Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

First I’d like to say that I DO believe that the program CAN work for anyone, as can be attested by the large number of positive reviews. However, I feel that each child’s experience and acclimation to the program can be drastically different so the claims/promises/expectations, such as “no-cry” approach isn’t always realistic. Now that being said, the program didn’t work for us as our child was extremely opposed to sleeping in her crib and doesn’t know how to self-soothe. In addition, my partner was apprehensive about this sleep training approach and the excessive crying just made the whole process extra challenging for her. The program is focused on an incremental “step” approach and I just felt that our daughter was not really succeeding at each step milestone but the program still encouraged moving forward through steps. Ultimately, we decided to give up around step 6 or 7, because we weren’t really seeing any progress, and this is when the reality of the “guarantee” was revealed, that the money back guarantee is only if you finish the full program. This doesn’t really make sense to me, if your child isn’t able to make progress on preceding steps, how can they be expected to finish the program? So the reveal is that you forfeit $500, of the $1,500 if you don’t finish the program. I had a few other minor gripes with the program generally speaking, I wish they had been more transparent about certain things and I definitely wish it had worked for us because we are still struggling to help our daughter self-soothe. Congrats for all those who is DID work for.

This program was amazing. The team was responsive and guided me in navigating the steps. They were amazing in supporting us and individualizing solutions for the barriers we had. We went from almost 4-5 awakening a night and temper tantrums, to being able for the whole family to finally get some good rest. Amazing and would recommend for anyone who is serious about teaching their family healthy sleep habits. It’s hard so he ready to work! But the sleep school team are there every step of the way

Our baby slept well until 4 months and then things slowly went downhill from there. I went back to work when she was 6 months so our habits to get more sleep + regressions = not quality sleep. Our daughter was waking up 2-3 times a night on a good night and was eating 8-12 ounces through the night. My husband & I had to switch off putting her to bed (and still do now). We needed a program where we could still respond to our daughter but wean her off and do it in baby steps. Batelle was the perfect program for us and are very thankful for these steps! Our daughter is actually sick(double ear infection + eye infection) but still did wonderful - which is an immense difference than before. My husband & I are very thankful for Batelle and feel supported to continue on until our daughter is 6. Thank you to everyone who was a part of our journey - we appreciate you!

My wife and I were struggling to get our little one to independently fall and stay asleep throughout the night. After months of poor sleep quality, we did some research and came across the Batelle Sleep School. Everyone whom we engaged with was extremely friendly. The mobile app and materials enabled us to quickly work through the training at our own pace. Within 2-3 weeks we had our daughter sleeping through the night, no longer in need of our touch or presence to fall asleep. We did hit a couple of regressions at developmental milestones and after travel/jetlag, but we were able to apply our Batelle learnings to get our little one back on track relatively quickly. Overall, I highly recommend this sleep training! (As an additional data point, I referred my sister who had a similarly positive experience with her little one.)

I had tried the CIO and modified Ferber with my 4mo and it was NOT working. We got into the bad habit of rocking him all the way to sleep, but then ended up doing some ninja maneuvers in an attempt to place him in his crib without him waking up. It was definitely not sustainable. During one of the early morning wakes at around 5 months old, I was helplessly googling and came across Batelle. I HATE spending money, and this seemed too good to be true (help until 6 YEARS old?!), but I decided to make the plunge. It wasn't magic, and he wasn't magically sleeping all night after 2 weeks, but things were MUCH improved, he was only waking 1-2 times for a quick feed, AND he would go back to sleep much faster than previously. I called that a win! The Ring camera that they included was super helpful, and I LOVED the 24/7 support. Sometimes, while I would be there working through a long wake period at night, I would just message the support team to keep me sane & busy so I wouldn't be counting the minutes--it helped time go by more quickly and with less anxiety. By 10 months old, baby boy had started sleeping on his stomach, and THIS was the magical key. He started sleeping 10-11 hours throughout the night, but I am convinced that if we hadn't done all of the hard work with the Batelle method prior to this, he wouldn't have been able to soothe himself back to sleep so easily. He is now 13 months old, and I have been able to use their maintenance support team to work through some sleep regression stages, travel, sickness, and most recently trying to switch from 2 naps to 1 (and they helped me do some trial & error to where I realized he wasn't quite ready to drop a nap yet). I am SUPER thankful for this program. Getting a full night's sleep is crucial for both us and baby boy. I am comforted to know that I can reach out when he gets a bit older and we need to work on transitioning him from crib to toddler bed, if/when he tries to come out of his room into our room, if/when we have another child which will alter his sleep schedule, etc etc until he is 6 years old. I encourage you to look at Batelle not as an expense, but as an INVESTMENT. It's been worth every penny!

I write this review while taking a break from weeding in my front yard. Our yard has looked like the Amazon for quite some time. I’m surprised the HOA has not yet fined us for its lack of upkeep. Now that I’m getting sleep, consistently, every night, I have the energy to maintain it. I also have energy to clean my house and cook food. Thank you Batelle! My quality of life has drastically improved since you taught me how to teach my daughter to feel SAFE as she sleeps. She sleeps from 7pm to 6am CONSISTENTLY. And I didn’t lay in bed crying, wishing I could go to comfort her as we have experienced with the numerous “cry it out” methods out there. To the parent or caregiver who refuses to let their child cry it out but still is in dire need of rest, Batelle is for you.

Would give 0 stars if I could. Was blown off right out the gate. I had a consultation scheduled and the person didn't show and did not respond to any emails asking about it. Not the kind of customer service I would hand over $1500 to!

We started in Batelle babies and had an amazing experience with Kim. She really was so understanding and non judgmental of where our sleep journey was when we started and she gave such sound advice. Going through the Batelle program brought a lot of knowledge and insight and now our family approach’s sleep with a whole new perspective. Thank you Batelle.
