The first time I’ve heard about Batelle, when my son was 6 months. Back then, I decided to figure out sleep on my own. Three sleep books later, multiple consultations with sleep trainers, failed Farber method, lots of tears, we were not getting better. At 21 months, I thought my son will never be able to fall asleep without rocking or get more than 2-3h stretches of sleep.
I wish I started sleep school the first time, when my boy was 6 months. We would have been so much happier and rested as a family.
To join Batelle family, is to have a village of sleep magicians to lean on to. You are never alone, they will hold your hand through every step and support and encourage. The Batelle method really works. You don’t leave your baby to cry. You are there, supporting them.
I’m so thankful to Ayla, Krista, Polly, Matt and so many others for helping us.
Happy mama here ❤️

Highly recommended!
We were having some major challenges with our 16 month old going to sleep and dealing with multiple long wake ups a night. Initially we were skeptical about an online program, but Batelle offered a thoughtful and measured approach to developing a sleep routine that works. While the program is a commitment for the parents, it is well worth the time invested. The Batelle team was responsive and there every step of the way with daily support calls and real 24 hour help. Now our son can choose sleep on his own and sleep through the night which seemed impossible just weeks ago. This program is well worth it and we cannot recommend it enough.

Don’t sleep on the Batelle magic!
Long & sappy post coming:
I truly cannot speak highly enough of the Batelle Sleep School. I had tried other popular approaches that just did not sit right with me and never stuck through regressions and illnesses. When I found Batelle and read about their non cry it out method, I was hesitant- but willing to try due to the money-back guarantee. Y’ALL. Every single person at Batelle is simply amazing and made our sleep school experience seamless and doable. The course that they use and the information provided leaves you fully confident in your strategy for the coming night. The way they ease both you and your child into the process through games and fun activities is child-centered and so clever. Not to mention the virtual classes and one on one sessions. The fact that I could literally get on the app Any. Time. Of. Night. to ask them for help throughout the two weeks was an offering I’ve not seen anywhere else. My daughter started sleeping through the night by CHOICE at 17 months old. She had previously been nursing to sleep every single night. Help is out there with Batelle, and their method made my gentle parenting heart feel fulfilled. Ugh I cannot sing their praises enough!!!!!
The last thing I want to mention is that sleep training had been very hard me mentally due to my post-partum anxiety. Batelle’s employees and consultants were so so so kind, gentle and reassuring. The best part is that a couple months after sleeping through the night, allll of my postpartum mental health issues resolved. You can’t put a price on that and I’m forever grateful for this program.
If you do nothing else today, just do a free consult with them. It might just change your world and give you your sanity, mental health, and sleep quality back like it did mine!

45 minute increments to sleeping through the night
Any sleep training is tough. Our daughter had some complications at birth which made me even more skeptical that this would work. But we followed the steps, had a couple tough nights, then things progressively got smoother and smoother as we went through the program. Now we’ve almost hit the maintenance stage. Our daughter, who was sleeping in 45 minute increments before sleep school, is sleeping through the night. If she ever stirs or tries to wake up during the night, we just sing a couple of the mantras to her and she puts herself right back to sleep. I’m shocked honestly at how well this has worked.

My daughter and I have just graduated…
My daughter and I have just graduated sleep school and I cannot recommend these guys more! We were having such an incredibly difficult time with broken sleep and were desperate to learn how to help and support our little one, The Batelle method was the answer! My little Roo is now sleeping 11-12 hours at night now! And is thriving more than ever. I have gone from 2-3 hours of broken sleep to full nights and and don’t know myself anymore! 😂 Although we have graduated, we will still receive help and support to maintain the method 🤗.
The team are so supportive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Ayla, Dani, Elizabeth and Janelle to name but a few of this super bunch! Thank you ⭐️

Wonderful program with the nicest sleep guides
I love this program because it has flexibility to adapt to what our baby needs each night, which is key for us because of his eczema. I don’t think I could have done it without the sleep guides!

Batelle for the WIN!
Batelle helped in giving us a piece of our life back! Our family co-slept for the first 4 months of our son's life which worked very well. As he got older he was more restless and had access to me, a nursing mother, as much as he wanted which resulted in him stirring a lot and waking me up a lot. Around 5 months we tried to put him in his crib which worked... 30 minutes at a time...being held/rocked to sleep...and attending to any noise that came out of his mouth! Not ideal. He could never link a sleep cycle and often one of us would give up and sleep in the rocking chair with him so that he could get at least get some sleep for his little growing body and mind.
Teeth came, crawling came, growing spurts physically, developmentally, and cognitively came and we were making little to no progress on independent sleep. At month 8 we were starting to wonder if we would ever make progress without the 'cry it out method,' which as someone who practices child psychology is STRONGLY against!
We stumbled across Batelle, did some research, scheduled a couple of consult calls, and were ready to dive in head first. We were unsure how it would shake out with our now 10 month old but he caught on so fast! We were able to go from one step to the next each day and within 9 days he was sleeping 12 hours through the night and two 1-hour naps INDEPENDENTLY!
As much as I miss holding him and getting those snuggles, our free time has exponentially increased as well as our sleep. I was adamant about not dropping night feeds so they helped me implement two dream feeds which allow me my extra snuggles at night and ensure he is getting what he needs during his sleep as well.
Our son has flourished, my husband and I are astonished, and we are so grateful for Batelle and the staff that helped us get to where we are now. Yes, your child will cry, and yes your child may resist a few of the steps...and...again, as someone who practices child psychology, the intentions and lessons taught and implemented are so positive!
The steps helped to scaffold emotional intelligence, awareness, and independence. In addition, continuing to build a healthy attachment, trust, and safety within the child/parent relationship as it relates to sleep. The method is sound and reliable.
I am not naive to think we won't hit a few more roadblocks in our son's sleep journey - be it teeth, travel, illness, or a new sibling - but knowing we have Batelle for the next 5 years to help navigate those steps is comforting. Not only do my husband and I have the confidence to instill healthy sleep patterns but we are now armored with a plethora of skills to continue to foster our son's sleep and set our future kids up for success. Win, win, win!

SLEEP SCHOOL- a year later
I gave a 5 star review last year when we completed sleep school and here I am giving it another 5 star review a year later. I echo every positive comment that was posted on here. In addition to the fact that THIS WORKS, the people who work at Batelle, the consultants, CEO etc are genuinely some of the nicest people I have ever spoken to. I recently set up a follow up call to re-order a hug and the lady was so
Helpful and willing to answer all my questions.
As for my son, everything seems to be going wrong for us, from speech therapy to regression to teething etc but ONE thing that’s gone/going right for us is sleep and that’s thanks to Batelle.
