Kourtney Kardashian recently opened up about her decision to co-sleep with her son Mason until he was 7 years old, expressing that it felt “natural and instinctual” for her as a mother. In a candid conversation on “The Skinny Confidential” podcast, Kourtney shared insights into her parenting style, revealing that Mason would often transition from his own room to hers at bedtime until he declared he was ready to sleep solo at the age of 7.
Kourtney, who is known for her role on “The Kardashians,” mentioned, “Every child is unique, and my experience with Mason was just that.” She reflected on how it became a routine, with Mason eventually asserting his independence when he decided he no longer wanted to share a bed.
The mother of four also disclosed that her daughter, Penelope, co-slept with her until she turned 11, demonstrating a pattern of closeness in Kourtney’s parenting choices. This topic arose during her discussion of her current chaotic sleep schedule, which has been impacted by her newest arrival, son Rocky, born in November 2023 with husband Travis Barker.
Kourtney emphasized the importance of following her instincts as a parent, highlighting that mammals have co-slept for ages. While she noted that her own mother, Kris Jenner, has sometimes expressed hesitations about her sleeping arrangements, Kourtney confidently stated that she remains unaffected by the advice, adding humorously, “It’s not her baby, and she’s done having kids.”
Despite any generational differences, Kourtney indicated that her husband, Barker, fully supports their co-sleeping arrangements, affirming that shared parenting perspectives are essential. She described her daily routine, which usually includes aiming for full sleep from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., sometimes coupled with enjoying hot water and lemon or matcha to start her day.
Kourtney’s family dynamics are rich, featuring a blend of seven children, including three she shares with ex-partner Scott Disick. The couple’s on-and-off relationship lasted nearly a decade, concluding in 2015. Today, as Kourtney navigates motherhood alongside Barker, she continues to prioritize what feels natural for her family, reinforcing a nurturing approach to parenting that resonates with many.
