Emily Ratajkowski causes stir after posting a series of bikini-clad photos holding baby son

The supermodel is known for her love of itsy bitsy swimwear – but after recently giving birth, her latest snaps have people talking.

New mum Emily Ratajkowski has caused a stir after posting a series of bikini-clad photos while holding her baby son.

The supermodel gave birth to Sylvester on March 8, first sharing photos of her post-baby body a little over a week after welcoming him into the world.

Now on the eve of her 30th birthday, Emily has shared multiple new snaps of her and the three-month-old on holiday sporting matching swimwear.

While Em is wearing a minuscule string bikini in a new print from her swimwear brand, Inamoratawoman – Sylvester has matching trunks in the same blue and orange pattern.

“Bday eve with the dream vacation partner,” she captioned the photos.

In one photo, Sylvester is on Em’s right hip, her arm holding him tightly to her body. In another, she’s pulled him in tightly with both hands, one supporting his bottom as the other cradles his neck.

It didn’t take long for comments to begin pouring in, with some Twitter users declaring the photos “insane”.

“How does Emily Ratajkowski look like that after a pregnancy SHE’S INSANE,” one wrote on the social media platform.

“Please tell me how Emily Ratajkowski got her pre-baby body back within three months of giving birth,” another commented.

In April there was a similar reaction when the supermodel shared another series of photos to promote her bikini line.

As the new mother posed in a giraffe print bikini on TikTok, many lamented it was “impossible” given how recently she had given birth.

“Didn’t you just give birth one month ago woman?” one asked.

Can’t believe you just had a baby,” another commented.

“No way this woman had a baby last month,” another said.

Her decision to regularly flaunt her post-baby body has drawn criticism online, with Australian actress and mum-of-two Claire Holt taking to her Instagram to brand it “annoying”.

“I try not to be the Grinch on here, but I really wanna say something cos it’s annoying me. If you post a picture of your completely flat stomach 10 days after having a baby and call that body positivity, to me that’s the same as posting a picture of the millions of dollars in your bank account and calling that success positivity,” Holt said in a video posted to her Instagram stories on March.

“It might be true, but it makes other people feel sh**ty about themselves, and it’s not normal, and you’re an outlier, and you’re lucky. So maybe don’t show that part? Can we just use Instagram to try and make people feel included and not feel sh*t about themselves?”

She also shared a photo of herself two weeks after giving birth to one of her children, contrasting with Em Rata’s flat stomach.
