Kourtney Kardashian has revealed that her two children, Mason, 4, and Penelope, 19 months, still share her bed.

And the revelation comes not long after longtime boyfriend Scott Disick admitted the couple sleep in separate bedrooms.

The mum-of-two spoke up to defend her close relationship with her two bubbas after being asked what her views were on attachment parenting - and, as it turns out, she's a big fan of the idea.

Speaking with RedBook, the 34-year-old mother opened up about her parenting techniques, saying: “Both Mason and Penelope still sleep in my bed. It’s what came naturally to me; I didn’t plan it.

“When I had Mason, I just felt really attached to him, and wanted to bring him everywhere. He ended up sleeping with me, and I breast-fed for 14 months.”

She added that, although both children begin the night in their own beds,they end up coming to hers for snuggles “sometime within minutes”.

But, as you might imagine, Scott - who is father to both Penelope and Mason - isn't all that impressed with the family's sleeping arrangements.

Kourteney admitted: “It’s a challenge, and something we talk about constantly.

“Mostly there are times each night when the kids are in their own rooms, and sometimes it even lasts all night. Every night is different.”

Are you a fan of attachment parenting? Or do you, like Katie Hopkins, think the technique is a "load of new age nonsense" and "breeding a nation of brats"?
