Re: [ozmidwifery] Co-sleeping and older children

I have noticed a few people say that their kids "happily moved to their own room", and so I was wondering just how this happened. Was it adult or child initiated? Was there anything that you did to make sure that they were comfortable/secure etc? Any tips, advice or stories would be
