Built For Your Baby

We build your program based on the individual needs of your baby. Whether they are a night-owl with frequent wakes, fight going to sleep at bedtime, are fed back to sleep throughout the night or will only sleep on you – we can get them the sleep they need.

The Night Owl

These little ones are up all night long! 10pm, 2am, 4:30am... Just as well they can sleep in the daytime...

The Bedtime Panda

These babies can’t bear to go to bed! They’ll fight bedtime because it’s much more fun to stay awake.

BABIES (6-12 MONTHS)

What We Guarantee

icon EFFORTLESS BEDTIMES

5-Minute Bedtime​

Bedtime doesn’t have to be a struggle. Many babies resist going to bed or sleeping without some form of parental intervention, like being fed to sleep or having one more story. This is because they've learned to depend on these... things to fall asleep. What this means is that for the vast majority of little ones, bedtimes issues are behavioural rather than biological. Our goal for bedtime is to be a positive experience of connection before you say goodnight.

icon UNINTERRUPTED SLEEP

Sleep Through The Night

We can give you and your family uninterrupted sleep at night. From 6 months old, a child starts to develop habits or ‘sleep associations’, anchoring them to certain people, objects or activities (eg. mom breastfeeding, dad... rocking, having the pacifier etc).

These sleep associations are usually somewhat arbitrary and cause persistent sleep disruptions for both parents and child that can last all the way into later preschooler years. With the right guidance, you can replace the sleep associations that are causing issues, while also making sure that your child still feels safe.

icon PEACE OF MIND

Non Cry-it-Out

Cry-it-out is unfortunately not very effective - especially as children grow older: we think there is a better way. We focus on training you - the parent. Rather than not responding to a child crying at night (eg. CIO / Ferber), we teach... the opposite.

We train parents to attune to their child’s needs, and respond in a way that both reassures the child but also continuously moves them towards better sleep habits. Through being present and engaged, you will not only solve any sleep issues your child is experiencing, but also deepen your connection with them.

icon YOUR SLEEP INSURANCE

5 Years of Support

This is the only sleep investment you will need to make. We are in this with you for the long-haul. As part of the Batelle family, you will be looked after, supported and coached through any of your child's sleep issues for the next 5 years.

“On average, each new parent loses a staggering 109 minutes of sleep every night for the first year after having a baby. That’s 663 hours a year!”

Batelle is the best choice we ever made

Going through the Batelle program is the best choice we’ve ever made! I’ve been able to successfully night wean our 8 month old as well as get him sleeping through the night from 630p-6a like a champ. The tools we have now to tackle the inevitable rough nights are priceless and I finally feel confident in the long haul of these early years. The support team is incredible as well and has found unique ways of encouraging your progress that don’t feel condescending or overdone, but rather genuine and always helpful.

Transformative sleep coaching

With Batelle's warm, responsive coaching, I went from waking up every night every 2-3 hours to a crying 10 month old who had to be held and rocked back to sleep to sleeping straight through the night in three weeks! I feel like a new person. The program provides useful data and structure, but also tailored the approach for my family. The team took account of sickness, travel, and our comfort level with crying, etc. The encouragement and presence of the Batelle team whenever I needed them got me through moments where I otherwise would have given up or fallen apart. I felt seen, recognized, and ....

This program saved our lives!

A mere two weeks ago, my husband and I were on the brink. Our 7-month-old would only sleep while being held which meant that starting at 8:00 PM, we would take shifts sitting with him on the couch while he slept. We were averaging around 4 hours of sleep a night and the whole family was exhausted. Everyone kept telling us to sleep train but the idea of shutting the door and letting our baby scream was an absolute non-starter for us. Allowing our baby to cry to the point of exhaustion went against every parenting instinct we had and we refused to do it, no matter how tired we were. I had seen Batelle pop up in a few internet searches but I was convinced it was too good to be true. But after a particularly terrible few nights, I decided to pull the trigger and do a consultation and I am forever grateful I did. The program works, plain and simple. The app is incredibly well laid out, the Zoom chats are informative, supportive, and helpful and the 24/7 chat support is just... the best. Everyone is incredibly patient and knowledgeable and you feel like you truly have help when you need it. And while our baby did cry (change is hard), the program allows you to respond every time in a meaningful way. You have to put in the work, and it's probably more involved than some other programs, but it is so incredibly worth it. Our baby was sleeping through the night by the 8th step and we were even able to ween him off of his pacifier. My husband and I feel like we have our lives and sanity back and most importantly, our baby is getting the sleep he needs. I love this program!!

Ultimately, if you succeed, we succeed.

Read more about who we are in our blog.

Cry-it-out is unfortunately not very effective – especially as children grow older. We think there is a better way.

We focus on training you – the parent. Rather than not responding to a child crying at night (eg. CIO / Ferber), we teach the opposite. We train parents to attune to their child’s needs, and respond in a way that both reassures the child but also continuously moves them towards better sleep habits. Through being present and engaged, you will not only solve any sleep issues your child is experiencing, but also deepen your connection with them.

Getting great sleep is not magic.

Similarly, the secret to a full night’s sleep is about helping your child feel safe and secure in their sleeping environment; so much so that they no longer need to wake up and seek reassurance – rather, they feel secure in the knowledge that you watching over them and they are safe. 

Our guarantees are simple:

  1. Have effortless bedtimes – 5 minutes or less (should you choose)
  2. Sleep through the night
  3. Our approach is non cry-it-out
  4. You have access to experts for up to 5 years 

 

If we haven’t been able to achieve the two milestones above (5 min bedtime, sleeping through the night), we’ll give you the option to receive a full refund or extend the coaching and support until your you reach your goals. The choice is yours.

To be eligible for the full refund, you need to complete your program. This applies whether you do your plan at the recommended pace or opt for a slower one. Please note you can’t request a refund more than 60 days after purchasing Sleep School.

We have a 97% success rate amongst graduates. But it does require your effort and participation. If you for any reason need to cancel before completing your program, a $500 cancelation fee will apply. Please note you can’t request a cancellation more than 60 days after purchasing Sleep School.

If you want to learn more about if Batelle is for you, read this blog about “5 Things You Should Know When Deciding If Batelle Is For You

Children with sensory processing disorders or ADHD? Absolutely. We have great success with our families who come for help. 

Children who are teething or going through a regression? Yes, we will adapt your plan accordingly to make allowances for these situations. It will likely take a bit longer, but you can certainly get to the results. 

Multiple children /twins? Yes, it does. However, we do advise you to either have two caregivers carrying out Sleep School, or to put one child through the program after the other.

Moms who are breastfeeding? Absolutely. We are breastfeeding and attachment-parenting friendly. We’ll work with you to ensure you’re still able to breastfeed in any capacity you seek, and we’ll help you wean your child at night if appropriate/desired. If your child still requires a night feed, we’ll structure your program to make allowances for this.

Co-sleeping? Co-sleeping is used to describe both bed-sharing and room-sharing:

  • Room-sharing is fully supported by Batelle’s method.
  • Bed-sharing however, is against AAP guidelines for sleep safety. So while we respect this as a cultural and family lifestyle choice, the method has not been designed for people who want to continue bed-sharing. If you want to transition your child to their own bed, we’d be happy to provide guidance. 

We are a currently in the (long!) process of being awarded FDA approval. Batelle is a fully accredited Better Business Bureau member.

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.
