Two Australian mummy bloggers have been criticized by a popular influencer podcast for posting photos of their children’s hospital visits on social media.
Margaux Follis and Georg Woulfe recently posted photos on Instagram showing their children going to the hospital for a medical emergency and were criticized by their followers for sharing the private moment.
Follis shared snaps of her baby daughter Fleur, who was taken away in an ambulance and tied to a hospital bed after suffering a seizure.
’11/5/23 – Probably the scariest day of my life. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on anyone. “You hear about febrile seizures but don’t realize how scary it is until it happens to your own child,” she wrote alongside the photos.
Meanwhile, Woulfe posted something similar in a now-deleted Instagram post.

Identical triplets Amy, Kate and Sophie Taeuber were not impressed and launched a scathing tirade against the mummy bloggers on their Outspoken podcast.
“Margaux is an influencer and to me it seems like she is sharing her children’s content and also she added a million hashtags to the post,” said one sister.
“It’s clear she was trying to get as many people as possible to see this hashtag as insensitive and vulgar.”
Follis’ post quickly riled up her followers, who questioned why she would share such a private moment on social media.

“Children are not happy.” Take a photo of your child in a terrible and vulnerable moment. Don’t your children deserve privacy?’ One disgruntled follower sniffed.
However, Margaux would have none of it and immediately responded with a snarky comment: “That’s totally fine, baby. “Your life will be much better without my “toxic” content.”
Margaux added that she wasn’t having a “photo shoot” and was posting the hospital photos to “raise awareness of the dangers of febrile seizures.”
The Taeubers did not accept that explanation and said a better way to “raise awareness” of young children’s illness was to release the photos much later, when the child had been safely discharged from the hospital.
