The 41-year-old celebrity chef posted a photo of his wife holding their four-month-old son on her 42nd birthday.
“Love you and of course the dude that is baby River ?.”
But as well as gathering a lot of likes and happy birthday wishes for his Jools, the image also brought out the infamous Internet trolls with their many concerns over how other people are raising their children.
As soon as the picture was posted, comments over the carrier Jools is seen carting baby River in started coming in.
“Happy birthday. But please never use that carrier again,” one mother wrote.
“It’s not ergonomic for the child and can cause hip dysplasia. Use a carrier that support from knee to knee.”
Another person commented: “Please do your research or ask your physio; narrow-based carriers are not only dangerous but also uncomfortable for baby.
“River doesn’t look particularly cosy in that pic, they should never front face.
“Also hip dysplasia can be undiagnosed in 15% of babies.”
One other person wrote: “No, the baby should never look forward.”
The concern surrounding little River’s legs comes from the need for babies to have their hips supported when carried, and
Hipdysplasia.org states that when babies are carried, the hips should be allowed to “spread apart with the thighs supported and the hips bent”.
Our take on this? Jools Oliver is a mama-of-five. We are pretty sure that when it comes to doing what is best for her children, including little River Rocket, she got it covered.
What do YOU think, mamas?
