We are the leading Sleep School for children 0-6 years old:

✅ We are pioneering a different approach to children’s sleep, based on building trust, connection and engagement
✅ We understand children’s sleep better than anyone, having helped over 5000 families, with the toughest of sleep issues
✅ We’ve taken these learnings, and create personalized plans for every child, parent and family, tailored to age, sleep issues, medical conditions, parental preferences, child temperament, environment (eg. room sharing with sibling) and other variables (eg. daycare). This gives every parent and child what they need in order to see success and get more sleep

No, we only teach responsive approaches to sleep that focus on fostering the connection and keeping engagement high between parent and child. We know that sleep is a time of vulnerability for a child, and our belief is that how parents engage with their children during these vulnerable times, has the capacity to teach children fundamental life skills and instil a sense of confidence in them that translates to all other areas of life.

Yes it was! However, over time we learned that we could simplify Batelle’s programs and make them more accessible to more families. We’ve therefore launched new support packages offering the same expert-designed, child-centric approach to improving sleep – but giving different support options to support this journey. We realized that not all families needed such a high level of support, so it didn’t make sense to charge them for it. This shift helps us make quality sleep accessible to more families, without compromising on the personalized experience Batelle is known for.
For those who have read about our previous program, please note, we no longer support the Hug or Ring cameras as part of any of our programs.

We don’t just teach you how to ‘fix sleep’; we coach you how to improve your child’s relationship with sleep for the long term. Over the last ~3.5 years of working with families, we have consistently had over a 90% success rate (up to 97.3%) and have worked with the toughest of sleep issues. The reason we see such high success is that we are working on the fundamentals: a child’s need to feel safe, loved and responded to. Some children need more reassurance and more time than others, but ultimately you’re building up your child’s confidence and sense of security, which results in them feeling safe enough to sleep independently. You will have 60 days of coaching access to Elle our AI expert trained on thousands of families, which is ample time to go on this journey with your child and adapt the program to your family’s needs.

Yes, Batelle now accepts both HSA and FSA payments at check-out. You will get a Letter of Medical Necessity within minutes, that should you need it, you can give to your insurance provider.  

You can read more about this in our HSA/FSA blog. 

Yes, we cover all things sleep. You’ll work on naps and night-sleep separately though, as we want to make sure your child is getting enough sleep through this transition period by balancing night and day sleep.

All programs are designed to be completed within two weeks if you choose. However, we find a lot of families choose to take a bit longer (between 2-4 weeks) to complete their program fully. You will have 60 days of chat support with Elle, our Sleep Coach AI, so you’re fully covered even if life gets in the way. If you need more than the 60 days, you can purchase more coaching on a month-by-month basis. Please reach out to [email protected] for more info.

Absolutely, we work with a lot of children with strong-willed temperaments. The key thing to understand is when a child is fighting bedtime, or gets really upset or angry when you leave the room, it’s coming from a place of fear. They feel most safe around you. And when you leave, they haven’t yet learned that they are still safe and that you are still there to protect them. When a child has a strong reaction, it’s their “fight” instinct kicking in, in an effort to keep you in the room/ prevent going to sleep etc. The way to address this is through love, reassurance and showing them that they have nothing to be fearful of.

If your little one needs a lot of reassurance and is sensitive, then we’ll make sure you take a more gentle, slower approach. For these little ones, using a responsive approach will give you the best results as it allows you to nurture them while also helping them learn to be comfortable independently.

Over 60% of the families we’ve worked with have tried one or multiple other methods before coming to us (and we have over a 90% success rate with them). Batelle is fundamentally different. It’s about “training” your child, or teaching them “self-soothing skills” – it’s far deeper than that. It’s about helping them feel safe and comfortable in their sleep space. When you see sleep through the lens of safety, that’s when you see the magic happen.

We’ve designed the program with the working parent in mind. We’ll help you make sure naps are predictable, you have a good pumping schedule (if applicable) and you are rested on your first day back 💪

Yes, we’ll even help you to navigate daycare so as not to be too disruptive. Once you’ve signed up, please flag this to our team and we can figure out a plan that will work with your set-up.
