Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

At 4 months, my daughter started occasionally sleeping through the night but we could find no consistency with this. The status quo was erratic and stressful daytime naps, endless bouncing on the yoga ball, 5 - 10 night wakings starting 45 mins after bedtime, nursing back to sleep every time, and a very stressed out, touched out, sleep deprived mom. I read all the sleep expert blogs and articles, watched all the videos and nothing helped. Cry-it-out was struck from the options after one horrible 45-min attempt. Too harsh, too painful. I finally decided I needed to hire a sleep consultant. Enter the Batelle Babies program. So much more than "a sleep consultant". I spoke to someone the same day who understood what I was going through and answered all my questions about the service. Within days, I was enrolled in the classes and starting to lay strong foundations for my daughter's sleep. I started to see results with the first step. She was no longer fighting sleep at nap time and settled into a more predictable rhythm. Very encouraging. When we started implementing the full method (which was an intense experience for the first 3 nights), everything changed. Just one month later, my 5 month old goes to sleep in her crib with no bouncing, no nursing, and usually no crying, and she stays there all night except for her scheduled feeds. The yoga ball is back to being workout equipment and not a baby sleep aid. It's been a complete transformation. What I loved most about Batelle Babies is the ongoing 1-on-1 support available as needed via text chat or zoom calls. I always felt I was in good hands with the BB team. This should be the new standard in sleep training.

I was at my wits ends. Complete torture waking up every 2-3 hours at night for 10 months!!! I was willing to do anything (except the cry it out method). At 2am, already on the 3rd wake up of the night, I was desperate for answers. I Googled “gentle sleep training method” and Batelle popped right up. I read about them and couldn’t believe it. I thought, “Is this too good to be true? Money back guarantee? What was there to lose?!” Nothing except more hours of no sleep for our family!! We pulled the trigger and within days we were already on the onboarding progress. I was so hopeful, excited, nervous and praying this would work!!! The first few days were NOT easy!!! It was actually the worst it ever was!!! But then by the third day, magic happened. And with every passing day, the wake ups got less and less. I couldn’t believe it was actually working!! Batelle is the best thing that ever happened to us!!! But you have to be able to be in the work in order to see results!! You need to be dedicated and motivated to change. If you are not willing to put in the work, this method is not for you. But the reward is sooo beyond worth it!!! Hard work truly paid off!! I wake up every morning still in shock my baby slept through the night. It’s life changing!!! I can’t say enough amazing things about the company, program, staff and everything in between. The staff of Batelle truly cares about your little one and your family. Each and every one of the staff is so kind and caring and genuinely wants to see you succeed. I wish I found them earlier so I didn’t have to go through 10 months of sleepless torturous nights!!

My wife spent months trying to get me to do this, and I finally agreed. It was well worth it! Juliana (2 years old) took to the lessons right away, and still finds comfort and structure in what we've learned together. I'll admit, I didn't think it would go so smoothly, but with the instructions and support from the team, she now stays in bed and sleeps through the night, only occasionally needing a word of comfort from me over the monitor (and by occasionally, I mean once or twice a week(!)). The school has helped not only her to get the rest she needs, but us as well! Note: The "Date of experience" on this review is the date of her "graduation," but I have little doubt this will give us solace well beyond that night.

I’ll start with the fact that I’m frugal in almost every way. I pushed through 2 years of poor sleep with my first son and something broke in me when it started happening again with my second. I was desperate enough to take the carrot of a refund if my kid wasn’t sleeping through the night in 2 weeks with a 5 min bedtime (no it’s not cry it out). I mean yeah.. that’s impossible right? And if it isn’t then ok take my money! Well they exceeded my highest expectations. The team was so helpful and kind. If you have a kid that isn’t sleeping it affects everything; Your marriage your health, your other kids (temper much?), your house (is a mess), your job (you can’t think anymore) and you look like crap. You are putting your kid down for the 4th time in the same night and just feel completely alone. Not only did this program teach me how to fix it, they helped me understand how to give my kid tools for life success in the process. Also I wasn’t alone anymore. I wasn’t resentful that my husband got to go to work and got more sleep, and I stopped feeling trapped. They give you simple steps to follow and if you are to tired too make sense of it (I was) they digitally hold your hand and walk you through each step. Don’t get me wrong it’s hard work for you and your kid. But holy cow with lasers the difference in my son was apparent inside a week. Even at 7 months he was able to feel safe enough to let himself sleep. He trusts me and I can see it. I would have loved to have had this be part of my childhood. I am so grateful for what is has done for our family. If you are on the fence… yes the grass is much greener.

It has been about 6 weeks since we enrolled in Batelle Sleep School and I am blown away by how quickly my two year old son, Ryder responded to the program. We were in a real sleep rut that went on for many months and included many sleepless nights. Ryder would cry himself to sleep most nights and wake up multiple times throughout the night and get out of his bed. I decided I couldn’t go on like this much longer and found Batelle during a sleep deprived google search. I was impressed with how quickly the sleep consultant connected with me and spent time listening to my story. We quickly enrolled and within a few days of starting the program, Ryder was sleeping through the night! Batelle provides you with the tools (the special hug sleep sack, hatch light and ring camera). The process is really gradual and gentle but kicks in quickly. They truly are available 24 hours a day for any questions, big or small, to get you through the tough moments. One of the most important takeaways from the program is to make your child feel safe during the sleep process. Each night before bed, we still talk about safety and tell Ryder he is safe and loved before leaving the room. I cannot recommend this program enough. It truly is life changing to get that time back in your life! I feel like a new person after catching up on months of lost sleep and am so grateful for Batelle for making this happen!!

Our daughter is 2 years old, and she hasn’t slept through the night more than a few nights her whole life. She also experienced significant tantrums regularly for the last 6 months. We’re only a few days into the process, but almost immediately after we started implementing the strategies taught by Batelle, her whole attitude completely changed. Not only has she become much more calm during night routine, but during the day she is listening more, she is helpful, she has more of an ability to self-soothe and is overall more happy! She even told us today how happy she is! We attribute a lot of that to Batelle and the guidance they have given us as parents. We now have many more tools both for helping our child sleep and parenting in general! Thank you Batelle!

We found Batelle to be well-organized, and the consultants were kind, patient, and thoughtful in their approach to our difficult sleep situation. Although our child did not meet the goals of the program, we would highly recommend Batelle to any family who is seeking a comprehensive and supportive sleep program. We especially appreciated Elizabeth and Jess for their tailored guidance.

We signed our son up for Batelle Sleep School at 18 months - he’s now almost 3 years old, and enrolling in Batelle was and continues to be one of the best decisions we’ve made. At 18 months old, our kid refused to sleep. He needed to be held for literal hours to nod off, would wake up an hour later and repeat. We were all exhausted and miserable. Enter Batelle. While a commitment, within 2 weeks our son put himself to sleep and slept through the night. We were so impressed with the holistic, child-friendly nature of the program and blown away by the support of the Batelle team. More than a year later, our son continues to be an excellent sleeper who chooses sleep, and my husband and I have the skills to handle anything that comes our way - regressions, travel and all other types of sleep disruptions - giving us flexibility we didn’t imagine possible. The Batelle team continues to provide support whenever needed - they’re sincerely invested in the well-being of their enrollees even after “graduating”. In short, if you’re even remotely considering Batelle, go for it. You won’t regret it!
