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 leans into the crook of her arm.
However, trolls were quick to criticize the posture, suggesting Hodges was not properly supporting her baby’s neck.
“Can you properly hold your baby’s head and stop abusing her please? It’s literally so disturbing,” one follower wrote.
‘It’s wild. It’s almost like she had a baby by posting it on social media. “It’s also strange that she wanted to take a photo with alcohol in her hand while holding her baby,” another added.

Hodges came under further criticism, with one person writing: “When your glass of wine is more important than your child’s neck.” I’m sick of seeing this damn kid falling for his life.
‘This breaks my heart. That poor baby must have neck pain constantly,’ another user wrote.
‘Why do you love multitasking with a baby in your hand? It’s so annoying!’ one person added, while another wrote, “Why would I post this lmao?”
Aside from followers who pointed out problems with the photo, many showed their love for the sweet mother-daughter image.
According to Parents.com, babies stop needing as much neck support around four months, although it 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, son of Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett.
