This is truly magical! It is a wonderful experience that teaches your child to sleep, and through the program teaches you as a parent to work through difficult things as a child. They also give you the tools to comfortably deal with regressions and issues that arise (if any). This works!

IT WORKS- DO NOT WAIT- I PROMISE IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
If you're reading this at 3AM because your little one is awake for the 10th time- but your vision is blurry and your head is foggy is because you are SO TERRIBLY EXHAUSTED- then STOP EVERYTHING AND REACH OUT TO BATELLE RIGHT NOW!
I was you- 2 weeks ago- I hadn't slept longer than 3 consecutive hours (on the BEST days/nights) in almost 10 months. I was overwhelmed, frustrated, fearful, struggling, and the most chronically exhausted I have ever been in my entire life. All of the "help" I had previously received focused on varying methods of cry-it-out, and it absolutely tortured my mama heart (and just did NOT work for my baby). My baby ONLY wanted me- refused bottles- refused naps- refused her bassinet- refused her crib- all of it. I felt like something MUST be wrong - my baby was overtired and overstimulated every single day, and STILL would not sleep for any significant amount of time (and NEVER in her crib or without feeding to sleep). Every night of her life was restless and exhausting. Naps were almost non-existent. Everything I tried (and I tried SO. MANY. THINGS.) failed miserably, and left my baby upset and me feeling even more lost on what to do. Our lives felt like they were unraveling- one sleepless night at a time.
When my baby was about 9 months old my mother-in-law stumbled upon Batelle Sleep School- and when she told me about it I signed up for a consultation that very night. And then I hit google and read EVERYTHING on the internet about it. I could not find a SINGLE negative review, or a SINGLE thing about the program that made me feel uneasy (like CIO). It honestly sounded too good to be true. My husband was quite skeptical, as I'm sure many of you reading this now may be. But when we learned about the money-back guarantee, we were sold. What actually IS the price for sleep? To us- 9 months in- priceless, so we signed up and started with the first available cohort.
My baby is considered a high needs baby. If you're not familiar with this term, that's probably a good thing for you. It essentially means that these babies hate/fight sleeping, need lots of stimulation and constant movement, are very particular about feedings, need to be constantly held (only by primary caregiver), refuse to sit still or be restrained in any way (cue carseat PTSD), are extra sensitive to strangers w/ high separation anxiety, cry CRAZY loud cries for CRAZY long amounts of time...and essentially leave their caregivers feeling lost, exhausted, and overwhelmed. Don't get me wrong- my baby is the LIGHT of my life- but her determination and strength (from day 1) to ROCK the world really took a huge toll on our family. All of that to say - as positive as the reviews were, we weren't convinced it would work for HER. She isn't a "regular" baby, and everything else we had tried failed us time and time again. But we were desperate. And exhausted- so, so, so exhausted. Something had to give...
Our Batelle Sleep School journey was nothing short of life-changing. EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON. we met/worked with on the Batelle team was kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, confident, encouraging, and so helpful! The program is time-consuming, if you REALLY commit- and I highly recommend that you do (because IT WORKS). I felt overwhelmed at first. Just trying to figure out exactly how to set everything up and figuring out what the expectations for the next 2 weeks looked like. But again, the team was so helpful- I never had a question that went unanswered. Once we got in the swing of the meetings/soothing strategies/techniques/equipment use- it was no longer overwhelming. Miss Megan (creator of method) even helped with a personalized daily schedule for my baby! Each day of sleep school was actually more exciting, because I started seeing changes in my daughter that I never would have believed were possible- and quickly. Each night got a little bit better and a little bit easier. Each night she fell asleep more quickly- and so did I! I LOVE that I never once felt I was abandoning her to cry. NOT ONCE. I loved that the physical distance between us increased slowly- it was easier on me! Every time I got confused, overwhelmed, or unsure - I had immediate responses and help from the Batelle team. I felt so supported throughout the entire process, I think that's really what makes it all come together. I watched our lives transform over the course of 2 weeks in ways I could have never imagined!!
Here we are 2 weeks later. Sleep school graduation was today. My baby girl has been SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT, TAKING GREAT NAPS, SETTLING TO SLEEP QUICKLY, AND WAKING UP SO SO HAPPY- for several days now! We are all well-rested and the future is BRIGHT.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AN INCREDIBLE SLEEP SCHOOL. I will NEVER be able to thank them enough. I would encourage you to sign up RIGHT NOW. Zzzz

The help from miss Megan’s team is better than any experience I’ve had. They helped day and night. I thought for sure my child was not going to be sleeping through the night after two weeks in his own room with no help, but here we are, rested and feeling amazing. My two year old only slept 6-7 hours every night and now he’s sleep 11 hours! This has given me back time for my marriage and personal time. Absolutely wish we would have found this company sooner.

I just knew my child would be the…
I just knew my child would be the exception. She needed to lay with me, touch me, smell me and see me at all times to sleep. She could not go to her room alone and I was sleep deprived, angry, sad, and I dreaded bedtime. I missed my husband and missed relaxing before bed. Batelle coached and taught us how to establish boundaries and trust. The sleep guides were there when we needed them and really guided us through each step. Even long nights. It may sound CRAZY to pay for bedtime help but if you’re already crazy from lack of sleep, what’s to lose?! You’ll gain sleep, trust, love, and a happy child. My daughter is even happier during the day after resting more. It’s worth it!

Only sleep school to consider
I looked into sleep school for my three-year-old son who has only ever slept in my bed or on me. He would fall asleep by rubbing my belly and by me humming or singing or a loud sound machine on. It was getting to be too much because bedtime was taking an hour on a good night and over 2 hours on a bad night. I did not have my nights it was horrific, I signed up for sleep school for better sleep for my son and myself. I thought it was going to be terrible and that my son would argue the entire time however it went very seamless because this is the most gentlest way you will be able to teach your child to sleep on their own. It's a gradual process that makes it easier for you as a mom and for your child. Now my son goes to sleep on his own and stays in his bed after he wakes up in the morning he doesn't wake me up but plays in his bed calm. Bedtime takes an1/2 hour for him to choose sleep but it only requires about 5 minutes of my time because I put him in his bed he stays there until he chooses to sleep. He is calm there are no wake ups in the middle of the night and he is sleeping more deeply which makes him better rested during the day. I would recommend batelle to anyone looking for a solution to rough bedtime's or rough wake ups in the middle of the night. Batelle's team is the best ever and very supportive! I wouldn't of been able to do it with out them.

We had tried everything and I mean…
We had tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING to get our 2 year old to sleep by herself in her bed in her own room. Before we started Batelle we paid another sleep consultant far too much and we were guided through cry it out method which only made matters worse. There was no money back guarantee and after 2 weeks we were on our own.
We turned to Batelle as our last ditch effort because they promised us they wouldn’t abandon us AND offered a money back guarantee. We figured we had nothing to lose and we fully expected to ask for our money back.
To our surprise, it worked! Actually, in retrospect we should not have been surprised. Miss Meaghan’s method is multi layered and she has thought of nearly everything. This is NOT something you are going to find on the internet for free. It’s NOT your common sleep training “tips”.
Do this now. It’s worth every single penny.

Just over a year ago or so our lives…
Just over a year ago or so our lives changed with this wonderful program when it felt like all hope was lost at one point Batelle turned it around for our son Finn. What a great team with Miss Megan leading the way.

Worth. Every. Penny.
Batelle sleep school has transformed our lives. Going into it we had very little hope of a positive outcome because of how co-dependent our toddler had become in order to sleep. Interrupted sleep, cries for more milk, and leaky diapers were our normal on a nightly basis but magically this all ended before sleep school even fully completed! We did encounter some small issues such as delays in getting started due to products being on back order and technical issues with the app, but these were all eventually resolved and the Batelle team was very supportive throughout the entire process and stayed in constant communication with us. We were just experiencing some of the growing pains of a new company undergoing explosive growth. In the end it was completely worth it. We are almost three months post sleep school and we couldn’t be happier! Miss Megan is a true subject matter expert and her methodology works wonders.
