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!!
