David Beckham has lashed out after critics started commenting about his parenting skills when it comes to daughter Harper. At the age of four, Harper is still using a pacifier.

On Monday, Daily Mail's Jemma Buckley wrote an article entitled, "Why does Harper, four, still use a dummy? Experts warn David and Victoria Beckham's little girl may end up with 'speech or dental issues' if she continues to use one," according to The Inquisitr.

In the article, an expert reportedly said that continued use of the dummy would mean Harper, David and Victoria's fourth child, might get speech or dental issues.

The article which David Beckham angrily fought back also featured photos of Harper and David with Harper using a dummy in her mouth, according to news.com.au.

Since Beckham found himself under attack for his parenting skills, he has taken to Instagram to respond and argue against what the publication is implying.

In David Beckham's Instagram post, he said the Daily Mail had no right criticising his parenting.

 "Why do people feel they have the right to criticize a parent about their own children without having any facts?" wrote the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player.

"Everybody who has children knows that when they aren't feeling well or have a fever you do what comforts them best and most of the time it's a pacifier so those who criticize think twice about what you say about other people's children because actually you have no right to criticize me as a parent..." Beckham continued.

David Beckham and wife Victoria Beckham currently have four children together - Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 12, Cruz, 10, and Harper, 4.

Though it was an expert who the Daily Mail quoted in criticizing Davod Beckham's parenting, other experts wereon Beckham's side, debating that it's up to the celebrity couple how they want their children to be raised.

Experts have since backed the Beckhams in this debate, insisting that it's up to the couple how to raise their children.

Fi Star-Stone, a child expert, was one of the experts on the side of the Bekhams. She tweeted:

Yes dummies used long term daily can damage teeth AND cause speech issues, but in moderation - they are fine! #DummyDebate

I think people need to look at their lifestyle, the stress that little Harper might face with being papped. It's a comfort - it's fine! — Fi Star-Stone (@Childcareisfun) August 10, 2015

Dicsussing Harper dummy sucking: @BBCLondon949 I think in moderation they are fine and we mind our own business!

Of course long term use can cause dental damage/speech issues @BBCLondon949 So can thumb sucking! Would opinions be the same if thumb? — Fi Star-Stone (@Childcareisfun) August 10, 2015

I also think if you are not a parent of little ones, or have never used a dummy for your children it's so, so easy to 'high horse' judge! — Fi Star-Stone (@Childcareisfun) August 10, 2015

My final thought: It is VERY easy to hand out opinions on others parenting skills - but my goodness - is she happy? Yes? Leave the child be! — Fi Star-Stone (@Childcareisfun) August 10, 2015

As for the Daily Mail, they were unavailable for comment, reported Glamour Magazine.
