I get more and more disturbed when feminists and welfare groups start becoming what there were created to fight against. Beautiful photo, very cute. I have seen so many pictures of babies wearing the cutest outfits, I am sure this little baby will be looking through the photo albums and absolutely love or absolutely hate it. Cute

omg people get a life. She's a baby. who cares. She and her husband seem like fantastic parents. There's way more things to worry about than this picture.

Who cares~It really isn't a big controversy and her baby looked so cute.

seriously!!!!! She is just too cute :) I have seen a thousand little girls/babies in bikinis in my lifetime...who cares!!!! I have 3 girls & the only reason they didn't weat bikinis when babies is because they were a pain to be constantly fixing & more skin exposed just meant more chances of sunburn(I am not the greatest when it comes to applying/reapplying sunscreen). I have seen celebrity kids WITHOUT bathing suits, yet have NEVER heard any talk about it. Somehow fully exposing your kid is ok, but dressing them a simple/cute suit is not. People need to focus their time & energy on something that will make this world a better place!!!

Seriously people, Jessica did nothing to cause her daughter to be exposed! Nothing she did was for "sexuality" issue!

I would think people have better things to do with their time then crictize a new mom and a new baby in a cute little bathing suit!

The only people causing this 'bikini' to be viewed as sexual is the people who started it!!

I am a mother of 2 grown girls, I raised them with morals, values, confidence, and respect. They are amazing young ladies and I consider myself lucky enough to know them!! They both hold down jobs that have turned into great careers for them both and they both want children!

Here is the kicker "they both wore and wear bikini's" wow people find something else worth creating all this hype - the time you have spend typing, texting, tweeting, facebooking etc this subject is time you are taking away from being with your KIDS go and parent and leave the lady alone!

People spending to much time on this stuff. who cares. Doesn't make me mad. If people spent as much time helping people intern society we would create a better world, that would be energy well spent!

Oh for goodness sake people get a life. This is a pic of a sweet little baby in a sweet little bathing suit looking as cute as a button and that's all there is to it. Honestly find something real to obsess over.

There is nothing wrong with this bikini. I personally find this article about these bikinis far more disturbing:

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. I dressed my daughter in bikini's and I still let her choose to wear them at 12 years old. Ever heard of the old song "Itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini"? Its about the writer's baby daughter. Yeah - that was never a scandal where people turned babies into sexual objects. Its just a cute outfit on a cute baby. The end.

Absolutely ridiculous! Can't they leave her alone- she has gotten so much grief about her weight and now that she is losing it, they have to nit-pick about something else. Oh, I guess she could be like Victoria Beckham- weigh 80lbs after giving birth and look sooooo incredibly happy in every photo with her baby! It's strange what the media fixates on and what is acceptable.

People are completely overreacting. If anyone is sexualizing an infant wearing a bikini, it's the child welfare groups and critics. It's just an outfit. On a baby. And every mother has a right to take and proudly show pics of their babies.

How is taking a picture of a baby in a bikini any different then taking a picture of a baby just wearing a diaper? The media, and these child group activists need to get a grip, she's just wearing a bathing suit, and if you see something sexual about it, then I'm sorry, maybe there's something wrong with you.

Um... my daughter wore a bikini her whole childhood. She is 13 well adjusted, is not promiscuous or a promiscuous dresser now. She is a highly intelligent girl who cares about the world around her and she still wears a bikini. There were so many more important decisions that went into raising my daughter to be a caring,self confident young woman. One was that there is no reason to tear another person down to make yourself seem better or superior. What you accomplish and how you treat others is what should make you feel good about yourself. Not making another (mom in this case) feel bad. I have a problem with the whole isn't it cute how dim she is stuff too. Being a mom is hard and we are judged at EVERY turn and it is so sad that we do it to each other. We all second guess ourselves, think we a bad parents and wonder if we are helping or hurting our kids with our parenting. We know how we as moms struggle with those thoughts and still we rip each other apart. I have had many conversations with my "bikini wearing" child over the years that life is hard and you need people around you who lift you up and you can only expect back what you give so be kind, you never know what is going on in someones life and your words and actions can do real damage. But apparently those other lessons don't matter because I put my child in a bikini, and now I'm labeled a poor dimwitted mother who has "compromised the sanctity of our children’s early years" Well guess what, that's crap. I know who I am as a mother and I did a damn good job raising a daughter who I can confidently say will never run around telling anyone who will listen how bad others are at whatever they chose to do and how her way is the only one. And you know what.. with all the horrible crap people do to their children, putting your baby in a bikini for a cute baby photo is really no big deal. All these "experts" didn't help her in any way. All they succeeded in doing here was make a new mom feel like a bad parent in exchange for giving themselves an ego boost.

Nope. People are free to do that. Would I personally choose to do it? No. It's certainly not the worst thing and people really should focus more on their own lives rather than ranting about how other parents are so terrible. Let's just treat other people with respect. That's something to teach your children.

People show naked baby pictures on fur rugs, babys in flower pots, babies in army gear, There is an artist that makes tones of money dressing newly born babies up in all sorts of costumes. They put her pictures on calendars. One proud mother's picture of her baby should not stir so much chatter. Maybe their issue is really with the mother.

I also think people are overrreacting. It is a cute photo in my opinion. Everyone is so quick to find fault with other mothers. You have to be sick to see anything sexual in the photo!!!

i think people should relax i agree with everything you said Haley Jess will never be an icon or role model for feminism and it looked like a home photo its not like she was parading her baby around in public geez andi'mnot condoning any kind of explotation of children

Who cares? Everyone is overreacting in my opinion. It's just an outfit. It was cute too. A lot of parents post pics of their newborn completely naked or in a diaper, but that's okay and this isn't? The only people who would sexualize it are perverts to begin with, because there is never anything sexual about a baby. It's a swim suit, big deal...

I think people need to relax. She wasn't selling the photo and it's a BABY for heaven's sake. So, I'm guessing taking a photo of your cute baby's bum is totally wrong too? Come on! You want something to worry about, what about those Tiara kids that are being exposed and SOLD for profit?! That's sick. We are not perfect parents ourselves, and should not point the finger at others for silly little things like this. Unfortunately she is a star, and did put the photo up on tv, so she's opened it up to opinions....

It doesn't make me mad so much. If that was a picture taken in my house hold which I've taken pictures like that because they are cute at the time but I wouldn't have shown it on live tv because I wouldn't want other people to think that is how I am. I wouldn't make a habit of dressing my children in them I think they are adults cloths and I don't want my children to mix up what is adult attire and what is children's. Also weather people want to admit it or not some adult men are perverts and seeing children in some of these outfits makes them think bad things about little children and I think it's a bad idea.
