As first time parents, we were looking for research-based guidance for creating a healthy sleep foundation from newborn stage on. Batelle provides personalized care plus sequential asynchronous lessons that build on each other and make sense. They really listen and help you with your individual goals. The method is always respectful and responsive to baby’s expressed needs. Our 3 month old trusts his sleep space and routine. He goes to sleep peacefully, eats once during the night, and wakes up smiling each morning. We 100% recommend Batelle.

SO grateful to have had Batelle help us…
SO grateful to have had Batelle help us through sleepless nights, tantrums, and the bedtime battles. We had a wonderful experience with Batelle and highly recommend them to anyone struggling with their infant/toddler’s sleep. Our son is 2.5 and he was waking up multiple times at night and either ended up in our bed or us in his. We tried so many different approaches but none of them worked until we took a chance and invested in Batelle Sleep School. Now, our son’s bedtime routine is smooth, predictable, and he’s sleeping through the night! If you’re contemplating signing up, do it! It’s the best investment.

No sleeper turned into a sleeper!
Long story very short... We've had a horrible sleeper since day 1. Most recently dad was sleeping on the floor, multiple wake ups every night, struggled to go down & couldn't remember the last time little man slept through the night.
Enter, Batelle. Now he's down like clockwork with a full night sleep....see you in the morning. This program was worth the money & worth the sanity we gained.
Thanks so much.

Finally - a science and art approach - Cannot recommend Batelle more highly!
Cannot recommend Batelle more highly!! We had a TON of sleep issues with our second and tried so many things before she was finally sleeping through the night. Everything else out there is one extreme or the other - cry it out and sleep train/Ferber or attachment parenting. It was great to FINALLY have something rooted in science and data, but that also took into account the needs of my baby and the emotional safety/connection I so deeply cared about creating for my baby. It is a fantastic program and I’d recommend it to anyone. All of the content is great but the ability to have personalized advice in the moment or even send in my baby’s cries was a game changer.

We joined the sleep school when our…
We joined the sleep school when our daughter was hitting hard on the 8/9 months sleep regression. Waking every hour for a month, separation anxiety, needed to be held to sleep. It was painful and we didn’t want start co sleeping so it was nights after nights of sleeping on the nursing chair. We didn’t want to do cry it out and Batelle seems to be the solution. I’d have to say it was a great experience. The staff are all very experienced. There are a lot of support, chat groups, one on one zoom meetings, real time guidance. In just one week our girl learned to sleep herself and slept through the night. We never thought this could happen but it did. Crying is inevitable but we were there to support our daughter and respond to her every cry, soothe her, hug her, it makes the process a lot more bearable than the CIO. The instructions from Batelle are clear and precise. We know exactly what we are doing and if not the 24/7 live chat support is just amazing. That alone is worth every penny. I highly recommend it for struggling and sleep deprived parents. This really saved our sanity.

Batelle Sleep School: The 2 weeks is real!
Attention all exhausted Moms and Dads! If you're at all like we were last month, up at 3am at your wits end hoping that Dr. Google can solve your child's sleep issues, sign up for the Batelle free initial consult straight away. if you need to read further...I'm here to tell you the 2 weeks is real! I'm writing this with a glass of wine in hand at 8:30 watching my son settle himself to sleep on our baby monitor. I can't believe I'm writing one of these reviews.
We tried everything before finding Batelle, nothing worked, and honestly things just got worse the more we tried. Our 2 year old son was a sleeping angel since birth, but then his sleep schedule suddenly just went completely bezerk during the last 4 months! He would wake up multiple times crying, needing milk, randomly demanding food, demanding that we go for a drive or a stroll outside in his stroller, or just wanting to play with his trains. He fully owned us! When he did finally fall asleep, he had to be touching one of us in order to fall asleep..of course in the most uncomfortable places like the cold living room carpet, on the couch or on top of one us, leading to a full on WWF beat down for the rest of the night.
We were skeptical when we read about Batelle but even more desperate, and just like you may be doing now, we went down a trustpilot, reddit review rabbit hole to see if this 2 week guarantee was legit! We figured we had nothing to lose so we signed up for Batelle's initial free consultation. Turns out, one of the main reasons our son was resisting sleep was because he didn't "feel safe" going to bed. It kind of made sense but I think the idea of another night of dread, pain and suffering without a solution moving forward was more a of a catalyst. To be honest, I was taking copious notes at the beginning of the program in case I needed to ask for a refund but it turns out they know their stuff!! Thanks to Batelle's straightforward methodology we finally got the good night's sleep we all needed.
Their approach combines attachment theory and modern baby technology like baby monitors, cameras, and sleep sound devices, and incorporates different coping strategies to address push-back and tantrums. But best of all, it's NOT a cry-it-out method and shows empathy towards your child's individual needs. I know it sounds easy but you won't get to sleep nirvana without doing some work. Days 5-8 requires a lot of discipline and work. You will need to study the material (no more than an hour a day, usually less) but nothing ridiculous and now looking back SOOOOO worth it. It's much less work then trying to lose 5 lbs or getting to the gym 5x’s a week! Literally by Day 13 our son knew when bed time was happening, jumps in to bed and takes our cues. He sleeps 11-12 hours and wakes up happy and well rested. There is a maintenance phase where you may have to go back a few steps but once your child realizes that you're not going back to his old ways...it sticks. It's not a militant process so you can customize some of the concepts to your child which we really thought was instrumental in creating smooth transitions for our son.
We really liked that it is a remote program. We weren't keen on hiring someone to come in to our home at night. With Batelle you have the option to allow the 24/7 sleep specialist to log into the ring camera they provide, but we never needed it, but I do know that some families really benefited on difficult night. Our son adapted quickly to the "Hatch-like" light and the special hug blanket (since he was out of the crib)they send, and now he gets right into bed without a fuss. Another great thing is that they have ongoing support (not 24-7) for an additional 5 years which is amazing if you are going through another sleep regression, or need help planning for a long trip across time zones, etc.
We highly highly recommend Batelle Sleep School if you want your sleep back! We still can't believe we are sleeping again!
PS: The mobile app is very user-friendly mobile app and their customer onboarding was incredibly smooth. Whoever is running ops there did a great job!

Sleep Success!
For the past 2 years our son has been waking up 5-7 times a night and needing someone to sleep with him in order to get back to sleep. I can honestly say after 3 weeks using this strategy, our whole sleep dynamic has changed. He is able to put himself back to sleep if he wakes up, does not need anyone in his bed and no longer uses milk at night as a soothing method. This has been worth EVERY penny!

Batelle saved my sanity…
I want to start out by saying that Batelle as actually helped me in a tremendous way. From the moment we contacted them, they have been assisting us in our goal of having my son sleep on his own through the night. The program they have in place is genius, and it’s certainly worth the money we spent on getting my son greysen to sleep on time and with a schedule on his own. The company honors its commitment, and treats its “ alumni” with respect and helpful tips all the way up until my son reaches six years old. I just recently chatted with them about replacing a sleep sack which has since started to tear slightly and they have been so helpful and always ask if things are going well. This company Batelle and it’s staff go above and beyond to assist their clientele.
My son is now 29 months old and was sleeping on his own for a year now and is getting anywhere near 11-12 hours per night straight through and 1.5 to 2 hours during the day for a nap. This experience with Batelle has been wonderful and if I can give them more stars I would.
