Kim Kardashian: Why She’s Staying Indoors With North West

Kim Kardashian Staying Home With Baby North West — Armenian Tradition

Kim, 32, is reportedly following the Armenian tradition of staying at home for 40 days after the birth of a newborn, X17 Online claims.

During those first 40 days, only relatives are allowed to see the baby. According to the same report, Kourtney Kardashian allegedly followed this tradition with her children, Mason and Penelope.

Not only is the practice done for religious purposes, but it’s allegedly also known to have health benefits for the baby. If the baby — in this case, Nori — stays indoors for 40 days, she’s not exposed to bacteria outside of the house.

“Kim sleeps whenever North sleeps. She’s tired of course, but also just completely in love,” the source adds.
