Paris Hilton's parenting skills have once again become a topic of discussion after a recent TikTok clip featuring her swimming with her son, Phoenix, caught the attention of many online.
The video captures a seemingly perfect moment: Paris is seen gently bouncing her baby in what appears to be a lazy river, with Phoenix smiling and enjoying the water.

While the video seems heartwarming and safe at first glance, a number of parents noticed a common mistake. Paris had put Phoenix’s life jacket on backwards. Typically, such life vests are designed with a large floatation device meant to be worn on the front, ensuring the child remains face-up in the water. In the clip, however, Phoenix's life jacket had the floaty part on his back.
This isn't the first time Paris has faced public scrutiny over her parenting. Yet, the response from TikTok users was notably compassionate and supportive. Instead of harsh criticism, many parents offered gentle corrections and shared their own experiences of making similar mistakes. The consensus was clear: they simply wanted to help Paris ensure Phoenix’s safety.
Paris’s openness to feedback has been evident before. Earlier in the month, followers pointed out that her children's car seats were facing the wrong way. Paris not only corrected the issue promptly but also thanked her fans for their helpful advice.
This incident highlights a broader theme of community and support among parents online. Mistakes happen, especially for new parents, and the online community can play a positive role in providing constructive advice.
