New mum Hannah Polites posts Insta snap to her 1million followers wearing a tiny pre-pregnancy dress just TWO WEEKS after giving birth
The new mum was criticised by many for being so slim, but has now hit back
AN Instagram model, who recently became a mother, has hit back after she was blasted for sharing a photo of herself and her new-born baby.
, 24, gave birth to her first child three weeks ago and decided to post a photo to Instagram with her tot.
In the photo the instagrammer and midwife looked super svelte in a figure-hugging dress while she held her little daughter, Evaliah Grace, then two and a half weeks, in one arm.
It didn’t take long for some of her followers to leave negative comments on the cute snap.
One person said: “You look good but please don't hold that baby like that”.
But it wasn’t just the way she was holding her daughter that her followers didn’t like – her dress was also up for debate.
In the photo, Hannah can be seen wearing a dress that she also wore for New Year's Eve in 2015, before she fell pregnant.
The fact she was able to fit in to the same dress less than three weeks after giving birth seemed to rile up many.
One person wrote: “Looks like she's got more attention for her phone than supporting than little baby's neck [sic]”.

“It looks like she prefers show her body and not the baby,”, added another.
The hateful comments forced Hannah to hit back to defend herself.
She wrote: “Calm down people, I know how to hold my baby safely and have barely left her side for more than a couple of minutes since she was born,
“You can bond with your child without needing to lose your identity.”
Other commenters soon began to stick up for her.
One supporter wrote: “Good on @hannahpolites for looking so fricking amazing 2 weeks after giving birth while she just probably stopped for 2 seconds from rushing around to take a photo! Because I know if I looked that good then I'd be doing it too! Get some life experience before you judge every single mother out there!”
“You're a beautiful mother & you don't need to explain yourself to other haters, especially when you are a midwife. Bless you & your beautiful little girl”, another added.
Earlier in her pregnancy, Hannah had been trolled by those who thought she was too thin while pregnant.
She spoke out then, saying that doctors said her baby was perfectly healthy, and actually 20 per cent bigger than the average.
The proud new mum has also said that she will keep on posting photos of her body and that she would not let those who criticise her get her down.
