Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

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!

After 10+ months of no sleep with my otherwise perfect baby girl, I was losing my mind I kept hoping her sleep would improve as she got older, but it was getting worse!! Broken sleep all night and more often than not she would be up crying for, up to, two solid hours in the middle of the night. I couldn't get her to sleep standing, sitting, rocking, bouncing, co-sleeping. Just at my wits-end. I started researching Sleep Consultants. I knew I didn't want to use the cry-it-out method, so in my research, it was important to me that I wasn't going to just leave her crying in her room. I came across Batelle and the promises seemed too good to be true. Honestly, if it weren't for the money-back guarantee I'm not sure if I would have pulled the trigger. Since I had nothing else to lose, I skeptically signed up for this two-week program, thinking that I would be getting a full refund for sure! To my shocked and amazed delight, by the end of 10 days, not only was she sleeping in her own room she was sleeping all.night.long. I'm talking 12 full and glorious hours!!! Even when she was fussing or crying, I could soothe her just over the monitor 98% of the time. Knowing what I know now, I would happily pay double because the methods and tools work!!! If you are on the fence but also sleep-deprived, do yourself and your baby a favor, and SIGN UP!!

I was skeptical of the price tag for Batelle, but now that we are through sleep school, I can’t imagine having gone on without it! The sleep our whole family gets now, as well as our baby’s wellbeing without having to do cry-it-out, is priceless! I’m not going to lie, the first couple nights were pretty tough, but if you stick with it and keep up with the reading and calls, you will not regret it!!!

Our family was falling apart from our 3 year old not sleeping. Batelle completely gave us our lives back! My Joey was 2.5 when he stopped sleeping through the night, he was awake for hours at night, was moving constantly and could not sleep or stay in bed without my husband or me sleeping with him. Joey has Sensory Processing Disorder and low iron which complicated things further. For 10 months we suffered, me and my husband could not function at home or at work anymore and nothing was helping. We found Batelle and everything changed, this program and company is a miracle! The 24/7 support, the meetings on zoom, the website, the encouraging staff were fantastic! The staff were there every time we needed them, they could look on the camera and coach us through. I don't know where we would be without Batelle, we were out of options before them and now our family is thriving and to think it only took 2 weeks is mind blowing. We cannot thank Batelle enough for what they have given us! Things that sound to good to be true usually are until now with Batelle!

We joined Batelle when our daughter was 4 months old and her sleep felt like it had hit absolute rock bottom. Bedtime was exhausting, and she was waking up almost every hour. We were extremely sleep deprived, but most of all felt we were not providing her with the skills we felt she wanted and needed. As our daughter was still too young for Sleep School (from 6 months onwards), we joined Batelle Babies for weekly sessions with Miss Megan and Emily, where we were gradually introduced to Miss Megan's method. We slowly started implementing the method and steps at a pace that suited us, with Emily so patiently guiding and supporting us through the process. We assumed we would sign up for Sleep School the moment she turned 6 months, and we were really just hoping for small improvements until then that would hopefully make life and Sleep School a bit easier. Fast forward and our daughter is now 8 months old, happily and independently choosing to sleep, and is sleeping 12 hours a night, all without ever enrolling in Sleep School! It's hard work, it's demanding, but it's also respectful of the child, it's intelligent and it goes beyond sleep. We are forever grateful for Batelle for changing our family's life. We now spend our freed up evenings talking about how great Batelle is :) Thank you Emily and Miss Megan for everything, we love you!

Batelle Sleep School is a miracle. The process was difficult - it was a really long and grueling two weeks. You have to be willing to put in a lot of work. Definitely try to schedule your session for when you have a break from work or school. There were more tears than I expected, as my baby was still being responded to, just not in the way she wanted as she adjusted to her new normal. The method and support from the Batelle team was phenomenal and the results of the program are 100% worth it. My daughter started the program sleeping in my room, nursing constantly throughout the night, and only taking contact naps. When I managed to set her down asleep, the longest she would sleep was 40 minutes before waking up screaming for me. NOW she sleeps a 12-hour night with one dream feed, in her crib, in her own room. And she takes both naps in her crib or pac’n’play with minimal fuss. My quality of life improved drastically. Batelle Sleep School is worth every penny. I walked away with all the tools I need to handle any sleep hiccup from here on out. They really teach you and help you internalize their methodology for lasting success.

The two biggest questions anyone will ask about this program are: is it worth the money and does it actually work. When I told friends how much we were spending, almost to a person, everyone said, “Well can you put a price on good sleep? That’s worth it!” If you have the means, then I say it’s worth the cost to get access to a caring team, a detailed program and a sleep training that works. That leads into the second question, right? Does it work. In our experience, yes. We had a baby who just didn’t quite have any of the self regulating skills one needs to get asleep and stay there. We were dealing with five-seven early night wake ups that required us to pause what we were doing and go help him settle and one wake up around 2 am that didn’t end until I took him out the crib and had him sleep on me in the rocking chair. Kid loved a pacifier as well. Within A few nights y we saw him begin to adapt to the new normal and sleep paci and wake up free for 12 hours. Of course there were challenging moments but that’s when the round the clock support team was there to walk me off a ledge or guide me through my supports and interventions. Their calming manner helped give me the reassurances I needed to believe we were on the right track. Through teething, sickness, and developmental milestones our baby has ebbed and flowed as a sleeper. But the foundations of this course kept us sane and gave us confident that he would eventually choose sleep.

I was at my wits end with my 4 month old and her sleep regression. This was my second kid. I did not have this many issues with the first. I used 12 hours in 12 weeks and it worked like a charm. It unfortunately didn’t work at all with my daughter. I would try different stuff for a few days over and over again, but she would wake 4-5 times a night and I was getting zero sleep. This was January 2022. I knew we had a family trip scheduled for Feb 9th and if she wasn’t sleeping better 2 weeks before, I was going to cancel this trip. I was desperate. I had heard of Batelle from a mother with twins who didn’t use their services but heard good things from her friends that did. The price for my sanity and sleep was well with it. I wanted to start immediately two weeks before our trip and Emily, the Batelle sleep coach, sent me videos of a previous class since I just missed the start of one of their classes. I was in constant contact with her about my daughter and her schedule, eating habits, naps etc. I flew through those classes and got all my questions answered. Having someone to talk to about your kid’s specific issues is priceless!!! We’d talk about how the night before went and set up another game plan until she slept through the night. I can honestly say she was sleeping through the night within two weeks. Then I though, oh no we are going on a trip! This will screw everything up. And no it didn’t. The philosophy is amazing and you are teaching your kid how to emotionally regulate when he/she doesn’t know how. You are helping your kid understand that being in their crib is safe. Batelle helps you, as the parent, be able to sit with your child when they are having a hard time. (Ear plugs are a must) You can start to discern between different levels of crying. You are given tools to calm. Not going to lie, there is a lot of singing. But this works! I’ve just enrolled my almost 3 year old. The fact that Batelle supports you until the kid turns 6 is AMAZING! I now understand why there are so many books on sleep, but this is one method that I believe will work for all kids. They guarantee it.
