A momfluencer has been criticized for the “irresponsible” way she held her baby in a photo she posted on Instagram.
Alex Hodges shared the photo of her cradling her three-month-old daughter Tate while holding a glass of wine.
The mother can be seen smiling at the camera as Tate lies back in the crook of her arm.
However, trolls were quick to criticize the pose, suggesting that Hodges was not properly supporting her baby’s neck.
“Can you properly support your baby’s head and stop abusing her, it’s literally so upsetting,” one follower wrote.
‘It’s wild. It’s almost like she had a baby to post on social media. It’s also weird that she wants to take a photo with alcohol in her hand while holding her baby,” another added.

Hodges received more criticism, with one person writing: “When your wine glass is more important than your child’s neck. I’m tired of seeing this damn kid flop for his life.”
‘This breaks my heart. That poor baby must have a sore neck all the time,” another user wrote.
‘Why do they like to multitask with a baby in hand? It’s so annoying!’ one person added, while another wrote, “Why would you post this lmao.”
In addition to followers pointing out problems with the photo, many showed their love for the sweet image of the mother and daughter.
According to Parents.com, babies no longer need as much neck support around four months of age, but this can vary from baby to baby.
Hodges shares Tate with her boyfriend Harrison Fugman, the CEO of The Naked Market.
The couple reunited last year following Hodges’ divorce from Graham Bennett, the son of Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett.
