter was 1 week old. I followed it as closely as I could and rarely deviated from all the advice. They were spot on about how long it takes for transitions and what to expect in behavior. She gets high praises by any baby sitter (she's not in daycare) who keeps her for how well behaved she is and easy it is for naps and sleep at night. She's only 16 months old so some of the toddler communications aren't there yet, but I'll continue to follow their program and feel confident it will work with our son who is due in 4 months. And for those who complain about the "Christian" influence in the book, I really don't think the occasional bible verse and having a basis for their moral approach to child-rearing should take away from the value of following their program.
Skip it
I loved the first two books but this one is a waste of money in my opinion. The schedule doesn’t match up to the previous book, and the discipline techniques, including spanking, are rather absurd.
Some good tips, but not worth the price
I did get some good information from this book regarding toddlers, but what I was really after, and what I suspect most people are after (sleep tips), was so simple, it could be summarized in a 150 character tweet. I was disappointed that I spent the amount of money I did for a relatively small book with just a few straight-forward tips. There were also various typos throughout the book that kept dragging my attention away from the content, and occasional sentences that were written so poorly they didn’t actually say anything. Maybe if I hadn’t spent 26 or so dollars, I would be more satisfied with the one or two tips I walked away with.
I am so much more confident in myself because of this wonder book series.
I am a HUGE Moms on Call fan. This third book is making me so sad because I can’t believe my pumpkin has gotten so big that I’m buying this and I can’t believe this is their last book. I, like a lot of folks, didn’t have the greatest models for discipline from my parents and I wanted my own style, completely different from my parents but still affective. This Moms on Call book has such a realistic method that you can follow or modify to meet your style. Honestly this book has tons of great stuff. Without these ladies’ schedules I wouldn’t have the quality of life that I do today. I can take care of my son AND still have time to take care of me because of their help. I still thank my lucky stars searching the parenting and baby forums for hours at 3 AM and stumbling across a post for a mom going through whatever I was going through at the same time. Someone replied with a seemingly impossible description of their personal schedule based on some book called Moms on Call so I visited Amazon and the rest was history.
has saved my sanity
this is my third MOC book and it's been just as valuable as the newborn and infant books. i bought it when my child became mobile and i needed to know how to handle toddler discipline (not punishing him, but teaching him to listen especially in situations where his safety is in question). i can't recommend these books enough. you don't have to follow them to the letter to learn A LOT and improve your parenting techniques immensely.
A Must Have Book Series
Love love love these books. The entire series is amazing!!! From tips to daily schedules to illness care to milk amounts, etc. This book was a life safer. Tons of books out there are too lengthy or have very little substance. This entire series is just right and help to make me the amazing mommy that I am today! Thank you ladies for this amazing parenting took for the toolbox!!!
Marriage and sanity saver
My wife and I were struggling for the first three months our daughter was born. A colleague recommended this book. It has been a game changer. We went from getting up multiple times a night to be in able to sleep all night long with no interruption. Our daughter is now seven months old and she has been sleeping for four months straight from 7 PM to 7 AM. It outlines a solid schedule and as long as you can stick to it, you will succeed. We have now seen more than eight kids go through the same procedure that the book details and everybody has the same result. It takes discipline but if you follow this book you will have the best routine in family life. It saved our marriage!!!!
Life. Saver.
I basically live by these books. They are so useful, ESPECIALLY for sleep patterns. But just general knowledge from women who are not only mothers, but Nurses. When people ask how we managed to have a sleeping baby, I always just say "Mom's on call. Buy all of the books. Read them. Live them." When they say it's not working, I can almost always go to their house, look around, and fix it. You have to absorb the info!
How we survived and stayed an organized team
Helped us tremendously! Love this entire series from newborn on up! It helped keep my husband on same page which gave our child consistency; even when one of us wasn't around. Referring back to ibooks version for my second baby coming soon. Its my survival guide. We always read as a guide, and find a way to incorporate recommendations into our lifestyle and comfort level. But these ladies know what they are talking about. Take it from a fellow Pedi nurse... I had just never been a mom before and did not live by my mother.
Best book to read for this age group
This book is just as helpful as the first two installments. When I was pregnant with my first, my Pediatric Nurse friend recommended that I read these books. She said that she has read many others, and in her words, "the complete package." She was right. This book will serve me very well for months to come. Thank you Moms on Call, for helping us parents out!
