Kardashian fans divided after Kourtney reveals she still co-sleeps with daughter

Kardashian fans are split after Kourtney revealed her co-sleeping habits with her children, which some find “a little weird”.

Kourtney Kardashian has left fans divided after revealing she still co-sleeps with her daughter Penelope, 10.

The Kardashians star, 43, revealed Penelope has “pretty much” been sleeping in her bed “every day since she was born”, the US Sun reports.

Kourtney made the admission while appearing on Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast on Tuesday.

“She’s slept with me every day since she was born and pretty much still does,” Kourtney said.

“Unless she has a friend sleep over or unless she leaves me to go sleep at Travis’ (husband Travis Barker) or Aunty Coco’s (Khloe Kardashian) or Aunty Kiki’s (Kim Kardashian). But besides that, we are so close.”

Amanda praised Kourtney for being a “very all in” mother who “doesn’t follow any of the rules that (she’s) supposed to”.

Kourtney Kardashian revealed she still co-sleeps with her daughter Penelope, 10.

Kourtney agreed and stressed how similar she is to her “mini-me” Penelope.

“I can’t even explain it, she is my girl that I do not worry about,” the reality star said.

“Simon (Huck, Kourtney’s friend) always says she’s a mini-me, to her core.

“But we’ve spent so much time together and spend so much time together. And I just don’t worry about her.”

Listeners aired their differing opinions on Kourtney’s parenting on Reddit.

One wrote: “I’ll be honest I think this is a little weird. Like fine when the child is like 5, but 10???”

Another posted: “These poor kids have no privacy. Imagine being ten years old and this is blasted to the whole world including all your friends to see. Any 10-year-old I know would be mortified.”

Penelope has "pretty much" been sleeping in her bed "every day since she was born".

Others praised Kourtney for talking openly about their sleeping habits.

A fan wrote: “There’s nothing wrong with P sleeping in her mamas bed. Kids need that extra love and cuddling and security. Especially preteens in today’s world. She wont be sleeping in there forever.”

Yet another user commented: “I hate that co-sleeping with your child is so vilified in America. Co-sleeping with your kids is extremely natural and super common in most places of the world.

“I hate that people make others feel shamed for their decision to co-sleep, it’s almost made out to be a ‘dirty secret’ for parents. Good on Kourtney for talking so openly on the subject!”

She has three children with Scott Disick.

Kourtney has three kids with her ex Scott Disick – Mason, 12, Penelope and Reign, seven.

This isn’t the first time Kourtney has opened up about her children’s sleeping habits.

In 2018, she said she had a “different experience” of co-sleeping with each of her kids.

In a blog post on her website Poosh, the Hulu star noted that she read The Attachment Parenting Book by Dr William Sears while she was pregnant with Penelope.

The book has lessened the stigma around parents and kids sleeping in the same bed.

Kourtney also said she did “responsible joint sleeping” with her eldest child, Mason.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker were married in Portofino, Italy.

“I remember going through times of trying to get him to sleep in his own bed. Many nights he would start off in his room and make his way into ours,” she wrote.

“I eventually embraced a family bed and followed his lead for when he was ready to sleep in his room. When he was seven, he started sleeping in his room on his own.”

Meanwhile, Kourtney recently faced backlash over her parenting of son Mason.

She revealed she has a strict policy concerning junk food and diets for her children and has banned Mason from eating fries.

The Poosh founder recalled a time when her eldest child wanted fries from McDonald’s but she refused.

Kourtney was recently slammed for banning her son Mason, 12, from eating fries.

Following the backlash, Kourtney explained on Instagram: “ … We love and eat lots of French fries, but we do try to avoid fast food French fries!”

Kourtney then proceeded to list the ingredients in French fries, which include “potatoes, vegetable oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, and natural beef flavour”.
