Talking to NZME, the funnywoman said she and her partner Pip Brown - aka Ladyhawke - decided to try and hide their daughter's face from the media.
Sami says it was "pretty awful" to have the photographers from the magazine try and take that choice away from them.
"Babies are just innocent little people that haven't asked for anything like that yet," she told NZME.
"The bloody Woman's Day followed us around and papped us a few months ago, which was really upsetting."
Sami is not the only one to condemn Woman's Day for alleged invasions of privacy.
In 2015, All Black Dan Carter and wife Honor slammed the magazine for publishing "unauthorised" photos of their son.
Carter's agent, Simon Porter, confirmed the magazine had been asked not to publish photos of the Carters' children in future, and told 1 News the family was "disappointed" the incident had taken place.
Dance star and choreographer Parris Goebel also condemned the magazine for what she called "exploiting" her mental health struggles.
"I have never felt so exploited in my career. I am so disgusted and disappointed," Goebel wrote on Instagram.
"'Suicidal to Superstar... Parris Goebel's shocking confessions'. Wow, how insensitive and what a sad way to portray a painful part of my life to try and sell your magazine!"
Former supermodel Rachel Hunter and netball star Maria Tutaia have also hit out at Woman's Day in recent years for allegedly misleading articles.
