Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

Our baby slept well until 4 months and then things slowly went downhill from there. I went back to work when she was 6 months so our habits to get more sleep + regressions = not quality sleep. Our daughter was waking up 2-3 times a night on a good night and was eating 8-12 ounces through the night. My husband & I had to switch off putting her to bed (and still do now). We needed a program where we could still respond to our daughter but wean her off and do it in baby steps. Batelle was the perfect program for us and are very thankful for these steps! Our daughter is actually sick(double ear infection + eye infection) but still did wonderful - which is an immense difference than before. My husband & I are very thankful for Batelle and feel supported to continue on until our daughter is 6. Thank you to everyone who was a part of our journey - we appreciate you!

My wife and I were struggling to get our little one to independently fall and stay asleep throughout the night. After months of poor sleep quality, we did some research and came across the Batelle Sleep School. Everyone whom we engaged with was extremely friendly. The mobile app and materials enabled us to quickly work through the training at our own pace. Within 2-3 weeks we had our daughter sleeping through the night, no longer in need of our touch or presence to fall asleep. We did hit a couple of regressions at developmental milestones and after travel/jetlag, but we were able to apply our Batelle learnings to get our little one back on track relatively quickly. Overall, I highly recommend this sleep training! (As an additional data point, I referred my sister who had a similarly positive experience with her little one.)

I had tried the CIO and modified Ferber with my 4mo and it was NOT working. We got into the bad habit of rocking him all the way to sleep, but then ended up doing some ninja maneuvers in an attempt to place him in his crib without him waking up. It was definitely not sustainable. During one of the early morning wakes at around 5 months old, I was helplessly googling and came across Batelle. I HATE spending money, and this seemed too good to be true (help until 6 YEARS old?!), but I decided to make the plunge. It wasn't magic, and he wasn't magically sleeping all night after 2 weeks, but things were MUCH improved, he was only waking 1-2 times for a quick feed, AND he would go back to sleep much faster than previously. I called that a win! The Ring camera that they included was super helpful, and I LOVED the 24/7 support. Sometimes, while I would be there working through a long wake period at night, I would just message the support team to keep me sane & busy so I wouldn't be counting the minutes--it helped time go by more quickly and with less anxiety. By 10 months old, baby boy had started sleeping on his stomach, and THIS was the magical key. He started sleeping 10-11 hours throughout the night, but I am convinced that if we hadn't done all of the hard work with the Batelle method prior to this, he wouldn't have been able to soothe himself back to sleep so easily. He is now 13 months old, and I have been able to use their maintenance support team to work through some sleep regression stages, travel, sickness, and most recently trying to switch from 2 naps to 1 (and they helped me do some trial & error to where I realized he wasn't quite ready to drop a nap yet). I am SUPER thankful for this program. Getting a full night's sleep is crucial for both us and baby boy. I am comforted to know that I can reach out when he gets a bit older and we need to work on transitioning him from crib to toddler bed, if/when he tries to come out of his room into our room, if/when we have another child which will alter his sleep schedule, etc etc until he is 6 years old. I encourage you to look at Batelle not as an expense, but as an INVESTMENT. It's been worth every penny!

I write this review while taking a break from weeding in my front yard. Our yard has looked like the Amazon for quite some time. I’m surprised the HOA has not yet fined us for its lack of upkeep. Now that I’m getting sleep, consistently, every night, I have the energy to maintain it. I also have energy to clean my house and cook food. Thank you Batelle! My quality of life has drastically improved since you taught me how to teach my daughter to feel SAFE as she sleeps. She sleeps from 7pm to 6am CONSISTENTLY. And I didn’t lay in bed crying, wishing I could go to comfort her as we have experienced with the numerous “cry it out” methods out there. To the parent or caregiver who refuses to let their child cry it out but still is in dire need of rest, Batelle is for you.

We started in Batelle babies and had an amazing experience with Kim. She really was so understanding and non judgmental of where our sleep journey was when we started and she gave such sound advice. Going through the Batelle program brought a lot of knowledge and insight and now our family approach’s sleep with a whole new perspective. Thank you Batelle.

Updated review: batelle made it right very impressed how one person in particular, Gigi helped to get things resolved and made right.

Batelle’s program content and support from their team is what makes this different. After trying another method, I was skeptical this would work. But the focus on creating security and strengthening that for our son really worked amazingly! After 9 months of brutal sleep and bedtime routines, we are finally sleeping again!

Short answer: yes it works, my child is sleeping through the night. Long answer: our baby was never a great sleeper, my husband and I were surviving off of 4,5 of sleep per night every night. She was always waking up, I would have to nurse back to sleep etc; but we were getting by. Then 11 months hit, and the nightmare was on. She was waking up Every. Two. Hours. …screaming bloody murder. We tried CIO, rocking her, singing to her, the Ferber method, sometimes these things would work sometimes they wouldn’t. Often we would resort to car rides in the middle of the night just to get her to fall back asleep. I was pretty skeptical of Batelle when first looking into it, thinking it was just a bunch of weird….nonsense….like their just gonna “take my money and run” kinda thing. But that is not the case, you really do get what you pay for, especially with the 24/7 support for the 2 weeks (and they are FAST at responding) They also teach a gentle method, which means bedtime is SO MUCH more enjoyable now than just letting my baby scream her head off till she falls asleep….and then waking up 45 minutes later. She is now sleeping 9,10 hours straight! It is a dream come true! She is also a happier baby because she is well rested. I also waited a few nights to write this review to make sure my baby really was sleeping through the night and it wasn’t just a one time thing. It is work what they teach you, and it does require patience (which is hard when you’re already sleep deprived) but if you can hang in there for the 2-3 weeks, It’s worth it.
