The family bed. It conjures up such warm, cozy images: Your toddler nestled beside you under the covers, her body curving into yours, sleepy breaths in sync, the smell of lavender baby shampoo as you drift off to dream land.
Of course, the reality of co-sleeping can paint a drastically different picture.
Soon-to-be mom-of-three Kourtney Kardashian shared a glimpse into what co-sleeping looks like in her house, posting a photo to Instagram this week that shows her PJ-clad cuties Mason, 5, and Penelope, 2, sharing her bed. In the adorable pic - see it here! - the pregnant reality star's belly rests on an over-sized pillow as her kids lie diagonally across the mattress. Blankets kicked aside, Penelope has a thumb in her mouth and a foot squarely in the face of her big brother.
It may not look like the comfiest sleeping arrangement, but none of them seem to mind. Dad Scott Disick is nowhere to be seen - presumably he's wide awake and behind the lens! Or perhaps he's sleeping in his own bed, seeing as the pair have said they don't often spend nights together.
Which other celebrity families co-sleep? Take a look...
An outspoken advocate of attachment parenting, Kourtney says she loves co-sleeping, even though her family thinks she's "insane." Kim Kardashian recently admitted that she doesn't follow her older sister's AP example, saying, “I am a strict mother. I’m really fun and playful, but I’m really strict on nap time, and sleeping in her own crib. Like Kourtney’s style is where her kids sleep in bed with her, so especially with the third baby coming – they’re going to need a bigger bed or they’re going to need some other rules.”
Co-sleeping definitely isn't for me. I'm one of those people who need a solid sleep in order to function, and just looking at Kourtney's busy bed makes me nervous. But if works for them - and apparently it does - then more power to her. As far as I can tell, following your instincts and finding a solution that fits your family doesn't make you "insane." It makes you a mom.
Do you co-sleep?
