Kourtney just said that Mason has slept with her since he was born. That child should be sleeping in his own bed! He's gonna have some major problems. Having nightmares or being sick I could see making an exception for, but it's not really healthy for him to sleep in her bed every night, is it? Is this making any sense?
"Well that ship has sailed"
as much as i love lil mason he definitely needs to be in his own bed, kourtney is such a damn fool
Kim Kardashian= shameless greed!
That is really weird. She should be sharing a bed with Scott, not her son.

I agree, he should be in his own bed. No wonder why Kourtney and Scott's relationship has been going downhill.
shareI think its totally inappropriate. I can see the once in a while if Mason's having a hard time going to sleep but really every night? Not healthy at all. I am pretty sure she breast fed him well after one and half years of age too. I dont get where she is getting he parenting info from, definitely not her own mother!
shareWell, she is now pregnant w her second child so I guess they got poor Mason out of the bed (I hope!).
shareMany mothers continue breast-feeding till their child is two.
shareI had a debate about this in my psychology class. Some cultures encourage co-sleeping with your child...it probably won't lead to "major problems." Some psychologist even believe it builds a stronger bond between child and parent. When he's ready to sleep alone, he will... if she lets him

She's going to have to in about 7 months. Surely she's not going to sleep with both babies in the bed.

Bingo...in my experience, a child sleeping with the mother every night is rarely about what's best for the child. It's pretty much always about what the mother wants. Just my opinion, but I think it's irresponsible.
shareIt's really not that big a deal for child and mom, Mason is still very young. When the new baby comes along, Mason will be very jealous (normal) when baby 2 comes along. I agree with Rubadubtub and EllieMarie.
shareI don't think Mason sleeping with Kourtney is that big of a deal. My best friend did this with her kids, they are all about 2 years apart. She'd have them sleep in the bed until they were 2. Her kids are happy, healthy, functioning humans.

She was married to a Army guy who was gone all the time, and they separated by the time she was pregnant with #3.

While the kids may be healthy - its not healthy for a relationship. And clearly your friend was able to do this because her husband was in the army. Kourtney's baby's father is right there. So that's a probem.
I think that kids should be out of their parents bed no later than a year old. Kids need to learn how to soothe themselves and fall asleep, and it becomes much harder for them to learn that, when they are in bed with their parents, basically being soothed by their parents presence in the bed. When my daughter was younger, she is three now, I wanted to get her out of the bed and have her sleep on her own, but my boyfriend would always put her in the bed, starting from when she was a new born. At this point, she is so used to being in bed with us, that she doesn't know how to self soothe and get to sleep on her own. I'm definitely at the point where I want to ween her off of sharing the bed with us.

Bed sharing is very common these days. My almost two year old sleeps in bed with us still and has since she was about three months and we discovered everyone sleeps better this way, especially because I'm breast-feeding. I have no problems with this.
shareWhat about sex? You can't do that with the kid in the bed...at least I hope not.
You're still breastfeeding a 2 year old?

Yup! I applaud Kourtney fot taking a more natural approach to parenting. It's not easy with a fast-paced lifestyle, but it's worth it.
shareNo, we don't do it with her in bed but, trust me, our sex life is quite healthy and active. You don't have to have sex in a bed, you know. And yes, I am still breast-feeding a two-year old. I know, shocking. She eats food mostly, of course, but she still does it for comfort every so often throughout the day and during the night. It's quite natural, most breastfeeding moms breastfeed go that long. You let the child decide when it's time to be done.
shareMy nephew is 4 years old & still sleeps with his mom in the same bed! I watch him overnights when she works so I have to sleep with him bc hes not used to being alone. I have my own baby who is a month old & even i dont sleep with him lol. I try to teach my nephew but he just cries & thinks im being cruel to him.
You're gonna wish you had never met me
We've had her sleep in her own bed before and she does just fine. I've taught my daughter that when she cries or needs comfort, I'll be right there next to her or I'll come for her. I don't believe in crying out. My daughter now knows that she can sleep alone and be safe because we'll be here for her if shes scared or needs something. This has made her actually the opposite of what most people think: independent and self-sufficient. She's confident because I let her know that mommy is always here. Letting a child cry when they need you IS cruel and doesn't teach them anything other than they don't matter. When a baby is just allowed to cry, when they're hungry and scared just makes them even more scared and sad. They figure it out eventually, that mom won't come for them, and just learn to go back to sleep, but not without detriment to their confidence and comfort. I preder another and it works for me and my family. People can judge me, I don't care....
shareI don't find too many men who enjoy the co-sleeping; they merely tolerate it.
Kids taught to sleep alone from the jump won't have anything to adjust to and will gain independence.
The other countries that advocate it don't exactly live like the US, do they?
Define "opinion" then get back to me.
