Every parents has their own routine when it comes to raising their child.

From strict bedtimes and screen time limits, all the way through to allocated 'sweetie days' and chore charts - it's clear everyone does the job differently.

And that's been exactly the case for mum-of-four Kourtney Kardashian, who has been fiercely defended after revealing just how long she co-slept with her daughter Penelope for.

Now, the reality TV star shares three children with her ex Scott Disick; Penelope, 12, Mason, 14, and Reign, nine.

She also shares one son, Rocky Thirteen, with her husband Travis Barker, who they welcomed to the world back in November 2023.

One routine the Poosh founder has stuck to when raising all four children, however, is co-sleeping.

Opening up about the reason behind it on Dear Media's The Skinny Confidential podcast, Kourtney said: "I'm on the craziest hours right now because of our whole summer of touring, but I think one thing too is that we sleep with our baby."

She explained that, as a mother, she likes to do what 'feels natural and instinctual' to her, adding: "And that's for me what it is.

"And of course, I also read all the benefits and hear all the benefits. And I mean, it's something that mammals have been doing for since time existed."

The Kardashians star also revealed she doesn't put in restrictions when it comes to co-sleeping with her children, continuing: "I think every person's different and every child is different."

Speaking of Mason, Kourt shared: "My oldest son slept with me till he was 7 and just naturally wanted to sleep.

"I mean also part of it [is] like at a certain time I would put him to bed in his room and then he would come to my room."

She then revealed that her eldest child, Penelope, co-slept with her for four years longer than her brother.

"That's what my daughter does," Kourtney carried on. "She comes in. And then at 7 he [Mason] just 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 till she was 11."

She also revealed on the podcast that Trav 'loves it too', adding: "So we get aligned."

While some critics slammed Kourtney's parenting choices, a whole bunch of her fans rushed in to defend her decision.

One Instagram user assured: "This is very common and normal."

"I don’t want my kids to ever stop sleeping with me," a second revealed, while a third echoed: "Nothing wrong with that. Connection with our children is precious."

And a final fan added: "I will go home right now and crawl into my parent’s bed and go to sleep. I’m 40."
