Additionally, Kourtney said that Travis "loves it too."

This isn't the first time Kourt has spoken about co-sleeping.

Previously, Kourt discussed how her parenting style differed from her mom's and sister Kim's.

During a November 2, 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney and her younger sister, Kim Kardashian, discussed their differing approaches to parenting.

“I find, with my kids, that coming from a more loving approach works best,” Kourtney said.

Meanwhile, Kim said of her parenting, “I feel that way, but with a little bit of tough love in there too and a little bit of frazzled, ‘S—, what the f— is going on? Get the f— over here’ energy also.”

Kourtney also said she lets her kids skip school if they're having a 'hard' day.

Kourtney also spoke about the differences in parenting styles among her siblings in 2021. During a Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion, she told Andy Cohen, "My kids, if they're having a hard day, I'll let them not go to school and have a day with me. I'm just, I'm a little bit more lenient."
