Christina Mandrell defends her choice of posting her daughter's photo on social media
Everyone has a different choice. And, it's not something that one should be judged of until and unless it becomes harmful to others. Some reality stars choose to post their kids' photos on social media while most of them avoid it. Christina falls in the prior category. The star on Thursday took to her Instagram story to address some of the trolls. She wrote, "Also had some people express their STRONG concerns with the fact that I put my child's face on my IG.." She added, "I absolutely respect parents who decide to not put their children online. I realize there are many reasons for this!" Not doing the same, Christina defended her choices by saying, "However, moving forward, I will still be posting with my daughter."

In order to back up her claims, Christina posted a collage of two pictures where she is seen captured in the camera as a 2-day-old. The first photo was from a Magazine named "Country Weekly" where Christina's mother Irlene Mandrell is seen posing with her newborn. In the other photo, Christina's mother is seen posing with two other ladies while holding the newborn in her lap. 'The Bachelor' star captioned the story, "For a reference, here is a photo of my first magazine photo shoot at one day old." She added, "& BTS my first TV appearance at 2 days old." The star slammed back at the trolls saying, "& I turned out fine...right!?"
In order to further stay firm on her points, Christina uploaded a short video of her daughter posing in a floral top and blue ripped denim. She captioned the clip, "Today is picture day and Blakely is so much cooler than me it's ridiculous."
