Kourtney Kardashian says she had “no idea what to do” as a first-time mum at 30

Kourtney Kardashian Barker has opened up about becoming a parent at 30, claiming she felt entirely unprepared when she welcomed her first kid, Mason, with Scott Disick back in 2009.

On the current episode of The Kardashians, the 46-year-old said she didn’t read any parenting manuals at the time and merely relied on instinct. No one gave me instructions. “I didn’t read any books,” she remarked. “I immediately fell into attachment parenting because of my maternal instinct.”

She later became more intentional with the style when expecting her daughter Penelope, adding that she finally read the attachment-parenting book before baby number two.

Kourtney also said she kept working through her first pregnancy because she didn’t realise not working was even an option. “Now I have the choice,” she added. “And I’m grateful I can choose what I connect to.”

The reality star spoke about parenting after hosting a seminar with parenting author Erica Komisar at her $8.5M home in the exclusive Estates at the Oaks.

Kourtney and Scott share Mason, 15; Penelope, 13; and Reign, 10.
