10 month old: from bed sharing, nursing to sleep, and countless wake ups, to independently sleeping 11-12 hours and night weaned
Batelle Sleep School is a diamond in the rough. Don’t group it in with other sleep training programs. It is NOT sleep training. It truly is a school to teach babies and children to choose to sleep with the supportive guidance of their parents. It is a child-led, play-based, gentle program that allows parents to actively support their child and slowly teach them to self-soothe and feel comfortable in their sleep space at their own pace. While we chose to night wean, the program is completely customizable, and some mamas in the group decided to keep some night feedings. I love that it was cohort style so we were able to learn from other parents and get communal support. Miss Megan created the Hug sleep sack/top sheet to give little ones a snug, comforting and safe sleep space. It gives them boundaries and keeps them safely in bed, so you don’t need to worry about them rolling off their mattress, while still allowing plenty of room to roll around and get cozy in bed. Miss Megan has a heart of gold and the way she created this program shows it. It’s not always easy and, like any learning process, there are ups and downs, but know that your little one has you and your help throughout the entire process, and you have the help of the Batelle family and Miss Megan. You have nothing to lose. Do yourself and your little one the favor of a lifetime, and enroll in this gentle program that will teach your whole family the value of love, support, trust and, of course, sleep.
