"All that nausea only for them to come out looking like their father!"

There's a viral TikTok trend where parents show off their babies with the "ugly baby" tag. The children aren't exactly ugly as the hashtag suggests but often make funny faces. In Lucy Baehr's case, her daughter came out looking like her husband.

Most mothers get upset (jokingly) when their daughters come out looking like their fathers instead of them. There's no way to guarantee a child would look like either parent - that's a gamble you must take.

Baehr Shows Off Her Daughter

Baehr's post showed her daughter at different stages of her childhood, from the birthing to her early days. The young girl is the spitting image of her father, and he seems pleased with the result.

The TikToker showed a special bonding moment between father and daughter, which showed her followers the person's face the baby took. In her caption, Baehr explained that her daughter had "quite the glow-up," meaning she's more beautiful now.

The top comment on the post said the little girl is her father's daughter about her looks. Others weren't so kind with their words as they made jokes about the baby's appearance. Someone likened her to Mr. Bean, while another said she looks like a villager.

One person noted that the "ugly baby" comments were only because the child resembled her father.

"Baby just looks like the daddy."

More comments included someone telling Baehr to ask for a refund while another teased that commenter, saying, "stop baby-shaming." One TikTok user said she should blame her husband, while another added that it's a great way to prove her daughter's paternity.

Despite the many jokes about the baby, she got a few compliments too. Someone said the baby gave off calm vibes despite her scrunched face and "mean" look.

The baby girl always gave her mother a "stank" face like Baehr was disturbing her by putting cameras in her face. TikTokers also noticed a disconnect between Baehr and her daughter, with one comment saying,

"Why did you hold her in the 3rd pic as she owed you money."

Subsequent pictures and videos on TikTok showed Baehr's little girl all grown up and having fun with her parents. For the people that chastised her, Baehr left a note on her bio saying she never called her child ugly, and it was a mere inference.
