Jessa Seewald Enjoys Newborn Son, While Sister Jill Dillard Gets Slammed On Parenting Skills


It has been an eventful week for Jessa Seewald as she just gave birth to her first child on November 5. Her son was born at home but because the new mom started bleeding heavily, she was supposedly taken to the hospital to get checked out to make sure she was okay. She was not the only Duggar daughter who got some attention this week. Jill Dillard is now having her and husband Derick’s parenting skills questioned.

Baby photos and videos have emerged on social media of both Jessa Seewald’s firstborn and of Jill’s seven-month-old son Israel. Quite a few snapshots of the Duggar family each holding the new baby have been posted on the Seewald Family website. Jim Bob and Michelle, Jinger, and some other members of the family are sharing some first moments with him. It is obvious just how thrilled they are with another new Duggar baby.

Jessa had some complications as TMZ first reported on the night that she gave birth. However, she is fine after being treated for her excessive bleeding, she was able to posed for a first family photo with husband Ben Seewald and their son. They look happy to begin their new life as a family-of-three. While the Duggar family is receiving many well-wishers, Jill Dillard has been getting plenty of attention from haters on social media on her parenting skills.

Jill had her first child seven months ago. She, along with husband Derick Dillard, has been keeping fans updated on how their family is doing while they are in South America. However, they have been getting quite a bit of backlash about a recent video that was posted on Instagram.

Derick was shown trying to get Israel to stay still for a photo shoot, but the little guy wasn’t having it. He was wiggling around as all babies at that age do and his daddy was seen setting him back down against the bed he was lying on so they could get a picture. What was supposed to be a fun video has now turned into a slam fest claiming child abuse against the couple, as previously reported by the Inquisitr.

Some of the comments have claimed that Israel’s head was slammed down by his dad. Of course, it may be how people interpret child abuse as many others came out to defend Jill and Derick saying that they had seen nothing wrong with what he did with the little boy.

Many commenters say that this is all part of the blanket training that the Duggar family uses, while others said that the parents were only trying to have Israel sit still for the photo. Now that Jessa Seewald is a mom, she will most likely be scrutinized as well when it comes to how she parents this baby. She may use the same method as her mom and sister, but she may choose to do something a little different now that she has her own family.

Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald have had their lives an open book since they were small, and even more so now that they have gotten married and are having babies. In addition, the two Duggar sisters have their own reality show airing in December as well, so this puts them both in the spotlight. They are putting their lives in front of the cameras for the world to see. They also post quite a bit on social media and that gets them into trouble sometimes.

It is not only reality stars like Jill and Jessa that that get haters coming out, but regular people who post various photos and videos also get themselves into trouble if readers do not agree with their way of doing things, especially when it comes to parenting. It’s almost like anyone who takes part in social media everyday are reality stars themselves.

Jessa Seewald is just starting out as a mom and is happy getting to know her son, whose name has not yet been announced. Jill is also enjoying her son while living in a different country and they are both going to have to deal with how they raise their children while in the public eye.

What are your thoughts concerning Jill Dillard’s video of Israel? Do you think that Jessa Seewald will be criticized as harshly as she raises her baby boy?
