Batelle Sleep SchoolReviews of batelle.com

It took us beyond sleep school but Elizabeth stayed with us no matter what and helped us get through this season. We are now sleeping through the night and almost no wake ups!

Before starting the Batelle sleep school program my 15 month old daughter was co-sleeping in the bed with my husband and I, and she was waking up 2 or 3 times a night. By the end of the 2 week program, my daughter was sleeping in her own bed in her own room for the entire night and putting her to bed became a quick and easy routine. This program truly worked for my daughter. The daily live sessions were very informative and provided a lot of clarity about what we needed to work on each day, and the sleep guides were always available to answer questions or offer support at any hour. I 100% recommend this program! My daughter, my husband and myself are all sleeping much better and getting rest at night thanks to Batelle!

We recently completed Batelle’s sleep school program with our 8 month old and could not be more thrilled with the experience and results. We went from our child needing to be held to sleep at night to his choosing sleep on his own within 10 minutes of bedtime and sleeping 12 hours on his own overnight in his crib. The steps of this program are thoughtfully laid out and parents are incredibly well supported through every step of implementation. Every staff member we worked with was an absolute dream and cared so deeply about helping us and ensuring our success. I can best describe this program as transformative and magical—we’ve regained confidence and our own good nights’ sleep as parents. Could not recommend Batelle any more highly.

My child has always been a decent sleeper up until recently. I don’t know what changed but she went from sleeping in her own bed to only sleeping in my bed and would wake every time I moved away from her during the night. We struggled with her only napping in the car or if she was being held. After some late night googling and not knowing what else to do I found Batelle. We were in the middle of moving so I wasn’t sure how well it would work but we decided to give it a try. The first night was rough and I wasn’t sure how we would make it through two weeks and get to the guarantee they have. By night three she was falling asleep with minimal interactions, wake ups were also going well with minimal interaction needed during the night. We’re halfway through our second week and the turnaround my 15 month old has had is incredible. She’s going the bed on her own within 5 minutes and is able to self soothe during nightly wake ups. She’s even asking for bedtime when she’s ready. Naps have improved also, she puts herself to sleep after a few minutes of playing in her own bed. Batelle is amazing!

We did Sleep School in January 2022 for our then-14-month-old son. He had slept well initially, but then we moved when he was about 7 months old and it all went out the window. Getting him to fall asleep was really challenging, and he would wake up in the middle of the night. It was impossible to get him to settle back down, so we were getting increasingly desperate. We tried the conventional advice (Ferber, etc.), and it just made everything worse. Enter Batelle. Okay, it *is* pricey, and we were initially a little freaked out. Of course the website is a little vague, and we were worried about what the method would actually entail. But we soon realized that the guarantees of “no cry it out” were real. The description on the website about consistent responses really are accurate, and they really do work. Only about 5 days into the program, our son started falling asleep quickly and sleeping through the night again. Today, coming up on a year since sleep school, he is still only improving. This summer, we traveled internationally with him. We were really nervous about jetlag and about him getting used to a new sleep space. But we brought his sound and light machine, and a monitor. Batelle sent us a video about how to support your child through travel, and we followed the advice there. Within 36 hours of us landing in Europe, he was back to his usual routine of bedtime taking 5 minutes and him sleeping all the way through the night. The best part is that you can easily ask family and other caregivers to just use your child’s known sleep routine. We did this while traveling (and had my parents put our son down for bedtime while we went off for a date night dinner), and it went seamlessly. I do wish that the responses in-app were a little faster, both during sleep school and after. But the really important thing here is that this stuff works, and it is easy to implement in your lives. If you follow the guidance you receive, your child really will sleep like they say they will! There is nothing else like this on the market.

Batelle’s program has been absolutely incredible! I was feeding and rocking my 7 month old son to sleep, every night, and he was waking every 2ish hours wanting to nurse. In my sleepy state I researched sleep training that used a non-cry-it-out method and came upon Batelle. Signing up for their program has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. We have not yet completed our 2 weeks but my son is on day 4 of putting himself down, in his crib, with me out of the room, in under 10 minutes. He’s also slept through the night for the past 2 nights - I can’t believe how rested I am and he’s been waking up in a great mood! Not only have I seen such great progress in such little time, but every person we have worked with at Batelle has been so amazing and so helpful. They understand this process is tough and don’t make you feel bad if you make mistakes - instead they offer suggestions of what to do differently. The program is very easy to follow and understand, their daily workshops let you know exactly what to do. Batelle has delivered everything that was promised, and more. I cannot recommend this program enough!!

Batelle have been fantastic and although we haven’t finished the whole program yet, our little 7 month old is actually sleeping through the night in his own crib which I didn’t think was ever possible. Before sleep school, he was waking every 1.5 to 2 hours and taking an hour to get down in the evenings, needing to be rocked or fed back to sleep. There were challenging moments but Batelle are with you every step of the way, offering 24 hour support which I couldn’t have done without! They’re your real cheerleaders and celebrate the wins with you too. I knew from the beginning we couldn’t do cry it out with our baby and even though our little one did cry (more than I expected) during this process, I was able to respond and soothe him the entire time. I haven’t slept between the hours of 4-7am for the past 7 months and now my little one is getting out of bed at 7.30am, it really is amazing. I’m so so glad I did and I’m looking forward to applying the techniques for his naps and having the support of the Batelle team until he is 6 which is also so great. I’d recommend to any parents who are having sleep issues with their child. Thank you Batelle, you’ve saved our sanity!

My family had a wonderful experience with Batelle. My 24 month old was fearful of going in his crib before the program and I resorted to having him sleep in my bed which I said I would never do. No one got much sleep while that was happening. Batelle teaches parents to help their children trust sleep while holding firm boundaries and also how to help them regulate their emotions, both day and night. I really learned a lot during the program. It wasn't always easy, but we are now in a much better place. The sleep guides are really there for you and I felt supported the whole time, and even now because we still have their help until our kid turns 6. We are all getting sleep again!
