It’s how you get 5 minute bedtimes and uninterrupted nights. Guaranteed.

Built For Your Toddler

We build your program based on the individual needs of your toddler. Whether bedtimes feel like a hostage negotiation, they need something particular to go to sleep (paci, teddy, you), they come through to your bed at night, or they are feeding to sleep – we can get them the sleep they need.

TODDLERS

What We Guarantee

icon EFFORTLESS BEDTIMES

5-Minute Bedtime​

Bedtime doesn’t have to be a struggle. Many toddlers 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 children, 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, your toddler will have started to develop habits or ‘sleep associations’, anchoring them to certain people, objects or activities (eg. mom standing at the door,... dad holding their hand, 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, in a way that that your child still feels safe and reassured.

icon PEACE OF MIND

Non Cry-it-Out

Cry-it-out is unfortunately not very effective - especially for toddlers. This is why we take a different approach. 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

Reviews from Batelle Families

We got out sleep (and bed) back

Our 16 month old son went from feed-to-sleep, waking up 1-2 hours later crying, spending the rest of the night in bed with us and given 3-6 night feeds, to sleeping through the night in his own room consistently. Batelle gave us our sleep, our bed and our evenings back. It was 2 hard first nights of the program and then it was night and day changes each day. Two and half weeks later he sleeps through the night in his own room, happily! It's a system and it works and I can't recommend it enough to anyone struggling with sleep wanting to avoid cry-it-out methods.

Completely transformed my child’s sleep

Batelle completely transformed my child’s sleeping habits. He is 13 months and has never slept through the night. He woke up every 3 hours since he came home from the hospital & at 9 months he started waking every hour and a half. After going through Batelle sleep school he now sleeps through the night with only one occasional wake but goes right back to sleep. I finally have my sleep back and my baby is such a happier baby. He is so well rested and it has made such a difference. If you are unsure about doing this program, do it. You will not regret it!

7 mths later out toddler still looks forward to bedtime

Since completing the Batelle sleep school seven months ago, our two year old son sleeps through the night and regularly lets us know when he's ready for bedtime as well as naps. One of my sisters who has two teenagers, keeps saying about our son, "I've never seen a toddler ask for naps or bedtime." When it's nearing his bedtime, he'll say "red time bedtime" and for naps he usually says, "bed" or "take a rest." It's a miracle for my husband and I to have the schedule and routine around sleep we so wanted for our son. What's amazing to see is how much he loves his crib; how much he enjoys playing in it after naps and in th...

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.
