Like many of us, Kourtney Kardashian had parenting ideas that changed as soon as her baby boy arrived. Even though she thought the idea was crazy pre-baby, Mason shares the family bed with Scott and Kourtney and she's blogging about how much she loves the bonding time with her 6-month-old.
Co-sleeping can be controversial, but it looks like Kourtney is practicing safe co-sleeping by removing all of the pillows from the bed to avoid suffocation. Still, she's hearing mixed reviews from friends and wonders if she's setting herself up for a lifetime of the baby in the bed.
We also went back and forth on the idea, but ultimately decided against co-sleeping every single night. It's a very personal choice, and as long as you're taking precautions (not drinking heavily or using drugs, removing any items from the bed that could cause suffocation), it can be a wonderful thing to share with your babies.
Still, some parents want to take back their bed and their privacy (this was a big part of our decision), while others think the risks are just too great to even try co-sleeping.
It's nice to see a celebrity talking about co-sleeping and how she weighs these parenting decisions in a public forum. It might make moms stop and consider something they wouldn't have before, while still feeling it's perfectly acceptable to question any preconceived notions.
Do you co-sleep?

I co-sleep with my son. His twin sister sleeps in her crib. I know! I know! But P enjoys the crib better and sleeps better that way.
Co-sleep? Absolutely.
Only when they wake up and crawl in our bed.
I do. But now my son is 4 and I want him out!!
we did with our oldest but by 6 months i kick her out, yes me! lol, between her and my husband they would kick me out of bed! so i couldn't take it anymore and send her to her crib. i slept happily ever since ;-)
we co slept for 8 months then he got comfortable in the crib.
We did not with our daughter. She likes her own space, even as a baby. We did with our son. When he turned 3, he got a big kid bed and easily transitioned.
I did a lil bit but not much.
We bed share with my youngest (3 months) when he won't sleep in his crib. Otherwise, I co-sleep (have him sleep in the same room as me). We bed shared with our oldest until he was about 4 months. Both kids always nap in their crib though which I found helps with transition out of our bed.
We co-slept with both my kids till they were about 6 months.. then we moved them to their crib (in our room) where they would spend half the night, and the rest of it in bed with us. At almost a year we moved them to their own room.
I'm a big fan of co-sleeping and advice any parent to do it as long as they take the proper precautions... no drugs/medication, alcohol, or pillows. I slept much better knowing my babies were a hug away... and I breastfed on demand even while I was sleeping... so we all slept better. :)
