To say it is life changing is not an exaggeration…
We were on the fence about sleep school, but I am SO glad we pulled the trigger. To say that is has been life changing is NOT an exaggeration. Our daughter (now 3.5 years) has had sleeping challenges since she was about 18 months old. The worst part was the split nights, where she would be wide awake for 1-2 hours in the middle of the night (her favorite wake time hours were 2-4am), and this would happen 3-4x per week. My husband and I were getting destroyed trying to get her back to sleep, or lay with her in her room until she fell back to sleep. We had tried everything - taking cara babies, a professional sleep consultant - so we were understandably skeptical that Batelle would solve our problems. Our issues with our daughters sleep intensified after a number of changes - we had a second kid, moved across the country, and started her in a new school. Suddenly it’s wasn’t just the midnight wakings, but she also required us to lay with her for 30-60 minutes to get her to fall asleep at the beginning of the night. Something had to give so we called in Batelle, and boy I’m glad we did. We loved not using a “cry it out” method, especially given our daughter was older. We were heartened by Batelle’s money back guarantee, and the reassurance of ongoing support as needed till she’s 6. It took a little longer than the 2 weeks to fully get our daughter to adjust, but Batelle was gracious and stood by our side for a couple more days while she got adjusted. It’s been four months since we completed the program, and the changes have stuck. Our daughter sleeps like a dream, and we do too. It’s certainly pricey, but in retrospect we value the change to our daily life so much more. We are so thankful for Batelle 🙏
