A sickening video has surfaced online reportedly showing a woman pouring vodka into a baby's mouth.
The child appears to be given a taste of Long White, a pre-mixed vodka drink, as it lays in just a nappy surrounded by cushions.
A man, thought to be the tot's dad, just sits and watches.
The clip is believed to have been filmed in New Zealand with authorities being left "appalled" by the footage.
However, the child's father has spoken out after claiming he has been threatened online, and said 'only an idiot would feed a baby vodka'.
He told the New Zealand Herald:"Me and my wife and a couple of my mates were there and we [were] just joking around [with] her.
"I'm a father and my kids [are] my heart."
But a photo later emerged of the same man, holding a pint of lager up to the baby's lips, with the caption: "Her first Xmas eve and beer #bestdadever."
The video, which was circulated on Snapchat, appears to have been held at the One Love music festival held in Tauranga, which was held this weekend.
New Zealand Police say they have not received any reports in relation to the clip.
And the country's Ministry of Children said: "We are aware of a video that has been circulating on social media, and will work with police as necessary."
