Kristin Cavallari Faces Backlash After Revealing Her Son, 11, and Daughter, 9, Still Sleep With Her

Kristin Cavallari is on the receiving end of criticism after revealing that her children, 11-year-old son Jaxon and 9-year-old daughter Saylor, co-sleep with her.

During Tuesday’s episode of her Let’s Be Honest podcast, the Very Cavallari star, 38, opened up about her unconventional sleeping arrangement, explaining that her youngest two children spend “one night a week” in her bedroom now that the school year has started.

“They were in my bed every other night for a while,” Cavallari admitted, noting that she’s had to scale back the frequency since classes resumed.

Despite enjoying their company, the mother of three — who also shares son Camden, now 13, with ex-husband Jay Cutler — celebrated “finally having time” for herself.

The arrangement isn’t without its challenges. Cavallari describes how difficult it is to wake up earlier and get ready for the day without also waking her snoozing brood.

The Laguna Beach alum explained that the co-sleeping habit began when Jaxon was just a toddler. At age 1, he discovered he could climb out of his crib and join his mother in bed, leading to “every single night for four years” of shared sleeping.

Cavallari admitted she “did and tried everything” to get him to sleep independently, but nothing worked until he eventually moved into a room with his older brother Camden.

“He’s always had FOMO,” Cavallari joked.

The revelation quickly sparked a heated debate on social media. “Ma’am co sleeping isn’t letting them be little,” one Reddit user wrote. “We need to establish boundaries.”

Another wrote, “Getting into the habit of co-sleeping can limit social opportunities for children and make it difficult if not impossible to co-parent if the other parent is not on board with sharing a bed.”

Meanwhile, others supported Cavallari’s parenting decision, with one Reddit user writing: “I don’t care if that’s what she likes to do. I personally don’t like to co-sleep because my children move around too much and I’d never get any solid sleep, and I barely get any as it is right now lol.”
