Moms boycott popular baby sleep expert for donating $1078 to Trump campaign

Moms boycott popular baby sleep expert for donating $1078 to Trump campaign

Outrage as baby sleep guru with 1.3m Instagram followers gets canceled by 'psychologically fragile' Twitterati - after rival revealed she'd donated $1,078 to Trump campaign. What next? Will Democrats force Republicans to hang yellow sign on their cloths and lock them in concentration camps?

A baby sleep guru is facing a boycott after a rival revealed she donated over $1,000 to Donald Trump's campaigns.

Cara Dumaplin - the creator of the popular 'Taking Cara Babies' Instagram account - gave a total of $1,078 to The Make America Great Again Committee and Donald J. Trump For President Inc, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Dumaplin is an Arizona-based neonatal nurse who has amassed more than 1.3 million followers on social media where she provides parents with techniques to send their young children to sleep.

She also runs a series of popular sleep classes retailing for up to $319, which have been endorsed by thousands of satisfied parents.

But on Tuesday, rival 'baby product expert' Jamie Grayson took to Twitter to share screenshots showing that Dumaplin had donated to Donald Trump.

The images included her personal home address.

It's unclear what motivated Grayson to share the screenshots, but they soon sparked a frenzied response on social media, with some calling for Dumaplin to be cancelled.

Former Jimmy Kimmel Live writer Bess Kalb appeared shocked by the revelation, writing: 'A woman who sells exhausted parents the Ferber method uses our money to support an openly corrupt sexual predator whose policies directly hurt children including border separation, NRA-funded gun measures for schools, and cutting $2 billion from CHIP.'

Another wrote: 'Does Cara Dumaplin have a guide for how to make babies sleep in cages? What a disgusting person...'

A third chimed in: 'I'm late to the party, but I just learned tha #takingcarababies is a MAGA-loving Nazi sympathizer so please, please, please unfollow her on social media and share. F**k her truly, madly, deeply.'

However, there were hundreds of others who took issue with the doxing and attempted shaming of a woman who had simply donated to a political figure.

However, there were hundreds of others who blasted the attempt to shame Dumaplin for her political persuasions


'If you got your baby to sleep using these methods, the baby is now cancelled. i'm sorry it has come to this,' New York Times opinion writer Elizabeth Bruenig wrote, appearing to mock cancel culture and implying that the political persuasions of a sleep expert were irrelevant.

Another concurred, writing: 'I voted against Trump in both the Republican primary and in two general elections, but if I were a parent, I think the primary question I'd be asking is 'does Cara know how to get babies to sleep?' and not 'who did Cara support in the presidential election?'''

'Well I think folks who are so psychologically fragile that this matters to them should consider not being parents, you deal with a lot tougher things raising kids than this,' another popular tweet read.

Elsewhere others claimed that they had never heard of Dumaplin prior to the controversy, and said they were now motivated to check out her tips and classes.

One woman pointed out that several critics were claiming Dumaplin was 'white supremacist' while simultaneously mocking her surname,

Dumpalin's husband is Fillipino pediatrician Ludwig Dumaplin

'Umm can people stop making fun of Cara Dumaplin's surname? If you're gonna call her out for being racist, then don't make racist comments about the surname of her immigrant Filipino husband,' they wrote.

In a statement provided to media, Dumaplin confirmed that she made the donations to the Trump campaigns, but did not cave to critics by offering an apology.

''Between 2016 and 2019, I made a series of donations (totaling $1,078) to the Trump campaign.

'As with many citizens, there were aspects of the Trump Administration that I agreed with and some that I disagreed with. I will continue to serve all parents by empowering them with the tools they need to help their babies sleep,' she stated.
