Kourtney Kardashian responds to backlash over life vest for baby Rocky
Kourtney Kardashian came under fire over neglecting to put her one-year-old son Rocky Thirteen Barker in a life vest during a boat ride in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Idaho state law mandates that 'all children under the age of 14 must wear an approved life jacket when they are aboard a boat 19 feet in length or less whenever the boat is underway or under power'. The 46-year-old reality TV star was slammed by her Instagram followers, with one person commenting: 'Child endangerment per Idaho law.' Another user added: 'Please, please put a life jacket on that sweet babe!' 'Protects her son's face from the internet but doesn't protect him from possibly drowning... priorities,' a third chimed in. Someone else said: 'No life jacket? And the mother of the year award goes to...' On Saturday, Kourtney announced that she had bought a $69.99 Stohlquist 'Infant' life jacket that 'fits' little Rocky. She wrote: 'Good looking out. Honestly, didn't think about some of the dangers. Thank you for making me aware and hopefully this helps make other mommies aware of the dangers of certain types of boating without a life vest.' Criticism: Kourtney's Instagram followers were quick to shame her for not putting a life vest on her son

Kourtney Kardashian Criticized for Breast-Feeding Pic of Rocky, 20 Months, on a Boat Sans Life Vest
UPDATE 8/9/25 5:15 p.m. ET — Kourtney Kardashian responded to her controversial photo of son Rocky forgoing a life vest during a boat trip. "Update: Bought a life vest that fits! Good looking out," she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, August 9, sharing an image of a child's size life jacket from the Stohlquist brand's website. "Honestly, didn't think about some of the dangers. Thank you for making me aware and hopefully this helps make other mommies aware of the dangers of certain types of boating without a life vest." Original story continues below: Kourtney Kardashian's latest breast-feeding photo of her 20-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen, has sparked backlash. "Food for the soul ✨,' Kardashian, 46, captioned an Instagram carousel on Friday, August 8. In the first pic, The Kardashians star breast-fed Rocky while they were sitting on a speedboat on a body of water. (Kardashian welcomed Rocky with husband Travis Barker in November 2023.) Several social media users flooded the comments section, inquiring why neither she nor Rocky appeared to be wearing life jackets. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's Son Rocky Thirteen's Baby Album: Photos 'Please, please put a life jacket on that sweet babe,' one Instagram user wrote, while another added, 'What no life vests? Isn't that against the law???' A third commenter claimed, 'I would consider keeping life vests on anyone under 18 on a boat. I know Idaho is basically lawless, but if that lake were a few miles west in [Washington] it would be the law and for good reason. Let's make fun and safe water time the norm.' Another photo in Kardashian's roundup seemingly indicated that her family had traveled to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The state requires all minors to wear life vests on the water. 'Children 14 and under must wear an approved life jacket when they are aboard a boat 19 feet in length or less whenever the boat is underway or under power,' a statement on the Parks and Recreation department website reads. 'This applies to manually propelled boats such as canoes and rafts in addition to powerboats, sailboats, personal watercraft (jet skis) and fishing float tubes.' Kourtney Kardashian Shares Empowering 'Reminder' About Postpartum Body While Posing in a Bikini Kardashian has not publicly addressed the backlash. Us Weekly has reached out for comment. The Poosh founder did, however, take to her Instagram Stories on Friday to discuss the breast-feeding aspect of the portrait. 'World Breast-feeding Week! 21 months and going strong,' Kardashian wrote via her Instagram Stories. 'I told my baby, we would breast-feed when he was in my tummy every day after doctors told me he probably wouldn't be able to breast-feed.' She continued, 'I prayed about it, and I believed it. Blessed and grateful for this beautiful life and experience together with my baby.' Rocky is Kardashian's fourth child. She also shares sons Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, as well as daughter Penelope, 12, with ex Scott Disick. Barker, 49, also has children from a previous relationship. The Blink-182 drummer coparents Landon, 21, and Alabama, 19, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler and is a father figure to Moakler's 26-year-old daughter Atiana. Solve the daily Crossword
