Hilaria Baldwin has issued a stinging rebuke to followers of her Instagram account, after she was shamed for posting a breastfeeding photo.
On Sunday Baldwin, 36, shared a statement to her Instagram page, informing her 800,000+ followers that she would block anyone who tried to tell her how she should be posting as a mother.
"In case you missed my stories and you need clarity here too. As I said there: 45 seconds on this and that is all I’m giving it. Post from here will hopefully just be babies and silliness and love", Baldwin captioned the post.
Baldwin, who welcomed her fifth child with her husband Alec Baldwin on September 8 received messages from trolls who claimed she was oversharing after she posted an image of herself breastfeeding while brushing her teeth.
“Let me be really clear about something: I will post here and there about how we are doing. If you send me a comment telling me how much to post or how little, and I happen to see the message, I will just block you. I’m not interested in those opinions,” a portion of the statement reads.
“Five kids in, we are happy, healthy, bonded, tired, busy, but blessed.The split second it takes to snap a pic or put it here, on our community that we have build for years, is something I enjoy.”
She added:
“I look back to these pics and am always happy to pause and document. I will never regret it. When I see a negative comment, I always wonder…why do you follow me if you don’t like what you see? Now back to my family.”
And fans leapt to Baldwin's defense in the comments.
"You are an intelligent woman and a fantastic Mom...much respect. Your family is a bright place on here. Negative ppl are usually jealous or insecure in some way...their problem, not yours.❤" One commenter wrote, while another added, "Exactly! Well said! Sending your family lots of love and good vibes! :)"
A third commenter wrote, "You have a beautiful family, a very determined and loving spirit, and I - for one - truly enjoy your pictures. Just keep on keeping on, sweetie!"
