Kristin Cavallari, the actress, lifestyle influencer, and mom of three, has opened up about the challenges of parenthood, particularly in regard to her children’s sleep habits. During a recent episode of her podcast, Let’s Be Honest, Cavallari shared her experiences, including the fact that her two older children, Jaxon and Saylor, still sleep with her every week.
Cavallari, who co-parents with ex-husband Jay Cutler, explained that Jaxon, the middle child, was one of the hardest babies to manage. Despite being born in a relatively easy labor, Jaxon was a challenging baby from the start. He had a fear of missing out, which made it difficult for him to stay asleep, even as a child. He would take only 30-minute naps and would wake up frequently, often at the same time every day. This made for a difficult bedtime routine for Cavallari and her family.
The situation led to a prolonged struggle with sleep training, as Jaxon refused to sleep in his own bed for years. Cavallari revealed that he would come into her room every single night for four years. Eventually, she decided to let Jaxon and Saylor sleep with her once a week, saying that they were given one night to be with her. She explained that the decision was made to help them transition to their own beds while also managing the morning routine.
In the morning, Cavallari has to be extra careful not to wake up the children while getting dressed. This has required her to be quiet and careful in her routine, as she moves around the house without disturbing them. She emphasized how important it is to have the freedom to move about her room and prepare for the day without the risk of waking anyone up.
Cavallari’s candidness about the challenges of motherhood has resonated with many, as they too find themselves in similar situations. Her openness has allowed her to connect with her audience and share some of the struggles of parenting without hesitation. Cavallari’s approach to her children’s sleep habits has been a topic of both admiration and curiosity, as she navigates the balance between personal space and family need.
