So supportive and centers trust 🙏🏽
Sleep had been very difficult for us and after trying so many different things, we decided to go with Batelle. Our baby almost 7 months transitioned so well. It was really really hard the first few nights, but I felt so supported with the 24-hour support and we eased into it all, centering connection. We’ve been working with the ongoing support sleep coach on and off as we big changes comes up and I feel so grateful to be able to reach out when we need. River now sleep 12-13 hours over night and 1.5-2 hours for her day time nap. It’s also helped me to just center her sleep as part of our daily routine and trust that when big transitions comes, and sleep gets tough, I really know it will all settle and we’ll find our rhythm again. Also sleep changed many times over the last almost year since doing Batelle. We went from 3-4 naps to 1 nap and night sleep went from 9-10 hours to 12-13 hours. I also kept one night nurse for a long time until I was ready to wean night feeds. Again we called in for support and while that was so tough to wean night nursing, I felt really supported. There have been some really tough moments (baby got COVID combined with travel and sleep went out the door for what felt like a month) but having the support of our one one one calls just helped ease my worry and settled back into the trust that things would find rhythm again. The focus on balancing your own nervous system as a parent is just also so helpful for all other things parenting. Now our baby is almost 19 months old and our routine doesn’t so much like it when we started, so for any parents that feel overwhelmed by needing to do it just right, I promise there is so much flexibility once baby trusts that sleep is safe place. So appreciative of the support. 🙏🏽
