Whether they are using a travel cot during a trip away or a youngster's regular crib at home, many parents will have wrestled with the dilemma of whether to let their baby sleep with them.

Celebrity blogger and reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian has tackled the issue in her latest column for People magazine, where she noted it is a particularly controversial topic.

She explained that when her friends first suggested it to her, she thought they were "crazy".

However, after trying it with her little one Mason, she says it is something she has come to enjoy.

"We take all the pillows off the bed to make it as safe as we can. I try to have him take naps in his crib if we're [at] home," she remarked.

Kardashian concluded that she has "mixed feelings" about the issue and invited her readers to offer their thoughts on the dilemma.

Commenting on co-sleeping last year, the UK's Royal College of Midwives urged parents to seek medical advice before allowing their tot to leave his travel cot or crib.
