Carlin Ashamed of Navy’s Infantile Hemangioma?

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed Carlin’s questionable actions toward baby Navy. According to the OP, Carlin is noticeably covering up Navy’s birthmark on her head. Carlin previously revealed in a vlog that baby Navy had a spot on her head, adding that it was getting bigger. She initially thought that it was her fault, but the doctor told them that it was an infantile hemangioma. Some question why Carlin had to cover it, all while sharing almost everything about her children.

• “Ironic that they protect the Internet from seeing it but don’t protect the kids from swim suit videos and ballet outfits for chomos to get hold of. GENIUS CARLIN GENIUS.”
• “ridiculous to hide a baby’s birthmark…..now I get why she constantly has Navy in hats….SmH…”
• “Carlin knows what she’s doing. Probably her idea. Bet Evan could care less.”
• “She doesn’t want to deal with questions or remarks. The mark doesn’t fit her aesthetic.”
• “I swear they are always intentionally covering up Navy’s birth mark. They can’t have any “Imperfections “ Not that a birth mark is by any means, but you know they think it is.”
• “lol and THIS is what they think “protecting” their children is….. If they kept the kids offline they wouldn’t have to hide her birthmark.  (Not that it needs to be hidden, I’m just pointing out the ass-backwards logic)”
