By Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh |

A?n influencer who boasts close to 10 million followers on Instagram, is remaining silent following excessive backlash over a series of photos she posted to her page where she was standing her baby up on a balcony ledge in Paris.

Camila Coelho, who runs beauty and lifestyle blog under her name, took the photos while in Paris with her seven-month-old son Kai to document his first time in the city จC though followers were unimpressed with the 'dangerous' shots.

"When you care more about the Eiffel Tower being in the shot, than your child's safety! Influencing at all costs," one person commented alongside thousands of fans who told the mum she was 'neglecting' her child.

The post which has over 1.3 million likes is being flooded with more comments about the safety of her child จC though the influencer continues to post similar pictures and videos despite the backlash.

In the original photos Coelho posted she noted that she and her son were in Paris for Paris Fashion Week and as a birthday celebration, "Oh my heart!!! So happy to be back in my favorite city and another birthday จC now next to my little one!?"

In the pics ?the mum is seen standing next to Kai who is propped up and standing on the balcony ledge to her right. In another she is lifting the baby up into the air, close to the ledge which seems to be a number of stories up.

Once uploaded, it didn't take long for fans to call out the influencer for putting her child's safety at risk. ?

"Babies and balconies don't go together. It takes a second for an accident to happen. It's not worth the risk or picture," a woman commented on the photos.

Another said, "Please avoid holding the baby so close to the ledge no matter how careful we are. It's just unexplainably dangerous."

While others accused the mum of putting likes ahead of her role to protect her child.

"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. In some countries I think you can be accused of neglecting your baby. Please stop monetizing pics with your child!!" one person commented.

"Kids are not accessories!" another wrote.

Followers also flocked to the post to demand she remove the photos as they may give other mums the wrong idea, "You are my favourite fashion blogger and I'm sure you were in control, but there will be other wannabe bloggers who will try to recreate this imagine and potentially put their babies at risk."

?Though despite the backlash, the influencer has remained silent on the issue จC and has continued to post more photos and videos doing the exact same thing with her son.

In a video posted just six days later the mum is holding her baby in one arm while sipping out of a mug with the other, and leaning off the edge of another balcony in Paris.
