Batelle Sleep School Reviews 542

My husband and I started off our journey with Luca who first welcomed us to Batelle. We had been searching for a non cry it out sustainable long term sleep solution we like to say. We were very confident after our initial call with Luca who understood what we were feeling and assured us that we were not alone. To give some back ground my baby is 6 1/2 months old and since birth has coslept, nursed to sleep, and woken up every hour throughout the night to nurse. To top that all off when the four month sleep regression hit all of his naps stopped. We joined Batelle babies at 5 1/2 months as a last hope. Kim helped us successfully nail down naps in Batelle babies and break our feed to sleep association. She provided two different nap schedules and each day we worked on them and finally we were getting great day time sleep! Unfortunately for us the last piece of the puzzle didn’t come together until we joined Batelle sleep school at 6 months. We joined sleep school honestly a little nervous maybe even scared since we couldn’t fix nights in Batelle babies. (But I will say I’m sure we were a very severe case lol) the first half of sleep school was so hard. I wanted to quit. But every night and every day I reached out for support. And every night and every day someone responded with encouragement and was there to help during not only every part of the night but the hardest parts. I’ll never forget the point that made me realize I could do this was night four after an hour of trying to convince my baby he could sleep my husband messaged and asked someone to help me over the monitor (I’m not sure why I waited so long I think I just thought I could do it alone lol). They jumped on immediately and talked me through everything. We got the baby to sleep as a team. Each night got better (even if sleep wasn’t better) to a point where we were getting excited to implement what we learned and we felt empowered knowing we had night support! By day 7 I was only messaging at night to brag about our wins! We are just starting night 10 but on night 9 we got 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep with only a few very brief wakings. We have never ever gotten more than a rare three hour sleep prior to Batelle. Batelle is a game changer for someone who is willing to put in the work for a long term solution to sleep. It’s a family and a team that will help you through your highs and lows and I couldn’t be more happy to have had this experience!

If you’re reading this, you’re probably sleep deprived and wondering if this Batelle sleep school is worth the hype and the investment. Im here to tell you, it IS!! I was once the parent that struggled to find energy to get up and have a whole day. I’d wonder how i was going to function after so many difficult back to back sleepless nights. Somehow i did but my brain was foggy and I wasn’t myself. It’s crazy how you kind of get used to functioning like that. I couldn’t take care of myself because I barely had the energy and I had no patience therefore I would let my frustration out on my loved ones and even my baby which made me feel awful! The guilt would eat me up. It was a vicious cycle. I hated who I was without sleep and I was just plain miserable because I couldn’t enjoy things like I wanted to. Sound familiar?

I remember when I found Batelle through a Google search and looking through all the reviews feeling hopeful like I finally found the answer to our problems! My husband wanted to wait because he thought my daughter was just going through a phase and he thought it was too much money. Turns out she wasn’t going through a phase as i suspected. Finally, he caved in and it has been the best decision we have made. I only wish we did it sooner!

My 10 month old is now sleeping 12 hours a night every night and napping super well! It is GLORIOUS! I feel like myself again and my baby is happier! It’s been the most amazing thing for our family!

When I asked my husband what he would say to other people about this program, he said “it works!”. He’s a man of few words but honestly that’s all you need to know. And with a money back gaurentee you can’t go wrong.

We received incredible support the entire way through and are so grateful to everyone on the amazing team!

Keep in mind, this is not a cry it out method but there will still be tears. However, you will always respond and support them. As a mom whose into psychology and childhood development, all their methods were sound! It will not be a walk in the park … it will take time, effort and patience but it is WORTH it, trust me! Stick it out and you’ll be sleeping soon.

Thank you batelle for this wonderful program! We are eternally grateful!

I joined Batelle sleep school two years ago, when my youngest son was just 6 months and I was venturing back to work. My experience back then was remarkable and I have continued to share my experiences with friends and family ever since- it was truly life changing!

However, I’m writing this review because of my recent, unbelievable success with transitioning my now 2.5 year old from a crib to a toddler bed. I reached back out to Batelle to get a plan together, to hear their advice and to mentally prepare myself for a transition I know most parents dread. They were quick to connect and support me once again, helping me build confidence in our approach and meeting me exactly where I was in the process. When the time finally came for night 1 in his big boy bed, my son not only slept through the night, but he independently put himself to sleep without ONE tear or fuss at all! He’s been sleeping like this in his new bed, for naps and at night, for almost a week now, so this was not a fluke… it’s truly a demonstration of the Batelle Sleep School philosophy! All of their teachings and lessons are about the internal growth of independent sleep and how to empower that in our littlest loves. So when I think about it, it’s no wonder that a transition of a bed didn’t cause mass disruption to our routine, he’s been empowered for independent sleep, regardless of the location, for years now!

If you are questioning the worth of this school, stop now & just know, the investment of Batelle Sleep School in your life and the life of your little’s will continue to pay dividends for years to come.

This experience was definitely worth the money. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner.
During sleep school it requires a lot of wake ups and tough nights but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Not only did this program help my almost 2 year old sleep better and consistent it has helped me better deal with those famous toddler tantrums. All I gotta say is don’t wait, don’t hesitate, just do it cause you will finally get to sleep and it feels soooooooo good!!!

Customer service and overall experience were excellent. Great app and hardware delivered to our house. 24/7 support was reliable and effective. They have done a great job creating a resource that can be used by many but still have an incredible personal touch. Would highly recommend.

My 8 month old daughter was waking up to sooth feed every hour before this program . Mom was getting zero sleep ! She now wakes up 1x at night and otherwise sleeps 10 hours ! This program is totally worth every penny !

Battelle saved me from going insane from not sleeping. My daughter was a 15 months and still not sleeping the whole night. Naps were 15-20 mins at best... She now sleeps 11 hours straight and takes a solid 2 hour nap at the same time every day. No crying, no fussing, I couldn't be happier!!

This system worked so well for my baby and my family. She went from walking up 6-8 times a night at 2 months old to twice and then once and now she sleeps through the nights. It is not the cry it out system and it isn’t just another version of watching them cry and not picking them up. You actually have tools to use to help your baby sleep. I wish I knew about it for my son. The support is great too, heaving someone to answer questions and guide you is perfect. It’s enabled me to go back to work-well worth it. We’ve been through travel and sickness and even an mri when she is supposed to sleep. Everyone always comments on how happy (and beautiful) my baby is. I highly recommend Batelle.

We started with Batelle when our son was 22 months. He wouldn't fall asleep in his crib, would wake in the middle of the night, impossible to get back down without a parent having to stay in the room with him, we had long nights and early mornings and had had enough!

Batelle has saved our sanity and given our son the confidence and peace to put his head down in his own space and sleep soundly the whole night through! And if he wakes, we use the Batelle tools to ease him back to sleep all from the comforts of our own beds.

With another baby on the way we don't know what we might be up against juggling a new born and a toddler sleeping habits and patterns but we do know that Batelle will be there for us if we need to re-set and re-group.

Having caring professionals and other parents by your side has been a gift you cant put a price tag on.
And in the moments you think "oh yeah right? This isn't going to work for us!" We were there too, and we pushed through, and even though it took us off and on a month (due to travel and illness) Batelle gets you right back on track and gets the whole family sleeping again.

I would give this gift to any parents and children that are suffering from sleep issues, no matter what they are!

We are forever grateful and now know that the road ahead may be bumpy at times but that we have the tools to go back to the beginning and come out as confident peaceful sleepers.

Thank you to Batelle and their whole team!

Our Batelle journey has been full of learning, growth and amazing support. With the team guiding us through ever stage and offering so many resources, we can now confidently meet our LO’s sleep needs, which translate to easy and comfortable daily routines and more fun all around! As a Montessori educator and subscriber to attachment parenting, I believe this sleep program not only perfectly aligns with the holistic, child center approach we take in all other areas of parenting but is the only one of its kind! We are so grateful for the opportunity to become better equipped and well rested caregivers with the help of Batelle!

We contacted Batelle sleep school for our 10month old son and well, for us too! His sleep was always inconsistent. One night he’d sleep thru the night, the next he’d be up every two hours or four. We had anxiety about goin to bed almost every night. We’re both working parents and this life and lack of sleep was unsustainable. Our son has been teething since he’s three months old. He has almost 10teeth now! So what we thought we were doing by soothing him to sleep every night was a good thing, we actually were creating a bad habit for him and ourselves. We thought about trying the “cry it out method”. But how do u let ur baby cry themselves to sleep at night when u know their in pain? That was another selling point for us with Batelle. They don’t believe in the "cry it out"method. They believe in finding the underlying root of the problem and help fix it. They helped our son feel safe enough to sleep in his crib and go to sleep on his own, all while knowing we would still be there any time he needed us. They helped us create patterns and familiarity our son could depend on so he had the capability of self soothing. We learned tools and techniques that will help us now and in the future to navigate our sons sleep. We feel more confident and less anxious about sleeping. They also helped us wheen our son off nighttime feeds which I thought was an impossible ask! Now our son can sleep thru the night without me having to put him to sleep or his bottle! Of course we still have nights where he wakes up here and there. But now my husband and I have the confidence and the proper tools to help our son and not fall back into old bad habits. We’ve now created healthy dependable routines for all of us. We now understand our son better , can read his cues more and have better knowledge of what to do. We are forever grateful to Batelle for giving us our life back, our sleep back and our happiness. Thank u! Sincerely Dan, Diana and Jaymeson Hardigan

The Batelle sleep school helped us go from an 8 month old who was waking up as much as a newborn to 11-12 hours of uninterrupted night sleep in less than 10 days! We had tried multiple different sleep training methods on our own without success and we just couldn’t let her cry it out anymore. While there were still tears, we supported her through the new changes and we felt supported by Batelle to meet our daily goals with confidence. Very glad we chose Batelle and have already recommend it to a friend!

We started the steps of the Batelle program on 3/14/23 and by 3/25/23 our son was sleeping through the night!!

Our son turned 2 on 3/16 (a couple days into the program) and I feel he excelled in the program because he is old enough to understand the tools used and how we are communicating. But also young enough that he is not trying to push boundaries with us yet. For example, after a couple days he started pointing to the monitor in his room and saying “see you” and would also point to the light and say “green time! Book?” He now gets excited for green time (bed time) and for the most part has no problem laying down to go to sleep on his own when green time is over and the light turns red.

He had a ton of anxiety prior to sleep school and woke up several times per night in full blown tantrums. He had been in a “big boy” bed for a couple months so during wakes he would run into our room (first wake was around 11 pm) and we’d either have to let him sleep in our bed with us or take him back to his bed and lay there with him until he fell asleep again. He’d wake up again at 1, 3, and 5. We’d either be dealing with hysterical crying again if we went back to our bed after he fell asleep, or if we stayed with him he would basically have to sleep on top of us and be touching our faces to feel secure. It was awful and none of us were getting the sleep we needed.

When we started Batelle we elected to use a baby gate on his room instead of the hug sleep sack that others have mentioned here. Once the kiddos turn 2 this is a good option to set the boundary, and basically his whole room became his bed. There were definitely some rough nights with him getting used to the gate and not being able to run into our room, but eventually we were able to calm him just through responding on the monitor, and now he has no wake ups at all! He now sees the gate as something that helps to keep him safe.

The hardest part for us were the check-ins and getting him comfortable without us being in site. It was really hard for him because of his extreme separation anxiety. One thing that helped us was getting a stuffed Elmo that reads nursery rhymes. We would ask Elmo to read us a story over the monitor and watch / listen from a different room so that our son could become comfortable with knowing we could always see / hear him over the monitor if he was having a hard time, and that he was safe.

We are so thankful for the Batelle program and the support we received from the team. We are all in better moods and feeling healthier now!

We started Batelle when our baby was 6 months old. He is our first child and we were having a hard time having him sleep through the night. He just wanted to be held throughout the night. Most times he wasn’t hungry, the moment we picked him up he would start crying. We were desperate. Although Batelle is expensive we opted for the payment plan. We liked the idea that they will help you up until your child is 6 years old and they provided resources and videos/chats for traveling, sick child, etc.

There were a few nights we wanted to quit and actually did, then the baby got much worse so we went back on the app haha, there were 3 or 4 nights in a row that was so difficult then all of a sudden he slept through the night. We thought it was a fluke but he’s been sleeping through the night ever since.

I thought it would be a nice bridge of someone else telling my husband what to do other than me lol. It was but I would get frustrated that I would watch the videos and join the calls and he didn’t know what anything meant. It would be very important to be on the same page; even though there were times my husband would mess things up (lol) it still made it so much easier to have the baby sleeping more. Very thankful.

Batelle is INCREDIBLE! We started with the Batelle Babies program when our son was 4.5 months old to establish the foundation needed for Sleep School later on. He is 7.5 months old now, we are currently on our final day of the program and it has already been LIFE CHANGING. My husband and I were very apprehensive about the investment at first, but we figured we had nothing to lose as we were both incredibly sleep deprived. Our son has gone from waking up every 2 hours at night, needing to be rocked or fed to sleep, and waking up early in the morning to putting HIMSELF to sleep, only needing a dream feed at night, and US having to wake him up to start his day at 7:00am! We are so excited to catch up on much needed sleep and know that even in the next few days he will make even greater strides. We are SO grateful for Batelle and would recommend it to absolutely anyone who has had troubles getting their little ones to sleep. We’re so thankful that we’ve been able to be by his side the entire time with no CIO! If you are on the fence about Sleep School, I can promise you that it is worth every penny and every tough night in the end! ❤️

We have a 30 month old and now a 1 month old, and our 30 month old went into a regression and was staying up until midnight. We needed a solution and decided to move forward with Batelle and are soooo glad we did! Sure enough, just after 2 weeks going through the program and following it closely, our 30 month old now goes to sleep as expected at her set bedtime usually within 5 mins and stays asleep all night :). The team is very supportive and helpful, and the app has tons of great info and is a great resource that has helped even with some issues beyond bedtime.

We were raw with exhaustion. Bedtime took over an hour every night. Our 2 year old was up one-four times a night. He started getting up really early. We had zero time to rest and recharge and it was hugely impacting everyone's quality of life. I was drained every day and dreaded every night. Out of desperation, my husband suggested we invest in Batelle. The cost seemed high, but their guarantee made it worth a try.

Over the course of two weeks our lives changed for the better. So much better. While Batelle's plan certainly is a large and very intensive commitment, we were supported every single hour of the day for our son's two week sleep school enrollment. Their plan was organized, tailor made, and made a lot of sense to us. And no CIO! We are so grateful for all the information, structure, support, and encouragement from the team at Batelle, and we are so proud of our son for absorbing all their instruction so well.

He now only takes about 10 minutes at bedtime and can get himself to sleep independently. He is awake overnight far less frequently, and is much better at communicating to us what he needs in those moments. And instead of him waking us up hours before he's supposed to, we wake him up nearly every day. We have collectively gotten 7-10 hours of our week back to rest, recharge, and be better parents as a result. It was worth every penny.

I would give 10 stars if I could. I came from a different sleep training that did not work, so I was completely hopeless, I could not even believe in the reviews anymore. The fact is that I was extremely tired and arguing with my husband frequently because we were both so nervous for sleepless nights. Anyways I decided to invest the money on Batelle school and it’s was the best investment I made. I say investment because I can see the return on my baby’s health and in my life in general. On day 4 I was already happy with the results. Now I’m on day 8 and my baby doesn’t cry to sleep, soothing herself, loves her crib and her room, recognize the routine and enjoy it. Just tonight she was trying to go inside the crib for her own. This mean so much to me. The team is just amazing, super responsive, I feel like I made friends. They not only bring the answer for the issues but I feel like they hug me on my moments when I did not know what to do. I know there’s a lot of methods and people trying to sell their methods, but if you wanna see results without giving up offering love and protection to your baby you just have to go with Batelle. Words from a happy mother :)

Batelle babies was truly life changing for us! My daughter had been an okay sleeper as a newborn, but when she hit the 4 month regression it all went out the window. She was waking up every hour and it would sometimes take multiple hours to get her back to sleep. My husband and I were skeptical that any sort of sleep school, let alone one that promised a refund within 2 weeks, would work for her. I am so glad we were wrong!

Not only did the Batelle program help with her sleep (and fast…she started improving immediately and we were in a very solid place by the end of the 2 weeks) but it also helped us get her on a much more manageable nursing schedule. And the emotional regulation lessons really helped us understand better how to support her both with sleep and otherwise. All of a sudden the days went from feeling like the Wild West to being truly enjoyable.

My daughter is now 6 months old and for the most part sleeps straight for 10-12 hours at night, with just one dreamfeed around 10:00 pm and only an occasional wake up or two. She also naps in her crib, often for 1.5 hours. Being able to ask any and all questions to the amazing Batelle babies team day after day is priceless. Even though we now understand the principles and practices, I would enroll again with no hesitation for my next child because being able to troubleshoot and work through things with the team is so worth it! I really cannot recommend Batelle highly enough.

Our 8 month old would only sleep while being held or laying next to either myself or my spouse. It was miserable. He wasn’t getting great sleep, we weren’t getting much sleep, and we didn’t know how to solve it … There had to be another approach other than letting him “cry it out.” After enrolling in the Batelle Sleep School, we learned techniques to help our baby to self-sooth. Additionally, we learned how to help our baby have positive associations with his sleep space. We built on those skills throughout a two week duration. Our little guy is now 9 months old. He is sleeping through the night in his crib. Occasionally he has a bad night, but he is consistently getting better sleep on his own. When he does wake during the night, we have the confidence and tools to get him back to sleep on his own. Without Batelle Sleep School I’m not sure where we would be in our sleep journey. I’m so happy we decided to invest in the program. It’s so worth it!
