Co-sleeping and a loud sleeper

I just wanted to note that tantrums and not going to bed are not
results of co-sleeping. Neither us nor any of our co-sleeping
friends have had these particular problems.

i don't think it's the co-sleeping, it's the personality.

we co-slept with DS1 until 13 months & he has no problems going to bed
both when he was sleeping with us & since he was in his own room. we
never had the situation that he comes out of his room a million times &
refuses to go to bed. and now at nearly 4, he has a snuggle with daddy,
then he listens to music or reads quietly in his room & then turns out
his light & goes to bed. no issues there!

and i know plenty of kids who have never co-slept and they are up & down
all night. and also ones who do co-sleep!
