Batelle saved us
Batelle saved us. I was sleeping 45-min stretches up all night with our 5 month old and I wasn’t a human anymore. We needed help. But it was critically important to me to avoid cry-it-out. So my husband did tons of research and found the program. Everyone was so amazing, gentle, kind, and helpful. The Ring camera was CLUTCH. And it worked. Like a magic trick, if my daughter wakes at night now, my husband sings a mantra over the monitor and she goes back to sleep as if the sound of his voice is an instant baby sleeping pill. It took lots of slow, gentle practice and was a gradual process (intentionally) to make her feel very safe and comfortable in her crib. She knew then and still knows that if she calls for us we will respond. And yet she chooses sleep herself. Literal lifesavers. It’s so amazing how international the Batelle team is, but that part also makes me sad because I’ll probably never get to meet these amazing people in person, and I really want to hug them all. They will be a huge part of my baby’s childhood story forever. Eternally grateful.
