When Kylie Jenner shared a cute picture of herself cradling baby Stormi, she couldn't have predicted the backlash it would cause.

Twitter blew up on Wednesday after the 20-year-old reality star posted the photo, featuring her lengthy tangerine colored fake nails.

But source close to the new mom has defended her parenting of the one-month-old.

'She absolutely gets her hands dirty changing diapers on the regular and makes sure Stormi is eating and sleeping enough,' they told PEOPLE.

In the first publicly released photograph of Kylie Jenner and her baby girl, the reality star decided to keep things casual.

As a new mum, we expect Kylie is just like every other and loungewear is her go-to. Here she is wearing a hoodie and joggers by Alexander Wang, which are actually part of the brand's menswear line. Maybe borrowed from Travis Scott?

However, the set still makes a statement thanks to its autumnal leaf print and oversized silhouette. We are particularly fond of the hoodie as we can see ourselves throwing this on with jeans and trainers when running errands – especially in the current chilly weather!

A source came to the new mom's rescue when they told PEOPLE that 'she absolutely gets her hands dirty changing diapers on the regular and makes sure Stormi is eating and sleeping enough'

Fans were floored that the Life of Kylie star even has time to put on makeup on with the responsibility of taking care of an infant.

Many saw her lengthy nails as reason to call her a bad mother.

'Don't want to be a b****, but the length go Kylie Jenner's nails tell me all I need to know about her parenting or lack there of,' said one Twitter user.

And others just aren't convinced that it is possible to change a dirty diaper with claws like that.

'I want to know how she changes her babes diaper with two inch nails and I struggle with not getting poo under my millimeter nails,' said one bewildered mother in a tweet.

While Jenner has enlisted the help of several nannies and assistants, the source told PEOPLE that 'she's a really great mom,' and that 'she's incredibly hands-on.'

A source who recently talked with E! News gave the media outlet an update on Kylie's first few weeks post birth.

'It's been a big adjustment for Kylie, but she's loving be a mom and watching all of the little things that Stormi is doing each day. She's exhausted and emotional, but she's also completely in love.'

Kylie recently admitted she couldn't stop staring at her baby and has noticed a resemblance to herself in her little one.

When asked by a fan on Twitter how Stormi is doing, Kylie replied: 'She's good, still staring at her all day.'

'Don't want to be a b****, but the length go Kylie Jenner's nails tell me all I need to know about her parenting or lack there of,' said one Twitter user

Kylie's partner Travis Scott, 25, seems to be just as in love with his little girl.

He displayed his parental pride on social media, when he took to Snapchat to share a shot of Stormi sporting a pink sweater bearing the word 'Daddy' inside a heart.

Captioning the image, he wrote: 'My lil mama 1 month today... her favorite unit of course.'
