Our lives are profoundly different…
Our lives are profoundly different after two weeks with the help of Batelle. My wife and I are both physicians and we have tried so many paths to help our 15 month old daughter sleep; nothing has worked. Until Batelle, we were waking every 30-90 minutes for evening nursing or calming. Our daughter would also wake most nights from 1-3am, crying, frantic and remain awake for up to two hours. We resorted to bed-sharing because that was the way we were able to maximize our sleep, which still amounted to only 4-5hrs per night. Needless to say, we were desperate. I’ll also add that we’ve read several books, consulted with midwifes and lactation consultants on the subject of sleep. Never did I imagine sleep would be such a challenge, for so long. I wasn’t sure any program would work for her, I thought she would just have to grow out of her sleep problems. Within the first few days of Batelle she was sleeping through the night, in her own room. By day 10, she was falling asleep without us in the room and sleeping 11 hours. After a month we transitioned her naps to her own room as well and she is now napping 2.5hrs daily. Her sleep now remains uninterrupted. She is a different child, far more calm, with more sustained energy. She is so much happier now and is developing faster. We are immensely grateful for Batelle. At no point in the program did we feel that we were ignoring her or being harsh. She was cared for at all times. This program is very gentle. Highly recommend!
