Some call it skill, some call it bad parenting.  But either way, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi doesn’t care what “some” call her behavior, she’s just trying to share some of her favorite “mom life” moments with her fans.  On Sunday, Snooki shared a photo to Instagram of her downing a glass of red wine while feeding her nearly 2-month-old son Angelo James LaValle.  It’s called balance.  “What’s mom life like with 2 kids and a newborn? THIS,” said the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star.  She also added the hashtags “mom juice” and “I’m a good Mom I swear.”  Luckily, most of her fans had a sense of humor and not a stick up their butt. “You deserve this! Moms need some time to relax!” wrote one user.  Snooki also received some love from her Jersey Shore fam too, of course!  BFF and co-star Jwoww commented with multiple praising hand emojis, while The Situation’s wife Lauren Sorrentino added: “This is skill!” Even Jessie James Decker chimed in, saying “I’m feelin’ this one!” But of course, there’s always that one user who just has to be a buzzkill. In response to one commenter who expressed their (unwanted) concern that Polizzi was drinking alcohol while breastfeeding her son, the reality star quickly clapped back.  “I allow myself to have a few glasses once a week to stay sane with 3 kids,” she wrote.  “I do what’s necessary to clean my milk for my baby. Let a mawma live.”  Oh, and the troll wasn’t a mother or even old enough to actually consume wine. “Keep being 17,” Snooki added at the end.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the safest option is to not drink alcohol while breastfeeding, but having one drink per day likely won’t harm the baby.  We’re sure the reality star knows what’s up because she has already gone through the breastfeeding process with kids Giovanna, 4 and Lorenzo, 6, who she shares with husband Jionni LaValle .   During a recent interview on the Women on Top podcast, Snooki opened up on what it’s like raising her children in the spotlight and how she has had to deal with her fair share of mom-shamers  in the past.  “I always question myself about how much I should share about my kids,” she admitted. “Because it’s going to be in the public eye and everyone’s going to know.” “And I ended up stopping for a little bit just because people on the internet are assholes and everyone is a mom shamer.” “Everyone can do things better than you,” she said, adding that their criticism was too hard to hear, so she stopped posting. “They just give you this unwanted advice that I just couldn’t stand, so I stopped sharing the kids.” However, once she realized she didn’t have to take parental advice from strangers`she quickly began posting again. “I want my babies to always be protected and in this little bubble, but at the same time, they are just such amazing little creatures and I want to share them,” she said. Well, we want to see them!  But next time, try a straw!  One of the best comments from Snooki’s recent wine and dine post came from a mom that actually offered a solid tip. “Next time use a straw! So much easier to reach every last drop of wine!”  View Slideshow: Snooki and Jionni LaValle: A Jersey Romance
