Why Kourtney Kardashian Has No Cutoff Age for Co-Sleeping With Her Kids
Try keeping up with Kourtney Kardashian’s sleep habit.
The Kardashians star—who welcomed son Rocky Thirteen Barker with husband Travis Barker in November 2023—opened up about her decision to co-sleep her kids rather than putting them in a crib of their own.
“As a mother, I like to do what feels natural and instinctual to me,” she said on the Sept. 16 episode of the The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast. “And that's, for me, what it is. And of course, I also read all the benefits and hear all the benefits. It's something that mammals have been doing since time existed.”
In fact, the 45-year-old —who also shares kids Mason Disick, 14, Penelope Disick, 12, and Reign Disick, 9, with ex Scott Disick—says her views come from personal experience.
“My oldest son slept with me ‘til he was seven,” she added. “At a certain time I would put him to bed in his room and then he would come in my room. And then at seven, he just he stopped and he was like, ‘I'm done with you, I sleep in my own room.’ And then my daughter slept with me pretty much ‘til she was 11.”
“I will say that both parents being aligned on that is really important,” the reality star added. “My husband loves it too.”
But what about when the couple—who aren’t shy about their sex-positive behavior—want a little time to themselves? Kourtney joked, “We figure it out.”
Kourtney has been open about her attachment parenting style in the past, including her decision to spend the first 40 days after Rocky’s birth at home with her baby boy.
“In many different cultures, women don't leave the house after having a baby for 40 days to let your body have that time to heal," she said in the June 27 episode of The Kardashians. "And beyond that, I'm really into attachment parenting. I really don't separate from him."
