Khloe Kardashian has only been a mom for three months, but she has once again become a target for mommy-shamming.
The 34-year-old reality star took to Instagram on Thursday to post a throwback photo of baby daughter, True, explaining that the snapshot was taken ‘about two months ago,’ when the little girl was just a month old.
The seemingly innocent picture shows the infant sound asleep in her mom’s arms, with her head slumped over, resting on her hand; however, many took to the comment section to slam Khloe for not properly supporting her daughter’s neck.
Throwback: Khloe Kardashian, 34, took to Instagram on Thursday to post a photo of her infant daughter, True, sound asleep in her arms, with her head slumped over
Under fire: Many critics took to the comments section of the post to slam Khloe for not holding True in a way that properly supports her head and neck
Backlash: One woman scolded Khloe for not holding True’s ‘head upright,’ noting that she is ‘not an accessory’
‘Hello did anyone ever tell you to support the babies head you’re about to break her neck [sic],’ a woman named Sofia wrote, while someone else commented: ‘Damn girl hold that baby’s head!’
‘Omg pick that babies [sic] head up!’ someone else added, prompting fitness blogger Sia Cooper (@diaryofafitmommyofficial) to jump in and stick up for Khloe.
‘The baby is fine,’ she replied. Their necks are very malleable. How do you think she fit in the womb?’
Sia, who is no stranger to abuse on social media, recently revealed that she has been called ‘fat, ugly, annoying, stupid, and a bad mom’ for liking photos like Khloe’s and commenting on them.
Hard to handle: The reality star has faced a great deal of mommy-shamming since she welcomed True three months ago
Harsh: Some accused Khloe of treating her daughter like a prop for photos
Real empathy? Others insisted that they felt bad for True because of her neck in that photo
Helping hand: Fitness blogger Sia Cooper (@diaryofafitmommyofficial) jumped in and stuck up for Khloe, insisting ‘the baby is fine’
Getting involved: The blogger’s comment defending Khloe prompted some people to lash out at her
Though some agreed with her and pointed out that True’s head was resting on her mom’s head and thus fully supported, the blogger’s comment defending Khloe prompted some people to lash out at her.
‘Feel sorry for your nickneck kids,’ one person wrote, while another woman hit back: ‘Her being in the womb and being out in the world is totally different!’
The Instagram user went on to insist that the position True was sleeping in must have ‘ached her little neck.’
One person claimed she wasn’t trying to shame Khloe, but she couldn’t resist commenting on the way she was holding her daughter.
‘Your baby is SO precious. And I am definitely not trying to shame you or talk badly of you at all, but you really need to support your babies [sic] head!’
More criticism: Not only did people scold Khloe for the way she was holding True, some insisted she should cut her nails
Question; One person asked who would risk poking their child ‘for such vanity’
Judgement: Someone insinuated that Khloe keeps her nails long because she has a ‘nanny team’ taking care of True
Just saying: According to one mom, she chopped her nails after her son was born
Get over it: There were also plenty of people who stuck up for Khloe and warned her critics to back off
Some even accused Khloe of using her daughter as a prop for photos.
‘Look at that baby’s neck,’ one woman commented. ‘I swear these people just have babies to take pictures of them or use them as an accessory.’
Not only did people scold Khloe for the way she was holding True, some insisted she should cut her nails because her lengthy ‘claws’ could hurt her little girl.
‘Cute!!! but those nails scare me when I see them and baby together,’ one mom wrote. ‘After my son was born, I chopped my nails and been going shot ever since.’
‘Aren’t u afraid to hurt your baby with those long nails,’ someone else asked.
Great debate: The reality star recently came under fire after she got True’s ears pierced
No joke: After being criticized for not breastfeeding full time, Khloe took to Twitter in June to say that ‘mommy shaming is real’
Parents: Khloe and basketball star Tristan Thompson (pictured in March) welcomed their daughter on April 12
‘There is no way you are looking after that baby on your own, changing diapers, etc. with those stupid looking long fingernails,’ another person griped.
‘Who would risk poking and hurting their child for such vanity?’
Like most women in the public eye, Khloe is no stranger to mommy-shamming.
In the three months since she and basketball star Tristan Thompson welcomed their baby girl, Khloe has been criticized for everything from getting her daughter’s ears pierced to not breastfeeding full time.
‘Mommy shaming is real, she tweeted in June.
