Lala Baptiste Responds to Parenting Critics with Confidence

On Friday, Lala Baptiste posted a heartfelt video of herself pushing baby Raine in a stroller on a sunny day, enjoying the fresh air outside. Although the newborn’s face was covered for protection, several social media users quickly pointed out that the baby was not wearing socks or a blanket, leading to widespread criticism.

The comments on social media clearly caught Lala’s attention. The next day, she took to her platforms to address the criticism head-on, making it clear that she would not tolerate unsolicited advice regarding her parenting choices.

In her response, Lala called out what she referred to as “internet doctors,” urging users to refrain from giving unsolicited parenting advice. She emphasized that her pediatrician had approved her decision to take the baby outside. Lala also clarified that her daughter’s arrival was not announced on the same day she was born; rather, she and Jay Cinco had waited over a week after her birth to share the joyous news publicly.

She wrapped up her message with a tongue-in-cheek remark, stating, “Find a hobby and have a blessed day.” Lala humorously added that she is “a new mom who will cuss all of you out individually” if necessary.

Mixed Reactions Emerge on Social Media Following Lala’s Post

Social media users quickly flooded the comments section of The Shade Room with a variety of reactions regarding the situation. The comments ranged from supportive to critical, showcasing the diverse opinions on Lala’s parenting choices.

Instagram user @lovers_xx expressed concern, writing, “Where are the baby socks? Where is her hat? Her blanket?” indicating a worry for the newborn’s comfort.

Another Instagram user, @harmoniiiiiiiiii, noted, “Let’s normalize stopping the unsolicited advice to moms who are already aware of their responsibilities, especially first-time moms! We have likely over-researched every detail about caring for our children!”

In contrast, Instagram user @yonashanti quipped, “Don’t post then lol, people are going to comment no matter what.”

Instagram user @identifyingkeex2 pointed out that many experts recommend taking babies out for fresh air and sunlight, stating, “They also say taking your baby out is beneficial for them.”

Another user, @luv_jones222, humorously remarked, “That baby still needs some socks 😂.”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @lialenae argued, “How can you tell someone not to share their child’s moments just because they are taking their baby outside for a walk? 🤣🤣🤣🤣”

Instagram user @mimixoant added, “There is a comment section for a reason 🤣, but it doesn’t mean you need to listen or respond… slow poke.”

Another voice, @inkmychina69, suggested that “people need to stop telling others how to raise their children,” highlighting the need for personal parenting choices.

Lastly, Instagram user @lexi.thee.libra shared her perspective, saying, “Taking a week-old baby out is still surprising behavior. My daughter didn’t leave our home except for doctor visits for three months, and we avoided stores for about six weeks.”
