Jessica Simpson caught some unexpected backlash on Monday, when she appeared on Katie Couric's new show with a photo of her four-month-old daughter, Maxwell Drew Johnson, wearing a bikini.

The new mom and Weight Watcher's spokeswoman appeared on 'Katie' to discuss her recent pregnancy and weight struggles; however, she is now facing criticism from Internet users and a British child welfare charity after sharing the photo of her daughter wearing a homemade crochet bikini over a diaper,.
'Motherhood is a dream,' Simpson told Couric on the show. 'It really is absolutely amazing. [Maxwell] had her first flight yesterday. Did not sleep! She didn't cry. She just wanted to babble.'

As the photograph of Maxwell was shown on the TV show, Simpson exclaimed, 'She's posing!' -- at which the audience 'awed' and Simpson added, 'It's her very first time to put on a bikini.'

In an interview with the New York Daily News, Couric defended her choice to have Simpson as her first guest on the show. 'We wanted to use [Monday's show] as an opportunity to help people. We saw that Jessica hadn't done any [interviews] and the struggle with her weight was something that I think a lot of women can relate to.''Jessica was refreshing, honest and charming,' added Couric.

But not everyone agreed about showing the baby in a bikin.
