Emily Blewett, RN, BSN, CLC
During nursing school, I fell in love with the NICU! It is a place filled with the tiniest footprints, love, tears, hope, hugs, and gratitude. One of my favorite parts of working in the NICU is supporting, encouraging, and empowering families throughout their NICU journey. It is such a rewarding job to see families adapting to meet the needs of their babies, and see them gain confidence as they learn and grow. I love that I get to continue to support and encourage families outside of the NICU now as a consultant.
When I became a mother, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed and exhausted. They send you home from the hospital with this new baby that you just gave birth to; and you have to care for that precious little one 24/7. Every mother can relate to that feeling of being in over your head (I sure can). When our first daughter was 6 weeks old, I found Moms on Call. It has been a huge blessing to our family! It empowered us as new parents and gave our family (and marriage), the best gift ever…sleep. Harper has been sleeping through the night since she was 12 weeks old (and still is a great sleeper). Our second daughter, Olivia, started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old. As a result of Moms on Call positive impact on my journey through motherhood, I became a baby + toddler consultant to empower other mothers alike.
