A US mum has copped backlash for having a night nanny look after her baby while she has "mum time" and relaxes.
Brittant Knight took to social media to show off the benefits of having a night nanny, explaining that between 8pm and 6am she doesn't have to look after her two-month-old son at all.
"There are zero happenings between 8pm and 6am because I'm usually ASLEEP, OK?"
The mum later added in the comments: "Postpartum Nighttime Doulas do a lot more than just take care of the baby throughout the night.
"It's important you find one who fits you and your family's needs!"
Bright's post copped heated backlash with a number of people calling her out for being a "part time" mum and labelled her lifestyle "financial privilege".
"Say you rich without saying you rich," laughed one commenter.
"Doula care from a reproductive/birth justice framework is NOT supposed to be luxurious," another wrote.
Meanwhile a third posted: "Imagine [if] all mothers had access to services like this."
However, many backed the mum's use of a night nanny, saying the maintenance of a mother's health and mental health is important.
"The amount of young mothers I know would maintain healthier lives if they could afford this," one wrote.
Some of the nastier comments were deleted.
Bright later responded explaining that motherhood isn't a competition for who struggles the most and is "proud" of herself for seeking help when she needs it.
"Ask for help," she said. "There's nothing wrong with it."
