Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

Our 12m old went through a rough sleep regression after moving across the country a few months prior, and while she never was a “great” sleeper, she continually got worse and our parent sleep associations just kept getting worse and worse and it became a huge cycle we couldn’t get out of (naps became a struggle, bedtime took over an hour most nights, with multiple wake ups to nurse or just rock/be held back to sleep by either parent, would wake up as we transferred her down into crib and need to be fully asleep before any transfer worked). In came Batelle— we were 100% skeptical at first, but as previous reviewers stated, the money-back guarantee was enticing to just give it a try. There are other “sleep consultants” out there, but I really liked the 24/7 support and actually being able to communicate with them whenever needed to ask questions and in the middle of the night, if needed. It was definitely tough at first, we wanted to give up. I will say a few little things they had us do, we tweaked to make work with our family and our routines, but overall the main steps really do work after you get through the initial days of struggle. It is amazing how building the trust for the to sleep on their own and not needing you for any of it is truly worth the time and money. For us, it took longer the 14 days, but only because the beginning was a rough start. Once we were in middle steps, it truly was magical seeing her sleep on her own each night without our help. She now falls asleep on her own after we say goodnight to her and has no wake ups. We are finally well-rested parents and happier in the day to day, all because of Batelle.

We started Batelle feeling like zombies and ended feeling like humans again. We brought a good deal of challenge into the program - we had just moved half way across the country and were very much in transition and so desperate for sleep. Our son was waking often and screaming for long periods. Everyone was exhausted. While our 7 Mo old still has some wake ups and we are fine tuning his schedule, he now self soothes and responds to our comfort through the monitor and is generally just sleeping more soundly and falling asleep more quickly. The approach was in line with my desires as a parent and I felt super supported every step of the way. First few days can be hard but it is 100% worth it. Thank you Batelle!

It seemed impossible. Our 20 month old had been rocked/fed to sleep every nap and bedtime if his life. He was waking up multiple times a night to breastfeed and put himself back to sleep. He was only getting harder and harder to put to sleep, sometimes taking well over an hour to get to settle down. We were literally hitting a wall. We were looking into sleep training but we’ve never been on board with “cry it out.” Then I saw an ad for Batelle. Breastfeeding and room-sharing friendly with a money back guarantee that he would be sleeping better within 2 weeks? Impossible. No way in hell. But we had nothing to lose because if he failed we figured we could at least get our money back. So we signed up. We read the materials and got to work. And to our shock and awe after following the program he was starting to fall asleep in his crib on his own after just a few nights into the program.. then a few days later he was putting himself to sleep AND sleeping through the whole night. Wow. Cue our surprise. We were literally mind blow at the quick changes we saw in his abilities. We started as major skeptics, but now we’re such huge fans and highly recommend to any friends who have babies/toddlers with sleep troubles. Thank you Batelle!

The 24 hour support and guided path helped our daughter move from our bed into her crib in 2 weeks. The change was incremental and I think made everything less painful for us. If you can afford it, it's definitely an option to consider. Look forward to applying this approach to our new born when the time comes.

Wow! Batelle Babies is incredible and a life-saver! In all truthfulness, I was a little skeptical when I first looked into the program, as it seemed too good to be true. I was at my wits end as far as anything sleep related went. I was feeling frustrated and helpless. It was taking sometimes 2 hours to get our baby to sleep at night and it felt as though I was spending half my day trying to get her to take naps! She would not go to sleep without being bounced or held. At the time, I was just looking up different things about sleep when Batelle popped up. The Batelle Babies program changed everything: we saw LEAPS AND BOUNDS with Batelle Babies Sleep School. Our daughter was 9 weeks old when we enrolled her and now she is choosing sleep at bedtime AND naps within just a few weeks! No “cry it out”, no bouncing, no rocking, no holding: just a confident baby choosing sleep with our co-regulation to help her along the way. It’s amazing. She is more confident in her sleep space (not to mention happier all around!) and we feel more bonded as parents with our baby! This sleep school is not only setting the foundations for sleep but for life! Our daughter is learning to self-regulate with our co-regulation and it’s been a beautiful process with all the help of Batelle! I also want to mention that the ladies who run Batelle Babies are incredibly helpful, kind, and encouraging! We are so grateful. We talk with them multiple times a week with questions and updates, and seeking advice. There’s never a dumb question with this team. I also love that they worked with us at our own pace. We chose to take sleep school a little slower as our daughter had begun a sleep regression from the start and we had some things come up during the process where we chose to take our time through. It all worked out perfectly. This program is 100% worth it. The only thing I regret is not having found it sooner! They give you all of the tools to set even your newborn up for sleep success in a gentle and structured way that is tailored to your household. This program has brought so much comfort to us knowing that we have a reliable resource that WORKS to help us work with our baby. What a blessing this program has been, coming from happy and rested parents!

This program is absolutely life changing!!! Truly. There aren’t words to adequately describe my deep gratitude and appreciation for Batelle. My daughter had been sleeping on top of my body or in my arm pit every single night since the day she was born for almost 3 years… and I was starting to lose my mind. I thought I only had two options: cry it out or cosleep. Not the case! Yes, there were tears through this process and some serious protest, but I never once left her alone to cry it out. I always responded to her and learned how to lovingly hold boundaries. This program made me a better parent. And the team was always right there, just a text message or call away, whenever I needed support. Within 2-3 weeks, my kid was sleeping by herself in her own bed in her own room! I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t. It’s been over a month since we graduated from the Batelle program and my child has slept soundly in her own room every single night. Sure, she’s had some wake ups, and we’ve encountered some bumps along the road, but I now know how to respond and she puts herself right back to sleep. It’s absolutely amazing!! Cannot recommend this program enough. I wish I’d found them sooner. Special shout out to Elizabeth and Matt, who both helped me so much in the beginning and gave me the confidence to work through this process, forever grateful!!! Love you, Batelle!

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.
