Body image has become a hot topic on social media, with nasty trolls bullying those who don’t conform to conventional beauty standards.
But for one mum on TikTok, the mean comments have gone too far – as they’ve even started criticising the size of her 13-month-old baby.
Jackie, who posts under the username @jackieandadao, welcomed her son Luxe into the world just over a year ago and regularly posts videos of herself with her baby on social media.
But the videos have garnered negative attention from vicious trolls, who have slammed the tot for weighing 30lbs, when the average weight of a baby his age is around 18lbs.

In one clip hitting back at the trolls, 21-year-old Jackie – who is pregnant with her second child – listed some of the names critics have used to describe her baby, including “hippopotamus”, “watermelon head”, “little person”, and “giant”.
Mouthing along to a soundbite which told commenters they would “feel my wrath” if they didn’t stop, she wrote: “Me to the haters in my comments right after posting a video of my baby.”
Another video shows Jackie responding to a comment which said there was “nothing adorable or normal about a deformed child”.
In the video, Jackie shakes her head in disgust at the comment, as she wrote: “When I continue getting hateful comments like this about my sweet baby.”
She then added in the comments: “He’s perfect to me.”
And some commenters have been left equally shocked by the names people call Jackie’s baby.
One person wrote: “People can be so cruel, he is so adorable.”
While another stunned user posted: “But how can someone call a child hippopotamus ... What rubbish.”
And a third commented: “People will just never surprise me at this point, this person probably hating their life. Anyway, you’re doing great momma, keep going!”
