Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

Batelle has been amazing for us. Our 20 month old went from needing to nurse to sleep, co-sleep, and waking up as often as every 45 minutes to sleeping in his crib and actually getting a full nights rest. We did not want to let him cry it out, and it has been so nice to not only always be there for him when he’s upset but also see him really learn how to sleep and become comfortable instead of simply exhausting himself. Definitely recommend!

This is going to be a long review but it’s written for the people like me who, after hearing about Batelle, wanted to REALLY know if they were the real deal before signing up. I can assure you, they are. If you wanted to play the “but my kid was worse” competition for sleeping, I think we would have won first place. A difficult sleeper from the very beginning, our son would only sleep 20mins in the crib before waking up and impossible to get back down. We tried every sleep method we could find, spoke to multiple consultants and after no change, I was eventually forced into a bed-share situation for survival. We turned to Batelle as soon as he turned 6 months and here we are, 2 months later, with a sleeping-through-the-night AND-in-the-crib child. It's been 8 months since he was born and I'm only now experiencing what it feels like to put your baby to bed and then have a few hours to yourself! You will get the most out of Batelle if you go in with the right expectations. The 2 week guarantee is a great confidence booster to give them a try (and they will stand by it if you decide it’s not for you) BUT it may take longer than 2 weeks to get the results AND THAT’S OK TOO! Every child is different. Although we saw signfiicant progress within the first week, our son needed a lot more time before he could nail the shorter bedtimes and reliable nights. However the team NEVER GAVE UP ON US. They just kept on re-enrolling us until we achieved our goals and workshopped solutions with me until we found the right one. The Batelle philosophy definitely worked but as time went on we adapted a few things here and there that worked best for our son's needs and temperament. When it comes to the guarantee, it's also good to remember that your baby is not a robot—you will still have bad nights occasionally. But you learn now to read their cries, so that you can give them a predictable and loving response in the moment without worrying that you’re going to ‘ruin them’ and their sleep progress. Also having the live support is a GAME CHANGER. Especially at the start of the program (expect the first few nights to be rough)—when it’s 2am, you’re exhausted and starting to doubt yourself, having the Batelle staff there to cheer you on and give you direction is priceless. I don’t think we could have gotten to the end without that. There’s a lot more i could say but i think I’ve shared the most important things. Knowing how far my son has come with his sleep journey, I can’t imagine what life would have looked like had we not tried Batelle.

If you are looking for a life changing experience- you have come to the right place. You might be hesistant as was I but this company changed our life. They lead with their head, heart, and hands- they are all in- and YOU- yes YOU matter. A year later and our daughter still sleeps through the night- sure there are hiccups but that’s the beauty of life and the method- quality ways to ebb and flow when sickness- regressions or life just throws a curve. Every single person you communicate with cares for you as if you are family- and for that I am forever grateful. I’m telling you from a once desperate mama to someone who’s life was on the line due to sleep deprivation- I’ll never be able to repay them for what they did for our family and I’ll always be advocate for something that actually works. You literally have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I truly believe God sends you the people you need when you really need someone and I call the batelle team Angels.

Finally have my child sleeping through the night and it’s been a game changer! All the sleep with none of the cry it out guilt

We’re now able to enjoy our evenings and longer sleep because of Batelle! Our son was flighting sleep everyday. We tried everything we could think of, including feeding, rocking to sleep and even cosleeping, but nothing worked. He simply wouldn’t go to bed. Bedtime took 1-2 hours every single night, and we were just exhausted. Our whole evening was invested in trying to put him to bed. Then we found Batelle. We worked through so much in such short period. It was really hard, especially when preparing to start the training and the first several nights of the actual training. But it’s all worth it. I think it’s important to point out that everyone’s super encouraging and understanding at Batelle. You’ll have the instruction and tools of how to sleep train your child, but most importantly, you’ll have all the support you need as long as you’ll let them.

As a paediatrician I spent a lot of time researching sleep training and I knew I couldn’t do a cry it out method. I felt that Batelle babies was a good program which respected the bond between mum and baby and put the emotional needs of the baby at the forefront. That’s what I thought when I started. After completing the program I can say it’s been so much more than that. They have supported me every step of my sleep journey and even if my daughter hadn’t slept a wink I would pay double for that kind of knowledgeable personalised hand holding!! As it was she started to sleep to the mantra very quickly taking my rocking to sleep nightmare from an hour to ten mins- and now after some time I think she enjoys snuggling in her cot alone. This is a five star kind and responsive service and if I have another baby I will do it again from the get go.

It has been wonderful to have had the opportunity to work with Batelle Sleep School and their patient advisors. My son and I went from nursing to sleep, with frequent wake ups and an exhausted momma - to falling asleep by himself and sleeping through the night with no nighttime feeds. There is a lot of hard work and emotional energy required to make the transition, but it’s so worth it. And the Batelle team is truly with you to guide along the way.

I am currently enrolled into the batelle babies program led by the two most amazing, kind and professional people. They do a fantastic job with the utmost care, attention to detail and dedicated work ethic that I have seen! Initially there is a 2 week program of classes which are so informative and useful in order to correct many of the issues that my baby had regarding sleep. The support that I received and am receiving is second to none and I am never made to feel bad when asking so many questions about my baby. It is a lot of money, but worth every penny in my opinion.
