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

👉 Read here about the growing movement of parents choosing a responsive approach to their child’s sleep.

The Batelle method is a responsive process that supports your child’s ability to sleep more independently. 

Not “forced” into compliance as a result of nights of disengaging.

Not “trained” to stop calling out to you when they need you.

Not “tricked” by putting them down drowsy enough and disappearing.

But really and truly able to sleep without you there with them. If you are thinking, “there is no way, there is no world, where my child ever learns how to fall asleep independently or link their sleep cycles (sleep through the night) independently”…

Welcome, you’re come to the right place.

Cry-it-out can work for a lot of families, and if it works for you, that’s great! However, it often doesn’t work, especially in the long-term.

However, the real reason we don’t promote cry-it-out is that we think it misses a unique and impactful opportunity to reinforce a secure attachment between you and your child. We believe that sleep is the perfect opportunity to show your child that you will always show up for them and respond to their needs, even in the tough times. 

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.

Batelle Premium has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Not if you view ‘sleep training’ as a way to teach a child to feel more comfortable and safe in their sleep space. No child is too old for that. Plus, we’ve worked with children all the way up to 10 years old before, so don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.

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 A 93% success rate having 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 our sleep experts, which is ample time to go on this journey with your child and adapt the program to your family’s needs. However, we also have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee if you feel that the program is not for you.

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. 

If you find Batelle Mini is not for you, we offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. 

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.

The toddler 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 our team, 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.

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 (our 93% success rate includes them!). Batelle is fundamentally different. It’s not 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 and trusting you’ll respond if they need you. 

Absolutely. We’ll even help you to navigate daycare so as not to be too disruptive. When you sign up, you’ll be asked about daycare and we’ll adapt your plan accordingly.
