Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

They have a wonderful sleep school that taught my son to feel safe enough to sleep through the night. It can be a challenge to complete the program and there are still times when my son is sick or something is emotionally bothering him and that can result in him waking up at night to call out for me... but I want him to know he can still call out for me when he truly needs me. He also became much more confident and comfortable when I would separate from him during the day. The program is wonderful and truly does teach your child that sleep is safe and that their parents are always there for them.

No, Batelle didn’t pay me to write this review. And no, I’m not a reviewer. In fact, this could be amongst the 2 or 3 reviews I ever wrote for any company. But this time, I feel morally obligated. First, a bit of context below: I have a 13 months old son and it’s just me and my wife who’s raising this beautiful kid. When I way it’s just us - I mean it literally. No friends, nannies, grandparents or relatives. Just us. He’s a breastfed baby and very chill. Until it’s bedtime. He kept waking up in the middle of the nights and would not go back to sleep before my wife fed him. It, very quickly, got so bad to the point that he’d refuse to let me wife get out of the bed. Every time she left the room, he’d wake up almost instantaneously and start crying. It was like he was sleeping with an eye open. Until we bumped into Batelle and decided to give it a shot. Ah, what the hell! Pricing: $1500 may seem a lot for a sleep services. But it’s the best $1500 we have ever spent on anything.. When you factor in your sanity, sleep and just being able to complete the basic necessary day to day tasks, $1500 seems nothing! It’s cheap. It really is.. Process: The process is daunting, exhausting and intense. That’s how you know it’ll work. It will take a toll for a few days. Maybe even a week or two. But trust the process. Trust their advisers and most importantly have patience. It’s not for someone who gives up really quick. It’s for someone who’s willing to do anything to keep their families together and make their baby independent in the process. Do it. You owe it to yourself and to your kid.

The actual best. We never felt great about cry it out, so of course all three of our children ended up sleeping basically in bed with me and we would constantly wake one another up all night long. We did sleep school with all three of our children separately, ages 4 years, 2 years, and 15 months at the time. While each child had their own challenges, we felt entirely and completely supported by the Batelle team the entire way through. Once we had gone through sleep school with our two oldest kids, they also helped us troubleshoot some issues when we transitioned them back into their bunk bed room sharing situation. I cannot recommend this enough, all three kids now sleep 12 hours each night, everyone is way more happy and well rested - ESPECIALLY mom & dad :)

Worth every penny!!! Sleep school is about so much more than sleep!!! My little one now sleeps 11 hours consistently!!! He doesn’t cry when he wakes up and does cry when going to sleep!!! This has made life so much better for momma and baby!!! Don’t hesitate because it works!!!

Batelle has changed our life. After many, many, many failed attempts and sleep training we were desperate. We started doing some research and in October 2021 we stumbled across Batelle. Our beautiful baby girl (10 months at the time) went from sleeping in our bed, waking multiple times a night, and waking up at 6 am to putting herself to sleep, sleeping through the night in her own bed, and sleeping in (or playing in her crib) until 7am! They helped support us ensure we did it in a calm manner, without any cry it out method. through so many up and downs over the past 8 months. They’ve been by our side through some tough transitions and regressions. Our daughter hit the 18 month regression a little early (around 16months) while getting her 4 molars, and she caught a stomach bug. All while I was about 20 weeks pregnant. During this time penny, Ayla and there teams were so supportive. They did daily checks with me, helped create a smooth transition plan to get Ella through the tough time, and stayed by our side checking in to make sure we were okay! Even when sleep school is completed they are all just a quick message away, with Casey being able to hop on a quick call as well to help you figure things out! They really make you feel safe and comfortable and help give you the guidance, tools and confidence to complete the program. Each stage provides amazing guides with amazing support ready to answer any and every question you may have. Overall our household is a much happier place now that we are all sleeping! And we can definitely say that baby number 2 will be joining Batelle as soon as he is old enough! They’ve changed our lives, and they can help change yours too! The only thing I wish we did was join sooner! Thank you Batelle for being our angels on the phone!

life changing!! i have three kids and have never gotten the sleep part down. so when we had number three we knew we had to do something. batelle worked within the first week and he’s been sleeping great ever since. that was over a year ago! so grateful to have this amazing sleep training program!

I recommend Batelle sleep/the Miss Megan method to anyone who's struggling with sleep. This is a remote sleep school that helped my son sleep well consistently, empowered me to handle any sleep obstacles and regressions, and taught me to be a better parent. At first it seems expensive, but you are actually purchasing quite a few tangible goods , services, and skills. And 10 months later, I actually feel they've been quite generous with the support. I was ready to pay for a night nanny for a couple of weeks just to regain sanity and sleep, and that would have cost more than Batelle, which will continue to be there for me until my son is 5 years old. He was around 14 months when he started. BEFORE BATELLE As a newborn, my son would wake every 20 min to 90 min. At 3 months, I started spending 3-4 hours a day every free time I had reading about sleep on google and Reddit and trying different things. i felt like a sleep expert. We were thrilled when we got 3-hour stretches, then 4, then 5 hours just be adjusting schedules and feeds. Bedtime was a nightmare, he would cry even though we would rock him, and it would take an hour. For middle of the night, he would be up for 2-3 hours. From 5-months to 10-months, we tried various versions of cry it out including TCB, Ferber, Sleep Lab, Huckleberry. We were successful in getting a week or two of sleeping through the night BUT it was extremely cruel, I had rocketing anxiety, my kid started having behavioral problems, his voice was hoarse and he had a hernia from crying for hours. AND THEN, we would hit a developmental milestone and we would find ourselves having to re-train as if it was from scratch, with extended amounts of crying. I was so frustrated because I was following everything to the letter. So I gave up and tried co-sleeping and sleep got even worse. I found Batelle at 3am after googling gentle sleep training. DURING BATELLE It was the most amazing, heart warming, confidence boosting journey. You get out what you put in. This is not where you have a sleep consultant come to your home and do the work for you. You have to attend class, learn, apply, and have fun with your child. It is challenging and it's 100% worth it. It translated to helping me with tantrums, bonding, and communicating with my child. It is not tear-free. My child did cry, but I learned how to interpret those cries and I was allowed to provide support and be a rock to my child when he needed it (vs having to listen outside or not be allowed to touch him). The sleep training not only taught him to stop being scared of his bedroom, and trust sleep, it also strengthened my bond with him and his trust in me. With Batelle I never had to doubt or question whether I was doing the right thing. I saw him progress every night and I saw his resiliency and safety building and it was beautiful thing. The 24 hour support during the 2 weeks is incredible. The Batelle sleepguides kept me going, encouraged me, and helped me tremendously live. We had so many celebrations along the way. It took my son 10 nights to get to the 5 minute bedtime and on the 13th night he slept through the night (he's a slow but steady learner!) . The first morning my husband and I saw him wake up and sit there quietly in his crib, we couldn’t believe that was our son. It felt like magic. AFTER BATELLE Yes, it still works 10 months later and best of all, it's SUSTAINABLE. Kids aren't robots, and sleep is a continued effort. We've had daycare, months of colds/sickness/etc, travel, teething including molars, multiple developmental milestones, and with every regression we've been able to get back on track. Most nights if he does wake up, I can sing to him over the baby monitor and he goes back to sleep in just a couple of minutes. I've reached out with questions to the Batelle team and get answers whenever I've encountered something new. I have more patience with toddler tantrums because I trained to be a cheerleader for him when he tried to fight sleep. He understands the expectations for sleep, the language and cues for bedtime, and we are confident to enforce it. SLEEP IS EVERYTHING! THANK YOU!

Our son was an excellent sleeper until back-to-back-back ear infections, ear tubes surgery, and a family vacation with a shared sleeping space at 18 months old derailed his sleeping habits. Once we realized this problem was not going to fix itself, we tried many methods to help him re-learn to sleep all night and go to bed without a fight. Private sleep coaches, psychiatrist evaluations to be sure we weren't "missing something," talking with the pediatrician, co-sleeping, cry-it-out, Ferber, books, podcasts, blogs, advice from friends, you name it. We were desperate, especially with a new baby coming into the house. I came across Batelle late one night around the time my son turned 27 months old, and told my husband "we have to try this!" We were now going on almost 10 months of disrupted sleep, and something had to give. Batelle was intriguing for many reasons, and we decided to give it a go. We received our welcome box, got everything set up, attended all the onboarding calls, and off we went. During the process with Batelle, I learned so much about my child, about babies and toddlers and their sleeping habits, and ways to build trust and consistency surrounding sleep habits and sleep spaces. I think I am a better mom for the three+ weeks we spent with Batelle. Everyone we encountered was kind, positive, understanding, and had been in our shoes at one time. They KNEW what night after night of no sleep felt like, and they all seemed genuinely dedicated to helping us. "Meeting" the other parents in our cohort over zoom made it feel like a family who was all on the same (yet unique) journey together. I cannot recommend Batelle enough if you need to take your child's sleeping journey in a new direction. We still have some work to do, but our lives are much better for having met everyone at Batelle. We are forever grateful to you and will miss you all dearly!
