Kourtney Kardashian Co-Sleeps With Mason
Kourtney Kardashian is a family bed kind of gal. She originally thought the idea of an infant sleeping in bed with their parents was “crazy,” but she’s since revised her stance. Kardashian says she became interested in the concept of co-sleeping after reading about it. Have I mentioned I’d rather co-sleep with Freddy Kruger than my twins? Regardless, here’s what she says on the topic:
When I was pregnant, a few of my friends told me that their babies slept in bed with them. I remember thinking how crazy that was. Then I started reading up on it and decided it was something I actually wanted to try.
I know that having Mason sleep in my bed might be a controversial topic. But I have to be honest: I just love that time. I especially love how when you sleep with your baby, you breathe together on the same pattern. I’ve been able to bond with Mason so much more. Even if I’ve had a busy day, I always look forward to every night and us spending time together when we sleep.
Mason still sleeps in the bed right now. We take all the pillows off the bed to make it as safe as we can. I try to have him take naps in his crib if we’re home. When we’re on the go, he naps in his car seat and he loves that.
I really have mixed feelings about the whole topic. Some people say co-sleeping for the first two years is good, but now people are telling me the longer he sleeps in the bed with us, the harder it will be to get him to sleep on his own down the line. Of course, ultimately I want what is best for Mason, so I’m really battling with it right now.
I think it’s a personal choice and whatever works for the family is best. I can, however, without a doubt say that my twins sleeping in their cribs at nap time and bedtime is the best for our family — and for them. For us, a bedtime of 7:30 pm for the girls is what works for their optimal daytime demeanor, and I can’t imagine going to bed at that hour with work and chores still left to do. What do you think of co-sleeping — does it work best for your family?

Sabrina commented on Jul 01 10 at 2:05 pmCo-sleeping worked great for the first few months for us until our daughter needed a scheduled time to go to bed (8pm) and until she started getting big enough to kick us in the head during the night. By the time she was about 9 months old, nobody was getting any sleep at all and everyone was cranky. That is when we decided she needed to sleep in her own bed and it was an ordeal getting her into her crib but now sh refuses to sleep in our bed and does not leave her room or bed until her door is opened in the morning! I think it is definitely a family choice and I think if I had two at a time I would not have done the co-sleeping either… However, it did work the first time for us and I think I will be repeating this method the second time around too!
