"Why do people feel they have the right to criticize a parent about their own children without having any facts?? Everybody who has children knows that when they aren't feeling well or have a fever you do what comforts them best and most of the time it's a pacifier so those who criticize think twice about what you say about other people's children because actually you have no right to criticize me as a parent..." Beckham wrote on social media.

Daily Mail in its report had said, 'At four years old, Harper Beckham is well beyond the age that most health experts would advise giving a child a dummy.'

"Last night parenting experts said that David, 40, and Victoria Beckham, 41, risked stunting their daughter's speech and were putting her teeth at risk of damage by letting her continue to use one. Dummies are usually used to soothe and settle restless children and are only recommended for small babies. Some parents use them to stop a child from crying or simply because the habit has become too hard to break," the report added.
