‘Ruin child’s feet’: Mum slammed for putting baby in heels

A mum has been slammed online after sharing a video of her baby daughter walking around in high heels.

A mum has felt the full backlash of social media after posting a video of her baby wearing heels.

The woman posted the clip to TikTok of her daughter walking around in pink socks and blue high heels, New York Post reports.

And the backlash was quick to come.

“They can damage her feet; babies not supposed to be in heels,” one person said in the video’s comments.

“Really? Let’s completely ruin your child’s feet – what exceptional parents you are NOT,” complained another.

Enough hate spread around for the mother to respond with a comment of her own.

She said she bought the shoes from Build-A-Bear Workshop and the video was just supposed to be a joke.

“​​They are Build-A-Bear shoes, they are soft and her hands was being held – thank you for all your concerns,” she said.

This caused a few people to take her side.

“Well that’s just the best. Please watch the comments, as if the child wears them daily! Why’s everyone so serious? It’s a joke!” one person commented.

“I get all the hate comments IF she wore them daily. I’d so put Build-A-Bear shoes on my girl for a laugh but she’s 18 now,” another commented.

But this didn’t convince everyone that this was still an acceptable way to dress her child.

“Even if play shoes, they are just horrid,” said one of the comments.
