If you're going to criticise Chrissy Teigen for her choice to post a breastfeeding photo on Instagram, then you're best off doing it away from the social media.

Otherwise you may find yourself being called out by the Twitter Queen herself.

On Sunday, Teigen shared the following image of herself breastfeeding her baby Miles.

At the time of writing, that photo has been liked almost three million times. Apparently not everyone was a fan, though.

"I think its perfectly fine for women who breast feed in public," someone replied, in a now-deleted tweet. "They are doing it because they need to. When you post on social media that you are doing it, it comes across as narcissistic though."

Teigen didn't hold back with her response.

It didn't finish there, either. After someone suggested that anyone who doesn't like Teigen's tweets can just unfollow her, somebody else got the President involved.

This time, Teigen's response was a 2-for-1.
