Kourtney Kardashian Embraces Attachment Parenting with Baby Rocky in Heartwarming New Photos

Kourtney Kardashian shares tender moments with 19-month-old Rocky Thirteen, highlighting her commitment to attachment parenting and quality bonding time.

Kourtney Kardashian is fully embracing the joys of motherhood—one cuddle at a time. In newly shared photos on Friday, June 13, the 46-year-old mother of four offered fans a glimpse into her intimate, hands-on parenting style with her youngest son, 19-month-old Rocky Thirteen. The Lemme co-founder captioned her heartfelt Instagram post with the words, “true love will always bring you back home to your own soul 🖤,” perfectly capturing the essence of the emotional connection between mother and child.

In the carousel of photos, Rocky is seen sitting calmly on Kourtney’s lap in the cover image, looking away from the camera while gently cradled by his mother. Another photo captures a tender moment as the duo strolls down a hallway, with the toddler walking ahead in a black jersey with the number “13” on the back and gray bottoms. Kourtney’s extended hand hovers near his side, offering subtle support as he toddles forward independently.

The final photo in the post features a serene arrangement of flower vases under a painting of a baby playing drums—perhaps a nod to Rocky’s famous father, drummer Travis Barker. The images are believed to have been taken at WWE’s Money in the Bank event, held on June 7 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The family was photographed attending the event, where Rocky once again sat comfortably on his mom’s lap as the cameras and announcers acknowledged them.

Kourtney, who welcomed Rocky in November 2023 with husband Travis Barker, has been candid about her attachment parenting approach. In a May 2024 Instagram Q&A, she responded to a fellow mother asking for tips on a baby who only naps while being held. “Enjoy every second! We do the same,” she wrote. “He’s never been in his crib. It’s my favorite thing in the world.”

One year later, during a May 2025 appearance on her sister Khloé Kardashian’s Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, Kourtney reflected again on her parenting philosophy. “We’re just kind of go with the flow,” she said, noting the difference between her more flexible style and Khloé’s structured routine with daughter True and son Tatum.

Kourtney went on to describe her daily reality with Rocky: “With the attachment style parenting, I hold him for his naps,” she told Khloé, even revealing that she once held him for five straight hours. “I’ll sit in my little chair, usually in the room, and then I still have my little breastfeeding pillow, and he’ll kind of lay on there with my arms under. And then I have a little radiation blanket that I put over to protect from EMFs.”

As a mother of four—Mason, Penelope, and Reign from her previous relationship with Scott Disick, and now Rocky with Barker—Kourtney’s commitment to being fully present for each of her children remains a hallmark of her parenting style. Travis, 49, is also father to Landon and Alabama, and stepfather to Atiana, from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler.

From intimate Instagram posts to open podcast reflections, Kourtney Kardashian continues to share a vulnerable, honest view of motherhood—where holding on a little tighter means everything.
