A mom has been slammed as "creepy" and "disturbing" after creating a playdough cesarean model for her four-year-old son's birthday.

Dr. Jessica So recently took to YouTube and Twitter to share a video of herself teaching her son the steps involved in a c-section birth, with the help of a model made from playdough.

The mom - who uses the handle @TheBreakfasteur on Twitter - states that her son "loves watching surgeries" on YouTube, and therefore started a channel dedicated to teaching him the complicated procedures by using his modeling dough.

However, the most most recent cesarean video was met with backlash from other social media users.

Watch the full video below:

The video shows Dr. So and her young son opening a playdough abdomen, as the pair cut through and pull apart the "skin, tissue, and muscle" before the four-year-old cuts into the playdough "uterus" with a plastic scalpel.

Throughout the video, her son can be heard giggling and interjecting, before finally pulling out the baby - a small Spider-Man teddy.

Since posting the video to social media on Saturday, it has already amassed over 49,000 views on YouTube and 3.7 million views on Twitter.

However, many Twitter users slammed the mom's choice to educate her son on the birthing procedure, with many believing it was too "disturbing" for a young child.

One Twitter user typed: "This is disturbing on many levels! And the overdue of c sections only serves to make women feel more powerless about their own abilities to birth a baby."

"As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I strongly recommend you to not play a such game with your kids aged 2 to 12. It might traumatize your kid and may also lead children to do the same to their peers. Insane," wrote Twitter user Dr. Veysi Çeri.

And Alison Dodge replied to the video, writing: "I find this disturbing. Cesarean birth is still birth. This exercise ignores sacred element - as if it’s any other surgery. Makes a good case for avoiding surgical birth and knife-happy OB though. C-section is drastically overused and US has maternal mortality rates to prove it."

A fourth added: "WTAF? I consider myself a very progressive parent & embrace age appropriate learning for all [topics], but this is just plain unnecessary & quite frankly a little disturbing."

However, there were several Twitter users who had no problem with the video, and found it very educational.

One Twitter user quipped: "I learnt more ab birthing a child from this video than I ever did in catholic school."

And Twitter user Lexi Green replied: "My mother was born by C, I was born by C, and my son was born by C. I am grateful for the procedure and thought this was a great way for a kid to learn about their parent's job. I hope that the Play-Doh had an epidural."
