Jana Kramer isn't here for your mommy shaming. The actress and country singer — and her husband, Michael Caussin — fired back after they got hate on social media over their decision to sleep train their infant son, Jace.
The saga began on Tuesday (Jan. 29), after Kramer shared a sweet photo of her 8-week-old son and noted that he is sleeping seven hours a night thanks to the Baby Wise sleep training method, which is detailed in a book of the same name by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam. When followers began criticizing Kramer and Caussin's choice, the couple sounded off on her Instagram Story.
"All right, trolls. I'm talking to you guys," Kramer begins. "We do not let him scream and cry ... When he cries, we feed him, okay? And if it's not time for him to eat yet, we give him a wubbie ..."

"So get off my page. Stop being trolly," she continues. "We're taking very good care of our baby. He looks pretty happy to me."
Caussin backs up his wife: "Back off! Leave us alone. Do you, let us do us!" he says, before Kramer concludes, "Do you, boos. We're doing us."
Kramer's latest battle with mommy-shamers is far from her first: Earlier in January, the artist admitted that she feels judged for choosing to bottle-feed Jace.

"It's just frustrating when women [are told] breast milk is the best. I understand that — [they] don’t need to tell me something that I [already] know," she says. "But I also don’t need to explain to [them] why it's either not working or we're not doing it or we chose not to. I don't know why we feel like we have to explain."
Kramer gave birth to baby Jace in late November. He joins big sister Jolie Rae, who was born in early 2016.
