Later in the day, Tori posted a photo of Josiah in a white onesie in her arms.

The newborn had his eyes closed and his tongue out as he took a quiet nap in his mom's arms.
Tori captioned the post: "Aaaand now for snuggles."
The sweet snaps came after Tori clapped back at trolls slamming her for "bad parenting."
The LPBW star has been accused of making ill-advised parental decisions by fans in the past.

Tori fired back at the prying fans during an Instagram Q&A when her two-year-old daughter, Lilah, was mentioned.
A concerned fan stated: "I'm worried about Lilah and her language skills."
Tori sarcastically answered: "Don't be. Got it under control."
The mom-of-three went on to explain about the "one thing that's so frustrating with sharing our lives on social media."
She disclosed it is when people discuss or debate her and husband Zach Roloff's kid's medical history.
Tori and Zach's three children all have a common form of dwarfism.
The TV star continued: "People don't think we have doctors or people that we trust in our lives with our kid's health."
Tori concluded: "We've got it under control. Trust me."
SAFETY FIRST
It would seem that some fans disagree with her statement as both Tori and Zach faced backlash over what fans called a dangerous parenting move during a car ride with Jackson.
The parents came under fire for improperly buckling the young boy into his car seat.
In a scene from a recent episode, Zach took his kids to grab some food from Sonic.
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot that his oldest child wasn't correctly strapped into his booster chair.
While one strap was looped poorly across the top of the seat and underneath his arms, the other was nowhere to be seen.
FAN REACTION
Viewers raced to fan pages to complain about the mishap, slamming the couple for their negligence.
"Yesterday’s episode showed Jackson in a high back booster wearing his seatbelt improperly. Shouldn’t he still be in a 5 point harness? All I kept thinking about was how fast he would fly out in an accident," one wrote, opening up the conversation.
"They let the kids bounce around untethered in that Mule on the farm," a second reminded.
A third remarked: "Blows my mind when people just do not care about their kids' safety. It only takes one, not ever major, wreck to seriously hurt a kid in the wrong seat."
"They're lazy and reckless. I hate when people don't take car seat safety seriously," a fourth scathed.
LIVING ON THE EDGE
Fans also ripped Tori for letting Lilah out of her sight after putting her in a high-risk situation.
She had placed her daughter on the kitchen counter and turned to get something out of the cabinet.
Lilah was sitting on the counter, unattended, with balloons and decorations around her for her birthday.
Tori then had her back turned towards Lilah as she sat down to talk to her husband's dad, Matt.
Lilah's grandfather and dad were in the same room, but they would have been too far to catch her if she fell.
She did turn around at one point to hand Lilah food, but then turned her back towards her again.
Then, Jackson woke up from his nap and Tori put him on the counter to stand with his bare feet, but took him down very quickly.
'YIKES!'
Fans were furious after they saw what happened and took to the platform to comment on it.

One fan wrote: "Who the heck leaves a toddler sitting on a counter with their back turned? My heart was in my throat this whole scene. Maybe Lilah just doesn't move around but yikes!"
Another commented: "My husband walked into the room during this scene and immediately asked why she was on the counter like that."
