Why Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Photo Of Baby Psalm Has Fans Worried

Twitter is outraged

In case you missed it, Kim Kardashian shared the very first photo of her newborn son and fourth child last week.

“Psalm West” the 38-year-old captioned the Instagram announcement, featuring a text from her husband Kanye West. “Beautiful Mother’s Day with the arrival of our fourth child. We are blessed beyond measure. We have everything we need,” Kardashian wrote. 

However, fans quickly flooded the social media post with alarming comments – many worried that the baby boy’s sleep conditions might increase his risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). According to the Mayo Clinic, soft sleeping surfaces, overheating, and sleeping on the stomach or side all put a baby at risk.

One Twitter user, who claims to be an ER doctor, wrote: “Please please please go pay an overpriced ‘sleep consultant’ to get all that unnecessary padding, bumpers, and blankets out of your child’s crib so they are not at risk for SIDS.  I’ve tried and failed to resuscitate too many children that have died this way.”

While another said: “1. Congrats! 2. Anyone else freaking out about all the blankets & bumpers?! American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping the crib free of blankets & pillows until baby is 12 months old, as these can create a suffocation hazard. @kanyewest Just looking out for a fellow dad.”

Another Twitter user pointed out that Kim is setting a bad example for her millions of followers. Adding: “I really hope Kim and Kanye only used the cushion thingie for the pic. … Wish they had photographed wee Psalm lying flat and swaddled in an empty crib.”

Kim first announced the news on January 15, while making an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. 

“Are you working on another child?” Cohen asked, to which Kim replied, “We are”.

“It’s a boy, I think it’s been out there,” she added. “I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and told some people. I can’t remember who I told because I never get drunk.”

Baby Pslam joins siblings North, 5½, Saint, 3, and Chicago, 1.
