We heard it too many times: “Babies don’t come with an instruction manual.” Instead of taking the old cliché at its word, we asked “why not?”.
Every day as pediatric nurses, we used to take after-hours patient calls for a busy pediatric practice in Atlanta, meaning if any of the 9,000 patients had a question at night or on weekends, we got paged. For years, we answered questions from concerned parents who, interestingly, all had the same questions! We decided it was time to give parents a simple and easy-to-follow guide addressing their most common curiosities and concerns.
This was so well received, our print-outs quickly grew into a library of resources including 3 books, 3 video courses, 2 apps and a flourishing network of consultants. Moms on Call is amazed to say our that resources have helped over 750,000 moms and dads across the world parent with confidence as they discover the joys of the first four years. And we are thrilled to introduce you to the team that makes this magic happen!”

Six years ago, local Sunshine Coast mum-of-three Kelly Lavery was searching far and wide for an easier way to soak and drain stained baby clothes. Recognizing the problem, Kelly went looking for a product that would allow no-touch soaking of laundry items – but couldn’t find anything like it. And so, she created one. Her design, the Strucket 19L, a patented Strainer Bucket which includes an interlocking connection, was soon picked up by Aldi and Bunnings and is now sold in the US, Canada and the UK, and most importantly its manufactured in Australia, keeping all the profits on Aussie shores.
