“I would put him to bed in his room and then he would come in my room. Eventually, He stopped and he was like, ‘I’m done with you. I sleep in my own room.'”
Right now, Kourtney and her husband, Travis Barker are more than happy to have Rocky in their bed as it suits everybody’s sleep needs. “I’m on the craziest hours right now because of our whole summer of touring,” she said of supporting the Blink-182 rocker. “But I think one thing too is that we sleep with our baby.”

But Kourtney quipped: “She doesn’t have to worry about it, because it’s not her baby and she’s done having kids.”
Kourtney has previously said that she approaches parenting using the attachment style. This style dictates that the parents and the infants should maintain a strong level of closeness – both in terms of emotional responsiveness and physical touch. This could include responding to your baby’s every cry and wearing your baby in a sling, through to co-bathing or breastfeeding on demand.
