Jill Duggar has only been a new mother for a little less than a month now but she is already being criticized for her parenting skills. A new report says that the reality television star was recently slammed for apparently holding her son Israel David Dillard wrong in a sling.

According to OK! Magazine on Tuesday, Jill shared a photo of her along with her husband Derick and their new bundle of joy on their Facebook page, which sparked a lot of comments - both positive and negative - from her followers. Many said that the sling should be raised "about a foot" as her baby should have been laying on her chest and not her waist.

"You would think after having 82 siblings and being a midwife she would know how to use a sling properly," one commenter wrote.

Another critic wrote that holding Israel horizontally could be dangerous for Jill, too, because she had a Cesarean section to deliver her baby earlier this month.

According to People Magazine earlier this month, Jill had quite a "dramatic" delivery which made her son's arrival pretty difficult.

Spending about 70 hours in labor, Jill tested positive for strep B, which is a bacteria that is commonly found during birth, but also requires antibiotics.

Her mother Michelle told the magazine in a new interview, "There were times I looked into her eyes during contractions where I wanted to cry. I know how horrific it is to go through that, and I did everything I could not break into tears."

Jill herself added, "I was praying to God to give me strength. I was really scared and nervous, but I was praying."
