Deena Cortese has no time for mommy shamers.
The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star shut down commenters who expressed concern about an outfit that her then-2-day-old son Christopher “CJ” John was shown wearing in the second photo of a Monday Instagram post.
“Going home ? ( it’s not a jacket .. it’s a onesie and hospital approved it ) we’re not perfect but we got this ??,” first-time mom Cortese, 31, captioned the photo on behalf of herself and husband Christopher Buckner. “Thank you for the concerns ?.”
One user commented, “Hospital personnel are NOT cat seat technicians. That ‘onesie’ is definitely NOT safe in a car seat,” while another wrote, “There shouldn’t be that much space in between the legs and the straps and bulky snowsuits/jacket shouldn’t be put on in the car seat.”
Another follower replied, “A CPST would not have approved this bunting in the seat, or allowed the baby to leave with a loose harness like it is.”

In December, one mom pointed out “car seat guidelines” on Reddit that warn parents against allowing their children to wear coats while riding in a car seat.
Her comments were in line with guidelines published in October by consumerreports.org, which state, “As a general rule, winter coats should not be worn underneath a car seat harness because that can leave the harness too loose to be effective in a crash.”
