“Ahhhh didn’t anyone tell you you shouldn’t kiss a baby in the mouth. Even your own. She’s beautiful though,” one fan wrote in the comment section of Union’s post.
“She’s gorgeous, but no kissing babies on the mouth,” another user commented.
Some fans even claimed to notice something wrong with Kaavia’s breathing.
Union later responded to the critics, writing: “Hey guys I appreciate all the concern about kisses on the mouth and labored breathing, I am blessed enough to have a nurse here with us while at work.”
“Kaav is healthy and I don’t even touch her without washing and sanitizing myself and everything and everyone that comes into contact with her.”
“No visits with sick folk and even all of Oprah’s crew got whooping cough vaccinations and current on all vaccinations to be in our home,” Union said in reference to her upcoming special with Oprah Winfrey.
“If you think I waited this long and went thru [sic] all this to put my baby in harm’s way… you got another thing coming,” she concluded.
“Oprah at Home with Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade & Their New Baby” will air on Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
