Hi there! Welcome to The Postpartum Party!
I’m so glad you’ve found your way here to my corner of the Internet. I’m Amy Motroni and I’ve been running The Postpartum Party full time for 5 years. I’m a publishing and marketing professional by trade, but teaching parents how to get their babies and toddlers to sleep is my real passion!
There’s nothing I love more than helping families get a good night’s rest. Understanding baby and toddler sleep can be overwhelming, and it’s my goal to break down processes into easy-to-follow steps so you can troubleshoot your child’s sleep and help restore peace to your home!
You’ll get step-by-step instructions from someone who has worked with families one-on-one and walked the sleep-deprived road herself. My posts are simple so you can walk away knowing exactly what to do to instill good sleep in your little one.
My Blog Story
I have always been in publishing—as a newspaper and magazine editor. When I had my daughter I realized how hard motherhood was and I really wanted to find a way to support other new parents.
As I searched the Internet for sleep help, I was frustrated by all the conflicting advice I found as a new mom. Things were laid out too black and white. I needed more help in the gray areas and I wanted to start an encouraging and supportive environment for new parents.
I started The Postpartum Party in 2019 as a way to help other parents wade through all the sleep advice out there that wasn’t nuanced enough.
My Philosophy
As a mom and a Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant, I believe:
- That parenting is so much more nuanced than the Internet makes us believe
- That parental intuition is strong and trustworthy
- That each parent is doing the best thing for their child…and that looks different for everyone
Education
