Life-changing for our whole family
Our younger son has been a challenging sleeper since birth. I was very opposed to doing any sort of cry it out sleep training. We were perpetually sleep deprived and constantly having to negotiate whose turn it was to wake up with the baby (now 2). He would wake up multiple times a night and be up for the day by 4am. My partner sent me the info for Batelle after they hit a breaking point — another hour plus bedtime where they couldn’t leave the room until our son was fully asleep. We agreed Batelle would be worth the investment, especially because they promised we would not have to leave our son to cry alone in order to get results. My only regret is not trying Batelle sooner. We saw an improvement within 2 weeks, and in about a month our son was sleeping from 8pm to 6/6:30 am, with minimal fuss at bedtime. Our timeline was maybe a bit longer than some because we were traveling toward the end of the sleep school program. I could say so many great things about the program, but I’ll focus on a couple that stood out for us. 1) the 24hr chat option is incredible. It can be so lonely and tough to be up at 3am trying to think critically about how to get your kid back to sleep. Should you go in, pick them up, wait a minute, bring them in your bed…there are too many options and you’re just so tired. Having a kind expert available to tell us exactly what to do was so, so helpful. 2) it’s expensive, but you get a lot for your money. All their articles and video content, the chat support, 1:1 video calls as needed, supplies including a ring camera and sleep light…plus they extended the 24hr support for us well past 2 weeks since we were traveling at the end of the program and our son wasn’t quite where we wanted sleep wise. And we have access to the content and support for years to come. The strategies have even helped us support our older son, who is generally an easy sleeper but has the occasional rough night. Keep in mind the program will not turn your child into a robot who sleeps through the night no matter what. We still have off nights, sickness, travel etc and sometimes he wakes up at night or gets up too early. The difference is that’s now the exception, not the rule. And we have a plan for how to address issues and don’t have to go searching through the internet for ideas, or argue with each other. Priceless.
