Credit: Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption>Car seat criticism <\/h2>\n The wave of comments and criticism began as soon as Molly-Mae and Tommy brought their daughter home for the first time. <\/p>\n
In a sweet video, Molly\u00a0is seen carrying the tot out of the stationary car in her arms \u2013 rather than leaving her in the car seat and carrying her in.<\/p>\n
While there is no issue with this, one person remarked: \u201cSorry to be baby police but you should have carried Bambi in the car seat.\u201d <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A month later, Molly-Mae was then mum-shamed for having baby Bambi in her arms in the back of a black cab.<\/p>\n
Fans were quick to react, demanding she put the baby in a car seat – even though the law doesn't technically require one.<\/p>\n
According to the government website, in a licensed taxi\/private hire vehicle, if the driver doesn\u2019t provide the\u00a0correct child car seat, children can travel without one – but only if they travel on a rear seat and wear an adult seat belt if they\u2019re three or older.<\/p>\n
Kirsty says: "This is always an emotive topic, because the law states that\u00a0you can take a baby in the back of a cab with no seat belt. <\/p>\n
"Black cabs are able to carry an unfolded pushchair though, often the cab driver will secure the pushchair with its break on, with the straps used for wheelchair users. <\/p>\n
"This would be a safer option, if you have no car seat."<\/p>\n
'She's not an accessory' <\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Fans were also quick to comment when Molly-Mae posted a selfie in front of her baby's lavish wardrobe and showed off Bambi's impressive clothing collection – including \u00a3300 Gucci shoes.<\/p>\n
One commented: "Bambi's wardrobe is more expensive than my house," while another said: "Bambi has a better wardrobe than everyone else already and she's barely a month old."<\/p>\n
However, while many were impressed, others weren't and accused the star of showing off – commenting that her daughter was 'not an accessory'.<\/p>\n
Decorating the nursery <\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Even Tommy and Molly-Mae's choice of decor for their baby's nursery didn't escape criticism.<\/p>\n
Shamers took exception to the monochrome colour scheme the pair have gone for in their nursery – going as far as to say it was impractical and even bad for Bambi.<\/p>\n
"Babies crave colour for intellectual growth. Hopefully Molly-Mae has tons of bleach on hand either way," wrote one.<\/p>\n
Implying the colour scheme was a 'selfish choice', another wrote: "It is sad that instagram aesthetics are more important to Molly than her child's development.<\/p>\n
"Kids need colour!"<\/p>\n
Kirsty says: "I have been into many nurseries while working as a nanny and they have all varied in how they have looked, from neutral and minimalist like Bambi's room, to very bright and busy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
"Black and white and high-contrast colours are fab for a baby's early development. However, does a nursery have to have all that? No. <\/p>\n
"As long as there are toys in the home which support development, Bambi will be just fine."<\/p>\n
Feeding routine <\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
An area that often draws a lot of attention is feeding, and when Molly-Mae opened up on her routine when Bambi was 10 weeks old, the floodgates opened when it came to comments. <\/p>\n
In a video, Molly-Mae explained: "7pm is when bedtime starts and then she has a bottle at 11pm and after 11pm that's when we try to get our night's sleep, which at the minute is going a lot better.<\/p>\n
"We are definitely getting more sleep now – I say more sleep – at the minute I am probably getting about four or five hours.<\/p>\n
"She's going from 11pm to 7am with no milk but she is waking up all though the night and I settle her.<\/p>\n
"She is waking up like 'oh I want some milk' and I'm like 'you're not having milk now.'<\/p>\n
"Around this time is when they stop feeding in the night and with her we are trying to encourage that."<\/p>\n
One took to the comments section of the YouTube video and wrote: "You are doing amazing but 10 weeks is too early to not feed her during the night if she\u2019s waking up hungry."<\/p>\n
A second raged: "It is NOT an accomplishment to starve a 10 week old from 11 pm to 7 am. I am horrified. Seek knowledge please, this is child neglect."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Feeding is always an area where parents get a lot of stick<\/p>\n
Kirsty says: "Ultimately, as long as your baby is thriving and content, how you feed your baby is up to you, and I am sure that Molly-Mae has had professional input to help guide her.<\/p>\n
"Feeding is always an area where parents get a lot of stick."<\/p>\n
Out in the cold <\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Even\u00a0the seemingly harmless decision to go for coffee with the little one\u00a0and sitting in an outside area, has put Molly-Mae under scrutiny. <\/p>\n
Molly\u00a0captioned the post: "Coffee date with a little garden gnome."<\/p>\n
Bambi could be seen resting on her mum\u2019s knee in a brown knitted outfit, while Molly donned jeans and an oversized jacket.<\/p>\n
Followers complained that Bambi should be wearing a snowsuit in cold weather.<\/p>\n
Kirsty says: "Fresh air is good for baby and mum, and as long as your baby is dressed appropriately, being outdoors is totally fine. <\/p>\n
"In fact, it's a great sensory experience for them – the smells, sounds, sights…seeing other people and babies, and napping outdoors can be really beneficial too. <\/p>\n
"It has been found that an outdoor nap can lead to happier children.<\/p>\n
"From a new mum's perspective, getting out the house is a great mental health tool too."\u00a0<\/p>\n
'Maybe I did forget to put socks on her'<\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Most recently, when the mum-of-one took eight-month-old Bambi out for a coffee, she posted a cute snap together. <\/p>\n
Sadly, probably knowing full well the comments she was likely to receive about Bambi's bare feet, she instantly felt like she needed to share an explanation. <\/p>\n
She wrote on Instagram: "Can\u2019t wait for my favourite season with you baby girl\u2026. maybe I did forget to put socks on her today. (also this hot choc went flying 10 seconds later and destroyed my Uggs)."<\/p>\n
Thankfully plenty of fans jumped to her defence, with one commenting: "The fact she has to justify Bambi not having socks on is sad, as she knows the trolls will come out with all the: \u201cher feet will be freezing\u201d blah blah blah!" <\/p>\n
Kirsty says: "Did she forget, or, like the rest of us have experienced, were the socks kicked off?<\/p>\n
