Jed Duggar slammed for allowing son Truett, 2 months, to use ‘dangerous’ toy after backlash for ‘poor’ parenting choices
JED Duggar has been slammed by fans for allowing his two-month-old son, Truett, near a "dangerous" toy.
This criticism comes after the Counting On star received backlash for "poor" parenting choices in the past.
Jed posted a photo of his son, Truett, on Instagram.
Truett was dressed in khaki pants, a white button-down shirt with a blue design on it, and white and pink shoes.
In the three photos, the two-month-old sat on the grass, stood with the help of his parents, and made a funny face as he laid in his father's arms.
Jed held onto his back the entire time, as the baby is too young to hold himself up.

While Jed's followers on Instagram left positive comments like "Oh my goodness" and "Look how handsome," Reddit users were concerned with something else.
Truett had a pacifier attached to his shirt by a clip.
Fans noticed that the object was recalled and slammed Jed for his bad parenting move.

CHOKING HAZARD
The pacifier is blue with beige beads and a silver clip.
According to the , a product similar to Truett's had been recalled and deemed a "Choking hazard."
The website states that the "D ring on the pacifier can break, allowing beads to detach."
However, the item was recalled in 2015, way before Truett was born, so the parents might not know about it.
Reddit users took to the platform to comment on the "dangerous" item.
One pointed out that the pacifier had been recalled.
"That pacifier clip has been recalled since the string can break and the child can choke on the individual beads. So I see they’re following right along with the Duggar safety standards!" the user said.
Another platform user joked about the pacifier and the way his parents' dressed him.
"Got his pacifier clipped on like a middle school geography teacher’s lanyard," the fan joked.
BBQ BABY
Jed and Katey have been slammed in the past for their "bad parenting" moves.
The couple posted a video to their Youtube channel last month.
The video documented their RV camping trip and their excitement of trying out the vehicle with their newborn.
While meeting up with the Duggars for a cookout, Jed and Katey showed off the baby in his adorable basket to the family.
However, at one point, the baby basket was set directly underneath the grill.
Fans were outraged by the action and circulated a snap from the YouTube video on a forum.
One wondered: "Y'all, why do they have this baby sitting under a grill?"
A second asked: "They couldn't have found literally anywhere else for the kid to be?"
Another fan chimed in with, "Also, the baby is almost touching / is dangerously close to the propane tank. Jed is also leaning over the baby to reach the grill. Anybody who was around them that day clearly lacks common sense for them not to correct where the baby is."
'THAT'S DANGEROUS!'
Earlier this month, the couple suffered another parenting blunder, as they packed their car with numerous items all-around Truett.
The family was going on a road trip and documented it on their channel.
Katey pointed her finger to the backseat, where their son Truett was strapped into his baby chair.
Jed's wife also admitted there was "lots of stuff" in the back.
The rear of the vehicle included luggage and another chair for the baby, which sat behind Katey's head.
Counting On fans jumped to the comments section after noticing the backseat was covered from top to bottom with random items.
Followers speculated that an object could fall and possibly hit the infant.
"I just wonder if they even think of child safety, or if they know, and just don’t care," one critic wondered.
"Baby True is one moment away from a serious accident," noted another follower.
A third chimed in with: "Child safety! Child Safety! Come on!"
DREAM COME TRUE
The former TV stars announced they were expecting their first baby together in September 2021.
On May 2, Truett Oliver was born at 6:34 pm, weighing in at 8lbs 5oz.
Jed and Katey announced on their Instagram that he had arrived in the world with a picture of them and the baby.
"He’s here! We love you so much, baby True!" they captioned the post at the time.
