Camila Coelho, 35, shared a series of snaps with her seven-month-old son Kai from Paris with her 10 million followers on Instagram.
The photos show the pair posing on a balcony of Hôtel Plaza Athénée with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Camila, wearing a pink jumper and jacket, can be seen beaming with her arm around Kai, donning an all grey outfit.
She captioned the post: “Kai’s first time in PARIS! So happy to be back (for PFW) and spend my birthday tomorrow here with him and hubby.”
But many of her followers were stunned by how Camila had positioned her son for the camera during their trip to Paris for the city’s Fashion Week earlier this year.
Dozens called the mum out for putting the youngster “in danger”.
One Instagram user commented: “How far can you go for likes?
“Yes you are in Paris and yes, you have a view. No need to put a baby on the edge of a balcony”.
A second said: “This picture makes me so nervous!
“Don’t put the baby on the balcony please.”
While a third replied: “Really? So dangerous just for a photo.”
And a fourth raged: “Please remove these photos. Kids are not accessories.”
Some of Camila’s followers even likened the incident to when Michael Jackson held his son Blanket over a balcony in 2002.
The late pop star was forced to apologise after footage of him dangling his infant son from a hotel in Berlin high above a crowd of fans on the street below was splashed across the worth.
Another two photos in the post showed Camila lifting Kai in the air on the balcony.
The Brazilian influencer appears to have so far ignored the tirade of backlash she received over the photo she posted on February 26, which remains on her page.
The Sun has reached out to Camila for comment.
