Filled with that new-mommy joy, Gabrielle Union‘s Instagram feed has been packed with baby pictures. But a new video with her showering her daughter in kisses is receiving backlash.
Captioned “Kissing Game, She’s got my heart on a string,” the short video is a less than 30 seconds of the mother-daughter combo kissing on the mouth. Still, some commenters felt that Union was harming the child.
“Kissing seems so harmless, but research suggests that you could spread oral bacteria called mutant streptococci through saliva if you have active tooth decay,” said one commenter, giving an unwelcome dose of cyber parenting. “And this could increase your child’s risk of tooth decay.”
With hundreds of people giving unrequested advice, Union offered a response to the comments.
“Hey guys, I appreciate all the concern about kisses on the mouth and labored breathing,” the 46-year-old wrote. “I am blessed enough to have a nurse here with us while at work. Kaav is healthy and I don’t even touch her without washing and sanitizing myself and everything and everyone that comes into contact with her.”
A classy comeback, the actress stood her ground while defending her right to parent in her own way.
