Chrissy Teigen can’t catch a break on social media when it comes to her parenting choices. This time the model, 32, is under fire for sharing a photo that shows her and 2-year-old daughter Luna playing together while taking a bath on Tuesday, May 15.

Teigen, who is pregnant with her second child, captioned the sweet moment on Instagram: “a splash with toons.”

Though both the cookbook author and her toddler are nude, the picture was taken in a way so that no private parts are exposed. Also the water is so shallow it barely covers Luna’s knees. But that didn’t stop followers from sounding off.

“This is beautiful and all, but there are some intimate photos that you should keep in your family circle,” wrote one person.

Added another: “Bathtub pictures of a minor. Classless.”

A third scolded the pregnant star for using plastic tub toys.

While Teigen has not yet responded to the haters, her followers have her back. As one wrote: “If anyone says one more negative thing, send em my way. You go girl. That’s what moms do!!!”

Luna will soon have to share her mama’s attention. She and husband John Legend are expecting a baby boy in June.

This pregnancy has felt endless for Teigen, who conceived via in vitro fertilization. “It feels worse for me because with IVF you know *So* early,” she tweeted on May 9. “I mean I knew I was pregnant at 11 days in. Crazy.”

As of March, Teigen and the R&B singer, 39, hadn’t decided on a baby moniker but were considering J.J. for John Jr. and Ronald, a family name. “We are doing horribly. We didn’t even pick out Luna’s name until three days in the hospital,” she told Us Weekly that month. “I want to see him before we give him a name. I like boy names on girls. When I think of a boy name, I always just think it’s better for a girl.”
