"Counting On" star Jill Duggar Dillard and her husband Derick are under fire after a picture of them and their baby, Samuel Scott, went viral. The photo shows Jill and Derick enjoying a meal, while Samuel Scott is lying on the floor.

The photo was uploaded on Facebook with the caption, "Just drop the baby on the floor and go eat! A baby bouncer might be more comfortable." The couple were then criticized by netizens and many of them are also mothers. One comment indicated that the couple could have had placed a blanket underneath Samuel or placed him in a baby bouncer. However, there are also people who indicated that nothing was wrong with the baby lying on the floor.

Samuel Scott is the eighth grandchildren of the Duggar clan and is little brother to 2-year-old Israel David.

There are still no comments from Jill and Derick about the issue. Jill also posted a picture of her and Samuel together with the caption, "Love my little cuddle baby! #samuelscottdillard." Derrick also posted a picture on his Instagram account of Samuel's dedication service. Derick wrote, "This morning was Samuel's dedication service! It is not for his salvation, but served as a time when we publicly committed to raise him in a way pleasing to the Lord, Jesus Christ."

Jill also sparked a stir among her fans after posting a photo of her with the children and what appears to be a nose ring on Instagram. Several comments were from fans who were surprised to see the piercing. But there are also some people who showed their support for Jill's decision. One individual wrote, "it looks cute on you girl, got mine almost 4 months ago and I love it." 

More news and updates on Jill and Derrick Dillard should arrive soon.
