When we started Batelle, our daughter was 8 months and had never fallen asleep independently in her crib. She relied on us rocking her to sleep and then transferring her to the crib and praying she stayed asleep. Through the program we helped her learn how o fall asleep independently and it has been a lifesaver. Unfortunately after about a month she began to regress on her sleep school skills due to teething and illnesses. This is where the value of Batelle really comes in. We were able to work closely with the team to navigate getting back on track and to really reinforce the program for us as parents to understand how to ensure we can get back to easy bedtimes whenever we experience another bump in the road, because there will be many as she grows! Through Batelle we feel that our relationship with our daughter has strengthened as she has learned to trust us, trust herself and trust her sleep space. This process takes commitment but it is so worth it and the team is with you every step of the way - during school and beyond!

Batelle was a life saver for our family!
Batelle was great for our family of 3! From our introductory call all the way to reaching our sleep goal the team was great. Battellle's coaching and their approach to sleep really works. Like most people, I was skeptical at first. After just a few days of closely following instructions and making an effort to stick to the program, we saw results every day. The staff was incredibly helpful and always attentive to our needs. They were eager for us to stay on schedule and keep our "positive" momentum going but we had some lifestyle changes and struggled a bit in our journey. The staff was very understanding about this and was happy to help us "pause" at any step in our journey until our daughter begun to show progress again and was ready to move on to the next step in the program. I've recommended Batelle to any parents who are struggling with their child's sleep habits.

Everyone is Sleeping!
Our 2YO has never slept well; unable to fall asleep without rocking/laying next to him, bedtime routine was getting to be 1-2 hours AND he was waking up multiple times in the night to come to our bedroom. We also have an infant, so we were desperate for a solution to get our son to sleep. I was super skeptical that anyone would be able to help us, but I am so happy we gave Batelle a try. In just 2 weeks, our son was going to sleep on his own without anyone in his room and is sleeping through the nights without any wake-ups. The best part of this method is that it does not require your baby to “cry it out,” which my husband and I have agreed doesn’t align with our parenting model. I’d recommend this to all parents having sleep troubles with their little ones -Proud Mommy

We tried EVERYTHING
We tried everything to get our toddler (2.5 years old) to sleep. Seriously - you name it, we tried it. He was a decent sleeper until he climbed out of his crib at 18 months, then it was game over. We couldn’t get him to sleep in a bed. Any bed. Ferber worked for us when he was little so we started with that (he out-willed it). We tried move-the-chair method, incremental decreases in the amount of his nighttime milk and then watering down his milk (to try to get rid of the nighttime milk). Co-sleeping was not in our plan but we tried it (he would jump on the bed, run around our room, pull us out of bed by the arms). We tried white noise, fans, red-light-green-light, comfy bedding, bribing, new weighted stuffy, soothing bedtime baths. We were getting TWO hours of sleep per night. It was worse than having a newborn. As a last ditch effort, we tried full-on cry-it-out method. We figured he would tire himself out. He had to! ….he stood at the door to his (locked) room and cried from midnight to 5am. That was the last straw. We needed professional help. We came across Batelle in our search and gave it a shot. OH. MY. GOSH. LIFE CHANGING. Trust me. If they can help us, they can help anybody. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical because nothing had worked, so I decided that I was going to do everything they said to do and follow the plan perfectly….to get my money back guarantee when it failed lol. Well, they proved me wrong. Even though my motivation to stay on track was mis-guided (monetary) and not sleep motivated (I was so exhausted and discouraged)…I followed the plan exactly. I recorded the mantra (this feels weird), played the games, went to the support group calls, I reached out for real-time middle of the night support….and amazingly, it worked. IT. WORKED. It took us a couple of months (stubborn toddler, vacations, interruptions, etc.), but we continued to make progress and it worked. Now we have two kids sleeping in the same room….all night long. We walk into the bedroom, give hugs and kisses and walk out…and sleep for 10 hours! We are actually DREAMING because we are sleeping so much. I can’t recommend this program highly enough.

Very happy with our progress
You would think that on baby #4 we'd have sleep figured out by now but this one threw us through a loop. At 10 months old baby was up 4+ times per night and napping 30 minutes at a time. Needless to say he was miserable and so was I. We were both tired and crabby all the time. I tried everything. My husband found Batelle in a middle of the night search looking for help. At this point we were willing to try anything. One month later, baby is sleeping through the night and napping much better. I will say, he doesn't sleep through the night every night and every nap is isn't as long as I'd like it. This is a process. The 10 step process with Batelle was gentle and easy to implement. Their availability with the chat feature to answer questions and be there when you are freaking out is so nice. Just someone to lean on when you're working through things. Both baby and I are like new people. I highly recommend.

17 month old sleep success!!!
I have a 17 month old who was waking once in the night and having a hard time going to bed (long bedtime). I would not do cry it out. My friend recommended the program and I thought I would try it since it had a money back guarantee. She slept all night the very first night with just a couple little tweaks to her bedtime routine. We are on 3 weeks now and she 1) goes to bed without a fuss, 2) doesn’t wake in the night (or if she does will settle with just talking through monitor) 3) wakes up happy (the best part)!!! It’s funny cuz the system is nothing ground breaking but it really works. I’m so thankful I found it and think it will make the eventual transition to toddler bed much easier. It is absolutely worth the money

THESE PEOPLE ARE SAINTS AND IT’S WORTH IT!
Before we did Batelle our 10 month old slept in the bed with us, woke up every hour, and could only contact nap. Now she falls asleep in her crib in 5 minutes and sleeps through the night more often than not. She can even nap in her crib, and her dad, grandparents, and nanny can all put her down. Not gonna lie, it was HARD getting here, but the amazing support from the Batelle team got us through. They were so kind, responsive, and endlessly patient, even when my kiddo and I were both completely losing it at 2am. We are all so much happier and well rested now thanks to these folks. If you can swing the program, it’s 100% worth it!

Wish we would’ve done this sooner!!
Our 2yo daughter was taking 1-3 hours to fall asleep each night. She spent these hours screaming, crying, and running down the hall to our bedroom. One night out of pure desperation, I searched online for sleep programs. I came across Batelle and read the excellent reviews. I also really liked how the program wasn’t unnecessarily strict in that it was ok to occasionally co-sleep or have later bedtimes for family movie nights, etc. The Batelle program seemed realistic and doable.
So I sent a message to the Batelle team around 1am. By the time I woke up that morning, I had received a response to my message and an invitation to join a virtual video call the next day to learn more. I received a confirmation text prior to the call and the call went really well.
Lilli-May answered all of my questions about the program and she seemed genuinely interested in helping my daughter (and her parents!) cultivate a more healthy bedtime/sleep routine. We were sold.
The program was a little overwhelming at first, but my husband and I knew it was going to be worth it. And it has been worth it!!
We were nervous about the Ring camera and live guiding, so we didn’t use it until the last few nights of the program and I regret not taking advantage of that resource sooner! Jade and Molly are passionate, kind, and loving ANGELS. And they got me through some really tough nights through their live guiding using the Ring camera.
I can’t say enough great things about Batelle. The investment was worth every penny. My husband and I now have more than 15 hours of our lives back each week!! If you’re on the fence about Batelle, just do it. Your only regret will be not having done it sooner.
