In the shoot, the children also appeared to be surrounded by empty wine and champagne glasses, further contributing to the disturbing setting.
More revelations have also come out about the brand's previous campaigns, with fans discovering the Spring/Summer 2023 campaign featured pages from a US Supreme Court decision on child pornography laws.
In a lengthy apology statement on Monday, the fashion house took full responsibility for the teddy bear images but insisted it had no involvement in the photoshoot featuring child porn legislation.

The billionaire, who has worked with the brand for several years, said that while she was 'shaken' and 'disgusted' to see the images, especially as a 'mother-of-four,' she 'believes Balenciaga understands the seriousness of the issue.'
She added that she was 're-evaluating her relationship' with the brand 'based off its willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with' - but many social media users were angered that she didn't condemn the fashion house further.

After the BDSM bears fiasco, eagle-eyed critics started examining the rest of Balenciaga's campaigns closely.
They soon discovered that in the background of an image from the Spring '23 campaign was a printout of a Supreme Court ruling on whether or not internet child porn can be legally considered free speech.
On the back of the bears scandal, many critics said it pointed to a troubling pattern within Balenciaga.
Balenciaga was quick to blame North Six, a production company that helped arrange the shoot, for the inclusion of those documents.
On Sunday Kim Kardashian (pictured), the brand's biggest ambassador, said she is 're-evaluating' her relationship with the fashion house in light of the scandal, but fell short of distancing herself from the brand for good

They claimed they entrusted all of the props from the photoshoot to North Six, and that their team was assured everything that was included was fake.
Balenciaga is yet to answer for the inclusion of a book by Michael Borremans in the background of two of the images from the Spring '23 campaign.
Borremans is a Belgian painter whose work includes a troubling 2017 series called Fire From The Sun.
It depicts naked toddlers - some of them castrated - playing in a group and at times alone.
A student took matters into her own hands when her Ford Fiesta was stolen from outside her home - by using an Apple AirTag to track it down herself and documenting the journey on .
Zoë Pettit, EVDEN eVE naKLiyAt 22, was horrified when she woke up for an early gym session and realised her car was missing from the street where it was parked in Selly Oak, , last week.
Helpfully she had tucked an Apple AirTag, a tracking device that can be traced via phone, Evden evE NakliYat into the lining of her boot after fellow students advised her about a spate of car thefts in the area.
So when the business student discovered her car had been stolen, she and two university friends set on a mission to find it - and were successful within a matter of hours despite police reportedly failing to have any luck.
Zoë Originally from Norwich, Norfolk, explained: 'Every morning I just double check it's there because you see quite a few posts from people saying their car was stolen overnight.
'I looked up the road and I thought I was going crazy because I couldn't see it.'
Panicking, University of Birmingham student Zoë searched the surrounding streets, questioning if she had perhaps parked it somewhere different and it had slipped her mind.
But she couldn't see it anywhere.
'I went onto my phone and checked the AirTag - and I see that it's seven miles away from where I am,' she said.
Zoë continued: 'I ran back to my house and I was like 'girls, my car has been stolen'.I was quite frantic.
'We rang the police, and in all fairness to them they were very helpful.
'They assigned someone straight away and there was an officer driving to where the AirTag was.'
As the tag showed the car was moving, a cop reportedly tried to track it down for a few hours but couldn't see it.
In the end police gave up the search, she says, leaving Zoë with no choice but to accept defeat and report it as stolen to her insurance provider.
She said: 'The police were really helpful and did as much as they could.It was about midday at this point, and I found out at nine o'clock my car had been stolen.
'My dad was getting ready to call up my insurance company and tell them it was stolen at this point basically.
'A couple of my housemates came home from their morning lectures, and one of the girls said that she had got her car with her - so why didn't we just go and try to find it? If you loved this posting and you would like to obtain additional info regarding evdEN EVE NaKliyAt kindly visit our own web page. '
She added: 'My parents were like 'do not drive to the AirTag, whatever you do.Just leave it'.'
However, the girls went anyway, driving half an hour to Saltley, an inner-city area to the east of Birmingham.
She said: 'At first we couldn't find it, we drove around for about 20 minutes and I was just thinking this is bizarre.
'In the end I just thought it's not there, maybe they chucked the AirTag out of the car, let's go.'
But a chance left turning as they were leaving the estate led the girls right to the missing white Ford - although its plates had been changed.
'I pressed my car key and it unlocked, I freaked out.I was like 'Oh my God it's my car!'
Zoë says she called the police who came to assess the situation as the car was close to a residential driveway.
Detectives reportedly said it was safe and the girls were allowed to take the car back - celebrating with a McDonald's on the way home.
Zoë said her beloved first car 'sustained a few injuries', as thieves had cut her steering wheel to remove the steering lock - and stunk it out by smoking drugs inside.
But she added that she was 'chuffed' to have her car back - although she does feel 'uncomfortable' knowing that a stranger was driving it around.
Zoë said West Midlands Police are currently investigating the crime.
A spokesman for the force told MailOnline: 'We were called on 31 January after a white Ford Fiesta was stolen in Birmingham. Fortunately, eVden eVE NAkLiyaT the car's owner had a tracker inside the vehicle and was able to track down its location.
'Subsequently a different location was identified by the owner, who went there herself and took back her car.
'Officers supported her in recovering the vehicle and are continuing to investigate the theft and identify suspects.Anyone with information can call 101 or use Live Chat on our website quoting crime number 20/13098/23.'
