Influencer Abby Howard responded to criticism from «mom shamers», - clarifying the difference between genuine concern and judgment. In her Instagram Stories on October 13, she addressed safety questions that arose after she appeared in public wearing a plastic poncho with her seven-week-old son Fisher, who was attached to her under her clothing during a trip to Disneyland.
«I just want everyone who is worried to know that my poncho has no sleeves, so air circulates well to the baby», - Howard wrote. She added that she was constantly checking on how the baby was feeling and did not want him to get wet. In her next post, she emphasized that there is a difference between genuine concern for safety and judging mothers, urging people to recognize this.
Abby Howard shares the care of Fisher, as well as her sons Griffin (4 years) and August (3 years), with her husband Matt Howard. The couple welcomed Fisher in August after previously experiencing a miscarriage. On Instagram, Matt announced the joyful event, noting that they are enjoying a new chapter in their lives as a family of five.
In August 2025, they announced that they were expecting their third child, but a month later, they reported a miscarriage. In their statement, they expressed deep sorrow and gratitude for the time spent with their daughter, who did not survive to birth.
