Kourtney Kardashian recently opened up about her decision to stay home for 40 days after giving birth to her fourth child, Rocky, whom she shares with her husband, Travis Barker.
On a recent episode of The Kardashians, the 45-year-old reality star explained her choice to her younger sisters, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, stating that she planned to remain at home for the first month and a half postpartum. During a conversation with her sisters, Kourtney revealed her intention to stay home for 40 days.
Khloé, surprised, asked, "You're staying home for 40 days and 40 nights?" In a confessional, the Poosh founder elaborated, saying, "In many different cultures, women don't leave the house after having a baby for 40 days to let your body have that time to heal." She added, "I'm really into attachment parenting. I really don't separate from him. I love being at home right now, like my time is dedicated to taking care of my baby and bonding with him."
Khloé then jokingly asked if Kourtney planned to "go to a rave" after the 40 days. Kourtney responded, "No, I just feel like I don't wanna even go anywhere still." Khloé humorously remarked that staying home for that long wasn't unusual for her, saying, "Welcome to my daily life. I haven't had a baby, and I'm still doing the 40 days."

Kourtney and Barker wed in Portofino, Italy, in the summer of 2022 and welcomed their son, Rocky, in November 2023. Earlier this month, Kourtney revealed the medical condition that required emergency fetal surgery during her pregnancy with Rocky. "Baby Rocky had to have fetal surgery for fluid in his lung," she shared on The Kardashians. "It's super rare, and we're lucky that we caught it. Thank you, God, for this successful surgery. I'm honestly just so grateful; I have no words."
Kourtney opened up about her anxiety following the surgery, saying, "I was definitely filled with fear after the surgery and the fluid in his lungs." She found solace in a documentary called *Heal*, which discusses the power of positive thinking. "I started talking to the baby every day, saying my prayers, and after that mindset shift, the fluid was completely gone, and we had not one single problem after."

Kourtney, who shares her older children Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and Reign, nine, with her ex-fiancé Scott Disick, first went public with the surgery last September. She reflected on the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery, noting, "I don't think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear." When the operation took place, Blink-182 postponed their European tour dates so Travis could return home. He cryptically posted pictures of the prayer room at Glasgow Airport on social media.

Since welcoming her baby boy, Kourtney has encouraged other new moms to ignore the pressure to bounce back to their pre-pregnancy bodies. She shared on Instagram, "Dear new mommies, Your body is beautiful at all stages. The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn't realistic. Life is beautiful, you are beautiful." Kourtney and Travis publicly announced her pregnancy in June 2023, during a Blink-182 concert, recreating a moment from the band's music video, "All The Small Things," where a woman holds up a sign that says "Travis I'm Pregnant."
