Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

As all parents who come here, we were desperate. Our two and a half year old got to the point where he was waking every 2 hours, from the point of falling asleep. I am pregnant and we were all slowly loosing our minds. Out of desperation we signed up for this, only because of their guarantee. I (the Mom) started sleep school and did the first half with him then my husband took over because bedtime was taking so long and it was uncomfortable for me to sit in the “sleep spot” for an hour to wait for my kiddo to fall asleep. After that, the transitions went so much quicker. It did pay off to have me to pay the ground work at the beginning (husband didn’t have daytime with the kiddo). All in all… it worked. He goes to sleep on his own and wakes up maybe once, but not every night and usually we are able to talk him through and get him to put himself back to bed. Yes, it’s expensive as crap but when you haven’t had a nights sleep in 9 months you get desperate and thank the heavens it worked! Team was great, flexible, and understanding for our situations and very supportive. Glad we have their support and access till he is 6, it does make it seem way more worth the money. Now if we can duplicate this for our new baby in the way… 😅

We were at our wit's end with our headstrong baby waking up multiple times a night for milk. However, we were pleasantly surprised when the Batelle method helped our little one sleep through the night by the third night of using it. The method is gentle yet highly effective, and the team is top-notch. They were always there for us, even during the middle of the night, and were very responsive, patient, and empathetic. One of the tools we used was a nightlight that we turned red when it was time for sleep. It worked like a charm! My husband and I jokingly remarked that when our baby is older, he may fall asleep at traffic lights when they turn red due to the association with the red nightlight.

The support that Batelle offered was well worth the investment. Our family was able to transition our toddler from cosleeping and nursing on demand at night, to sleeping in his own room and fully night weaned within 2 weeks. We still get pushback sometimes, but now have the confidence to handle it in a supportive way that we feel matches our parenting values. The professional and peer support from Batelle for the parents was as valuable as the sleep instruction.

If you can afford this program- do it. I genuinely didn’t think that my child would transition from using me as a human pacifier and restlessly sleeping in our bed to first night sleeping in her crib for practically the entire night. This program is thoughtful, efficient, compassionate, and effective. It has revolutionized how I plan to support my child through the other skills she will eventually learn. The philosophy and support with Batelle is remarkable. My husband was firmly against attempting any sort of program believing that they were all glorified cry-it-out methods. He now claims this is the best investment we have ever made. I look forward to utilizing their continued support as we transition time zones, homes, beds, etc. Very grateful to Batelle.

The team at Batelle has been an absolute delight to work with. Our 20 month old had been waking every night for about 5 months straight demanding a bottle and cosleeping, but within literal days, the wonderful team at Batelle coached us into some very solid practices and we got our little one sleeping through the night. She’s now a very consistent sleeper - naps and overnight - and we even dropped the bottle from our routine entirely (much needed but put off for fear of regression). Every interaction we’ve had has been loving, compassionate, insightful, educational, and above all and most appreciated, reassuring. This team has perfected parent coaching which is so hard to come by in a world just inundated with opinions. We cannot thank this team enough. Anyone who has interacted with us, you have our deepest gratitude. Thank you, thank you!

Batelle has given our family so much! Apart from the obvious of a great outcome - better sleep and so much more rest - we have gained peace in the mornings and evenings, better moods all around, and the confidence to handle all things sleep related. Our daughter is older than the average, just over 3 years old, but not only did Batelle provide support and appropriate techniques for her age, I felt confidence choosing them because of the continued support for several more years. Our daughter went from taking nearly an hour to go to sleep (and only with someone lying next to her until she was asleep), waking and coming down to our room several times a night, only going back to sleep in our bed or with me in her bed, and getting up at 5am….. to going to sleep in just a couple minutes each night, completely on her own, and sleeping through the night until her light goes off at 6am! It felt like a too good to be true miracle at first, but has consisted. And whenever we have had questions, the Batelle team has been right there all along the way! The chat support is great, and the calls were amazing. They answered all our questions patiently, and actually gave answers, not just “well it could go either way” vague responses. They were positive and proactive and worked with us through an illness and company visiting to allow us to stay on a timeline that worked for us throughout the “school” portion of the course. Truly amazing. Thank you Batelle!

I am very happy with my sleep school experience. I honestly would recommend this program to anyone. I had doubts but my son literally went from an hour bed time needing to be patted to sleep to falling asleep 100% independently in one month. I’m still so amazed that it’s even possible I wish I did it sooner. The only negative I would say is I feel like some of the sleep experts aren’t as knowledgeable as others so sometimes you ask a question and it’s like a generic answer but I understand it can be hard from them to know the answer to every single sleep situation.

We LOVE Batelle Babies! Within the first three weeks of sleep school we were putting our 4 month old down awake and getting excellent results. They helped us transfer him out of his snoo into his crib in his own room into a sleep sack and no more snoo swaddle! And today he just went down for his first nap awake and slept one hour! Kim and Lucie are experts and the best cheerleaders a new mom or dad could have! I think everyone should put Batelle Babies sleep school on their registries. Thank god we found them and we found them early. Life hasn’t gotten so much better since our very first conversation with Batelle team. Thank you so so much!!!!! Can’t wait to keep seeing results because of our sons new found skill!
