The reality star approached the appliance with her camera and asked: "What are you doing Ivy?" as the child closed the door.

Through a small crack, the TV personality filmed her toddler open up the milk carton and take a huge gulp.

The small child then went for a second sip as her mom asked: "Ivy were you thirsty?"

Jessa explained to the toddler: "Ivy you need to ask, mommy can put that in a cup for you. You don't need to drink out of the jug, now you have your germs on it."

The conservative Christian captioned her post: "Less than two weeks ago she had a birthday, and if this doesn’t say 'two years old' I don’t know what does.

"Looking on the bright side, at least she didn’t spill it! Girl has got some good hand/eye coordination. Maybe time for a refrigerator," the mother of three laughed.

However, fans were not so amused, as many took to the comments to as "extremely dangerous."

"People in the public eye have a responsibility! What if the baby goes in the fridge when she's not standing there....it's happened with horrible consequences!" one ranted.

Despite critics swarming the post, some fans jumped to Jessa's rescue as they reminded others that the child went "unharmed."

"What danger?! She's standing right in front of her like 3 inches away...." one expressed.

"She was literally right there, recording. Ivy is fine and clearly unharmed. OP, kids do stuff like this all the time! It's not the end of the world," they reasoned.

This was not the first time that Jessa faced criticism over her parenting decisions.

For Ivy's second birthday earlier this month, the TLC star opted to rather than wrapped boxes and bags.

Jessa's followers flocked to the comments section of her to slam her for using her daughter's birthday as an opportunity to "sponsor" the delivery service.

"Wrapping paper and a bow is such a big part of the wow of the gift. I remember how exciting the wrapping was to me.
