Hi, I’m Alejandra Maldonado
A Pediatric Gentle Sleep Coach® and mother
I became a mother to a baby boy in 2020. This was just at
the beginning of the pandemic, and because of this, my family couldn’t be with us to give us any support. This is when the journey of being sleep deprived beganfor both my husband and me.
My son wouldn’t sleep unless I was holding, rocking, or nursing him. I expected that as the months passed and my son grew, he would settle better when I put him in his crib. That never happened, and as a result, we were severely sleep deprived. That’s when I really understood the importance of sleep for both babies and their parents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages of children do you work with?
I support families with little ones from newborns up to about six years of age. Whether you’re laying strong sleep foundations with a baby or helping a toddler who’s resisting naps or waking frequently at night, I’ll tailor the plan to your child’s stage, temperament and your family’s rhythm.
What does “gentle sleep coaching” mean in your approach?
Gentle sleep coaching means we honour your child’s emotional and developmental needs, your values as a parent, and your family’s day-to-day life. It’s not rigid, one-size-fits-all or “cry-it-out” heavy. We collaborate on a step-by-step strategy that supports independent sleep while keeping your child feeling safe, secure and connected.
We’re still breastfeeding, room-sharing or co-sleeping — can we still work with you?
Absolutely. Your feeding choices and sleep setup are respected and honoured. We’ll craft a sleep plan that works with your current reality—not force you to abandon what works for you. The aim is better sleep without compromising your family’s values or comfort.
How quickly can we expect to see improvement?
Every child and family is unique. Many families notice smoother bedtimes, deeper naps or fewer night wakings within the first week or two of consistent implementation. I’ll support you steadily, adjusting the plan as your child grows and your family evolves.
What happens if we face disruptions — travel, illness, teething or regression?
Life happens, and your sleep plan is built with flexibility in mind. When travel, illness, developmental leaps or regressions occur, we’ll adapt together rather than allowing you to feel like you’re starting over. You’ll have the tools and support to navigate bumps in the journey and resume smoother sleep rhythms.
Will you judge how we’ve been doing sleep so far or how we parent?
Never. I begin by listening — to your story, your current routine, your child’s temperament and your hopes. You’re already doing your best. My role is to guide and support you from where you are, with empathy and clarity — not to critique.
What does a typical coaching package include?
A coaching package typically includes:
A detailed intake and sleep-history review to understand your child and your family situation.
A personalised written sleep plan tailored to your child’s age, temperament and your goals.
Follow-up support as you implement the plan — so you’re not doing it alone, but moving forward with confidence.
My toddler wakes many times at night or refuses naps — can you help with that too?
Yes, absolutely. Whether your child is waking frequently, resisting bedtime, taking short naps or transitioning rooms, we’ll dive into what’s really happening — sleep associations, environment, routine or transitions — and build a gentle, realistic strategy aligned with your family’s rhythm so everyone can rest better.
Is your method safe, evidence-based and suited to my child’s development?
Yes. I am a certified Pediatric Gentle Sleep Coach® and a parent myself. My approach draws on current sleep science, developmental understanding and responsive parenting practices. Your child’s emotional and physical wellbeing is always the priority, and we aim for lasting, sustainable change—not quick fixes.
How do we get started with Koala Slumber Solutions?
The first step is a complimentary 15-minute call where we’ll talk about what’s going on now, your goals and whether working together feels like the right fit. If yes, we’ll choose the right package for your situation, complete your intake, craft your personalised sleep plan and begin moving toward calmer nights and brighter mornings for your whole family.
