Jessica Simpson is getting a lot of heat for a family photo that she shared via her Instagram account on July 9.
The photo series, which she captioned simply with “The lake life,” shows both Simpson and Eric Johnson enjoying a fun day out on a boat with their family and friends. However, one particular photo shows Johnson holding their 3-year-old daughter Birdie, who happens to have a pacifier in her mouth. When one follower wrote, “Birdies a little old for a binkie don’t you think,” it didn’t take long for others to respond as well. Another comment included, “I know right 1st thing I noticed that’s why her top teeth are arched.” (The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry suggests that parents begin weening their children from their pacifiers anywhere between the ages of 2 and 4.)
While Simpson herself has not made any comments about the social media controversy, it looked like she and her loved ones were enjoying their much-needed family time together. There’s a good chance that Birdie’s smile might one day be just as beautiful and content as her mom’s, regardless of what anyone has to say about the tot’s pacifier habit now.
