Kourtney recently sparked rumours she’s pregnant with baby number five

KOURTNEY Kardashian has defended co-sleeping with her children and revealed Penelope, 12, only stopped sharing her bed a year ago.

During an appearance on the Him & Her podcast, the 45-year-old said it feels “natural and instinctual” to have her kids in bed with her.

Kourtney also shares Mason, 14, and nine-year-old Reign with ex Scott Disick and 13-month-old Rocky Thirteen with husband Travis Barker.

And she confessed Mason slept with her until he was seven.

The Kardashians star said: “I would put him to bed in his room and then he would come in my room.

“Eventually he stopped and he was like, ‘I’m done with you. I sleep in my own room’.”

Kourtney continued: “My daughter slept with me pretty much until she was 11.”

Suggesting she hopes to continue co-sleeping with her youngest, Kourtney added: “I’m on the craziest hours right now because of our whole summer of touring, but I think one thing too is that we sleep with our baby.

“As a mother, I like to do what feels natural and instinctual to me.

“And that’s for me what it is. Of course, I also read all the benefits and hear all the benefits. And I mean, it’s something that mammals have been doing since time existed.”

Last month Kourtney got fans excited as they speculated she is pregnant with baby number five.

She took to Instagram to share some snaps of her looking stunning in only a white robe.

Kourtney also kept the robe slightly open to show off her toned legs but hid the rest of her figure.

She held her hands by her stomach, which had fans talking in the comment section.

“Omg she is pregnant again!” one said.

A second asked, “I wonder if she’s pregnant again. She looks so stunning.”
