Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

Our situation was not easy. Our 2yo son was dealing with severe separation anxiety after a cruise where we spent nearly a week sleeping together. When we got back home, he could no longer sleep by himself. We coslept for a few weeks before realizing it was unsustainable. Tried to retrain via Ferber but his ability to climb out of the crib, open doors, and stand at the baby gate for several hours made it clear that we needed a more gradual approach. After reading more about Batelle, we signed up and met Sam. It was a grueling 4 weeks. While we almost didn’t make it and there were periods where we were really questioning if we could continue, I’m happy to report almost a week of good sleep. Sam not only helped us wean off the pacifier - something that he had been addicted to since infancy; she also helped us get him to sleep by himself again. That means we say goodnight, shut the door, he doesn’t go crazy, maybe there is a night waking, but he is able to fall back asleep with a few messages over the baby monitor. It truly was an incredible journey. We are beyond appreciative of Sam’s firm but loving support. She helped us through what we thought was impossible. Our entire family’s sleep has been restored.

We are beyond grateful for Sam, our sleep consultant at Batelle. From the very beginning, Sam went above and beyond to support our family through what felt like an impossible sleep journey. Her approach was warm, compassionate, and so incredibly thoughtful — she didn’t just hand us a plan and walk away. She was with us every single step, providing guidance, reassurance, and the most helpful tips to get us through every tough moment. What stood out the most was how empathetic and understanding she was. Sam truly listened to our concerns, never made us feel judged, and approached everything with such calm and kindness. Her support was never one-size-fits-all — she tailored everything to our baby’s needs and to us as parents, which made all the difference. Thanks to her (and the amazing Batelle program), our child is now sleeping independently and peacefully, and we’re sleeping too! Sam’s dedication and care truly changed our lives — we couldn’t recommend her or Batelle more highly. If you're struggling and feel like you're at your wit’s end, Sam is the person you want in your corner. We’ll forever be thankful for her guidance and heart. 💛

The best $1,250 spent this year -- $1000 was for a month of help from Sam, our sleep consultant, and $250 was for the app. The consulting fee included 30 min slot meetings with Sam twice a week for a month, messages on the app directly with Sam where we gave her updates in the morning, pre-/post-naps, and how bedtime went, and email instructions every night. She would always give very helpful feedback and constructive criticism where needed, and tailored specifically to our situation. Just like everyone else considering Batelle, my son has always been an awful sleeper his whole entire existence. It only got worst after he turned 1, and it went from 50% sleeping through the night to practically 0% for half a year straight with wakeups sometimes lasting up to 2 hours. So when he turned 1.5, we were desperate and needed to find a solution. We've done some form of sleep training several times, but it just didn't really stick whenever he got sick or went through a regression. I was also not a huge fan of CIO methods. Also tried cosleeping but he would still cry a few times a night by my side. My son is now a pro-sleeper. He knows the drill at bedtime and knows that wake up time is at 6:30am when the birdies chirp (from the Hatch machine). Before the birdies chirp, he just rolls around in his crib and entertains himself with his stuffies or with his babbling. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, 99% of the time, it just takes a quick mantra for him to go back to sleep. We even tested Batelle with some traveling/regression. We stuck with what we learned from Sam, and we got back on track relatively quick. I would highly recommend this program. It does require you to put in the work to read through the materials, stick to the program, and be consistent. The first two weeks were really tough (constant wakeups, a million mantras, a lot of crying but with us sitting right by him), but he started to understand what was expected of him around weeks 3 and 4. The outcome was 100% worth it for us. (My sister also used Batelle a few years ago and had success. Her daughter was 14 months old when they pulled the trigger.) Thank you, Sam! From a mom without undereye bags anymore :)

We were referred to Batelle through a friend who had a baby 1-2 weeks apart from our daughter. We were having trouble with her going to sleep for naps and night time. It was getting worst and worst every week. It got to the point where we’d spend literally hours trying to do all the tricks we could to get her to sleep every nap and night time. She was also sleeping in our bed and her crib and bedroom were unused other than using her dresser and closet for her clothes. Finally, we had had enough and tried out the Batelle sleep training. We were in touch with Sam. Sam had some questions for us and we had a discussion with her. She had us on track real quick and our baby girl by the 1st week was sleeping in her own bed and sleeping through the night. It was nothing short of AMAZING!! We now don’t have to do any tricks to get her to sleep. We just do her bed time routine that Sam and Batelle taught us. Now our kiddo has been on this program for 4 months and everything so far has been totally worth it! We highly recommend Sam and her team at Batelle. They are very experienced and are there to help. I will say the AI piece is not very helpful. Especially when you have a great partner like Sam. She gave us a customized approach based on an extensive 20 minute survey. Highly recommend the one-on-one support with a Personal Sleep Expert for anyone that is sleep deprived and at their wits end to get sleep again.

I cannot recommend Batelle to enough parents struggling with sleep. We started this while I was pregnant with our second and have not had any issues with our older sleeping. The program makes so much sense and there was so much support. Seriously a life changer and worth every penny

Batelle was and will continue to be the most amazing tool for us a first time parents. Every night when we put her to sleep we’re still in utter amazement of the ease of bedtime and the sound sleep our daughter gets through the night. It’s taken away such anxiety around bedtime and the fear of how many times she was going to wake up. It’s so remarkable I would do it again in a heartbeat- worth the money without a question. We worked with Sam who was so supportive and wonderful and honest and knowledgeable and we cannot thank her enough. Have recommended batelle to anyone who will listen basically!

I would give Batelle a thousand stars if I could. I read a couple of bad reviews and thought it sounded laughable as the service has excelled. When I emailed customer service they responded within 20 min. Their customer service and sleep guides helped so much when I needed it. It sounds like some parents don't read the service terms of agreements they sign at purchase which sounds like a them problem. My toddler was up every 45 min, the process is tough of course and so hard on me as a mom but she is now sleeping soundly. The sleep guides were like mini therapists for me when I needed reassurance, they deeply cared about getting me through to the other side and they were my cheerleaders. If I had an app issue customer service was on it. If you need a fresh start this company saved my life, my family and my sleep.

Two years later and still going strong with Batelle! We have enjoyed just over 2 years of amazing sleep! We started sleep school when our baby girl was about 8 months old. She is now doing 2.5 hours during her nap time, without any support and sleeps from 830pm to 730am. When she does wake earlier than 730am, she will just stay in her bed and plays on her own until the cue for wake up time comes on. Transitioning her from her cotbed to bed was really easy with Batelle's support and also the strategies we implemented when she was a baby from Batelle. We also travel often and Batelle's method has helped us feel in control and maintain consistency even whilst travelling. Timezone changes and jetlags are something they've really supported us with, so the transition from going from the UK to Australia only took a day to get over when we made the trip back to see our families back in Dec 2022. She's since been to 15 countries and it's still as seamless. The support from the sleep school to after graduation as an Alumni has been amazing. Our point of contact, Polly, was just wonderful, but Batelle has also evolved since. Even the information on their app continues to get updated and changes as your baby grows. 100% would recommend! Thank you so much!
