AceShowbiz - Kourtney Kardashian and husband Travis Barker welcomed their baby boy, Rocky Thirteen, in November 2023. The reality star recently took to Instagram to discuss her parenting joys and challenges during a Q&A session. Responding to a new mother's query about a baby who only naps when held, Kardashian revealed that Rocky has never slept in his crib.
"Enjoy every second! We do the same. He's never been in his crib. It's my favorite thing in the world," Kourtney shared, emphasizing the importance of savoring contact naps. A photo accompanying the post displayed Rocky's crib adorned with stuffed animals but notably absent of the baby.
Kourtney has been open about her preference for co-sleeping, a practice she also embraced with her older children, Mason, 14; Penelope, 11; and Reign, 9, whom she shares with ex Scott Disick. "As a working mom, if I didn't have much time with my babies during the day, at least I knew we'd have our nights together," she explained in a previous blog post.
However, Kourtney acknowledged the unique challenges she faced over the years, including difficulty retaining nannies, as revealed in various episodes of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Despite these hurdles, she remains steadfast in her hands-on approach to mothering.
In the same Q&A session, Kourtney addressed her difficult journey with in vitro fertilization (IVF). One fan shared their heartbreak over six failed IVF attempts and asked how Kourtney kept her spirits high through similar struggles. Kardashian reflected on her own path, recounting, "I stopped after a year of trying (five failed IVF cycles, three retrievals) my body relaxed and I believed in God's plan for my life."
She offered encouragement through her faith and optimism, stating, "Lots of prayers for whatever was meant to be for us. Also, lots of optimizing my health. I know how hard it is to feel like you're not trying, but believing in God's plan and saying your prayers is so powerful."
Kardashian later clarified that her pregnancy with Rocky occurred naturally, one year after ceasing IVF treatments, on Valentine's Day, underscoring what she calls a divine blessing.
Kourtney Kardashian's reflections on co-sleeping and her candid discussion on her fertility journey offer a heartfelt insight into her resilience as a mother. Her openness not only provides solace to other parents but also reinforces the importance of cherishing every moment and having faith during challenging times.
