Welcome to IQ Baby

Welcome to IQ Baby Two things are clear:

Sleep is vital for early brain development, learning, and memory. Sleep disturbances and sleep deprivation in children can cause an array of problems with their behavior and emotions, as well as both physical and mental development.
And...
Attachment is vital for early brain development.

Studies show lack of good sleep, at any age, as well as leaving an infant to cry for extended periods of time raise cortisol levels leading to possible unwanted affects. This leaves many parents conflicted between attachment and good sleep habits. The great news is you don’t have to sacrifice one to achieve the other! It’s also significant to note that one is just as vital as the other and therefore both are worth striving towards.

Teaching good sleep habits gives your child the best possible start in life!

About IQ Baby

About me

Elissa My name is Elissa Gilbertson and from the time I was very young I have been drawn to children and infants. I love interacting with them and learning how they develop and the way they think.

I am a DONA Postpartum Certified Doula and hold degrees in Psychology and Child Development. For over 15 years I have worked with families and children in a variety of areas including sleep learning, behavior and parent/child communication.

Using my background in Child Development and Psychology, as well as my years as a PCD(DONA) I work to balance attachment and attachment parenting with a baby’s biological need for sleep.

My goal is to help parents maximize parental enjoyment by minimizing stress and miscommunications. I help parents understand their child on his own level while creating a peaceful environment in which to maximize physical, mental and emotional growth.

Testimonials

Hear what IQ Baby clients have to say:

A truly original approach to infant sleep. ~former skeptical father

Elissa took care of my educational and emotional needs which made it possible for me to take care of my daughter’s needs. Thanks, just does not seem like enough. ~S.J.P

Having a very premature baby, who would not sleep and cried all the time, left me at my wits end. I was hesitant to consult with a sleep professional because I thought they would all tell me to cry it out – an approach I was against. I was overjoyed at the approach Elissa took. She had me focus on understanding and meeting MY BABY’S NEEDS rather than training her to meet MY SLEEP NEEDS. Meeting my baby’s needs gave me three priceless gifts; a happy baby who sleeps more and cries much less, confidence in myself as a parent, and sleep! ~Katelyn

Elissa guided us to make changes to our sons' sleep that improved multiple aspects of our lives ten-fold. Her knowledge, sensitivity, and support were key. Her ability to rapidly assess and understand his unique needs and to present useful strategies was remarkable. As a result of her interventions, my son is now an excellent sleeper and a very happy baby. As a mother, I could not be happier. Our family relationships have vastly improved, my work performance and of course our mood and energy have returned. I could not recommend Elissa more. Her services were worth every penny and I would've paid triple that amount for the results. ~Christy

I was blown away by Elissa’s ability to identify seemingly small factors that blocked my child’s ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. One session with her and two check-ups and there was nothing more for her to do! Problem fixed! Had I known it was that easy I would have called her much sooner. ~Jen

Thank you so much for all of your support. My daughter went from waking up every 2 hours to waking up just once the entire night. It was an emotional roller coaster for me, but thanks to your constant support I was able to make it through this. I feel blessed that our paths have crossed; I wish I would have contacted you sooner! Thanks again for always being so positive and caring. We couldn’t have made it without you! ~Carolina

With 5 month old twins and a 3 year old boy I was getting no sleep until IQ BABY came into our life. Not only was I able to wean the twins from their night feed without problems, and get them to sleep through the night, but I was also able to use some of the techniques on my 3 year old. I was not having problems with him, but now he sleeps better at night, and his naps are 10X’s better! I am now a happy, well rested mother of 3 boys and full of energy in the morning! ~Jennifer

Thank you so much! You got my baby sleeping through the night! I can’t believe that in less than 2 weeks my baby went from sleeping on me and waking up every 2 hours, to sleeping in his crib through the night. Thanks to you my baby and I are off to a good start each day by getting a good night’s sleep. ~Julia

You came in and accomplished in one night what someone else could not accomplish in weeks! We are so happy with the support you provide and the good nights of sleep you made possible. I’m so happy that we now have a routine and I can schedule our day without fear of nap disasters! You have no idea the amount of stress you took out of our family’s life. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER! ~Elizabeth
