NextImg:I give my baby a fake tan — people say I’m a ‘disgusting’ mom

He has his mother’s eyes and gets his glowing skin from a bottle.

A mother has divided users on TikTok after claiming she uses fake tans on her infant — preferring him with a golden glow.

The mom, Kylen Suttner, 21, uploaded the short clip to TikTok, writing she gives her son a sun-kissed look to match her tan.

“When everyone is telling me to stop self-tanning my baby but the loving tan employees have families to feed,” she joked in the video, holding up her baby boy, Suede, who she gave birth to in December 2022, up to the camera.

Although it doesn’t appear Suttner was being serious, her video, which has been viewed 998,000 times divided viewers.

The Post has contacted Suttner for comment.

“Disgusting! So horrible,” one irate user commented.

However others saw the video as a joke.

“I love this,” laughed another. “I wish I had his skin color.”

In another comment, a user explained her baby has jaundice and sometimes looks yellow in color, so Suttner joked he’s tanning.

“It def is lol bc ppl say her baby has jaundice all the time so she said no she just tans him (as a joke),” the user explained.

According to American Pregnancy.org, many tans in a bottle are safe to use when pregnant, although they do recommend testing it on a patch of skin first.

“Your skin may be more sensitive and irritable during pregnancy,” the site noted.

The only concern of using fake tan during pregnancy is if the active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), is able to penetrate the skin.

“Studies do not confirm that it can, but some health care providers encourage women to wait until after the first trimester, just to play it safe,” the site said, adding DHA been used in cosmetics since 1960 and no problems have been reported.

The midwife from UK site BabyCentre said fake tan won’t hard your baby if you use them as a mousse, lotion, cream, water, oil or wipe. 

“As your skin renews itself, the fake tan fades as the skin naturally sheds its cells,” they said.
