TikToker Katie Harley called out the 'parenting advice' she received in the comments of her divisive viral video.

Everyone parents a little differently.

But one TikTok mom found herself defending herself and her parenting choices after posting a video of her six-month-old baby eating a rare steak for dinner.


"People [love] giving parenting advice to people who didn't ask."

Katie Harley responded to the comments on her post of her baby Eliza chowing down on a piece of bloody steak.

The American Academy of Pediactrics (AAP) recommends starting babies on solids at around six-months. Several studies have found by that time babies are no longer able to get adequate nutrients such as iron zinc, and vitamin B by just consuming breastmilk.

"By six months of age, [a baby's] iron stores are depleted, and breastmilk alone can no longer meet all of the infant's nutrient requirements such as iron, zinc and vitamin B."

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the AAP recommend meat be cooked to a certain temperature in order to reduce the risk of getting sick.

"145 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for whole cuts of beef, veal, lamb and pork, including fresh ham (raw)."

The video has over one million views and over two thousand comments.

People don't need to be parent shaming or telling anyone how to parent their kids.

They certainly don't need to accuse people of not loving their children because of something as innocent as what they eat.

However, that being said, it is important parents follow the guidelines laid out by the AAP and the CDC in order to prevent their children from getting sick.
