Overview
Batelle was co-founded in 2021 by Damian Kimmelman and a sleep coach known as Miss Megan. It runs as a remote coaching program: a Schedule Creator builds a personalized routine, an app and lessons teach a step-by-step settling method, and coaches support parents by live chat through the transition.
The company describes its approach as responsive and aims to avoid cry-it-out, though method details are proprietary. Families value the real-time support. It's expensive (one review cites about $1,500), reviews are mixed, and Trustpilot has flagged the company for misusing reviews.
