Okay, you can post this, Mom.It's been scientifically proven: Parents love posting photos of their kids on Facebook. And who can blame them? Kids are cute; they're something to be proud of. Who wouldn't want to show them off?
Thing is, though, not all photos of your child should make their way on to Facebook. Not only for the sake of others who could give a rat's, but for the sake of your child, who may not, in 14 years, want a photo of themselves wearing nothing but a few strands of sauce-tinged spaghetti on the Internet.
So, what do you say, Moms and Dads? What do you say we use a little bit of discretion when uploaded pictures of our little ones to Facebook? What do you say we don't post these five types of photos?
Naked photos. Now when I say naked photos, I mean naked photos. A picture of your adorable newborn taking his or her first bath, all sudsed up, is one thing, a photo featuring their penis or vagina is another.
Graphic delivery room photos. The birth of your baby is a moment unlike any other in the entire universe. Nothing is that special. So why not cherish it by not posting it for 1,100 people to see?
Photos of your baby's poop. I'm not sure if anyone actually does this, but I thought it was worth mentioning as a precautionary measure.
Photos of other people holding your baby -- without getting the other person's permission. I'm a big believer in the "ask before you post" policy. Not everyone likes pictures of themselves splayed across the Internet. And if you just can't resist posting, for the love of God, don't tag them.
A million photos of the same thing. As a new mom, I'm slowly learning that my daughter's expression may look different in all 23 photos of her laying on her play mat to me, but to others, same difference.
What types of photos do you not want to see on Facebook?

It's your FB, do what you want with it. I post the pic's I want on my FB. The pictures that bother me are the dance moms who have their 8 or 9 y/os in full makeup and tiny costume in "sexy" poses before and after their competitions. I get it, you are proud of your daughter but I would be very scared to have my daughter's pic being looked at by a pedophile. It's the same dance moms that will post pics of these girls in bikinis when they go to the pool, or in cute outfits but the lil girls know how to pose from being in dance. It's not that the lil girl is bad or the mom is a bad mom, it's just that you never know who amongst your friends list or their friends is a pedophile.
Pictures of miscarried babies!! Or you holding a dead baby and smiling?? I was totally freaked out by this!!! That photo will haunt me for life! I get that everyone greives differently, but facebook is not the place to post those
Photos of injuries, not nice. Also photos of very sick kids.. unless they have a purpose, but even then I don't think it is appropiate.
Photos of anyone doing that duck lips pose or looking "sexy", hahhaa!!!
If you're in a picture holding my baby, I'm going to post it. I don't care. That's what I take pictures for. Lol. But I've never met anyone who cared.
As for delivery room photos, we have a couple and they're not graphic. I mean, she's not cleaned up yet in one of them but it's in black and white so you can't tell anyway.
..people post poop pictures?
I feel a little mean saying this, but at the same time I know it's probably more common than people like to admit.
The only kids I like, and am interested in are the ones that are MINE, or otherwise directly biologically related to me. Good for you you have your own bundle of joy, but honestly I don't care. Pre pregnancy I would look at strangers babies and childeren with disgust, (why do other peoples kids always seem louder and dirtier than those actually related to you?) post pregnancy I don't give a flying monkey about anybody elses either as I'm too busy looking after and loving my own. I'm not interested in the umptieth picture of others babies in the exact same pose, expresion, and outfit as the one before.
I'm cool with the fact the same is true of other people looking at my kid (hence why I don't spam people with baby pics, birth and parenthood is life changing to us as individuals, but to the rest of our FB and IRL friends alike it's just another day, and "will that mom shut her brat up already?" That's just life.
What annoys me is when family steal your photos off your computer (all 300 + of them) of you son and post them where everyone on facebook can see them and then expect you to not get mad?? My husband’s entire family retaliated against me because I said something to my husband’s uncles - wife- for having my sons pictures as public. I got to the point I had to delete the entire family as well as all of my sons photos. Never again will I post a pic of my kid on facebook. I guess they either didn’t or won’t understand that this is my son and I don’t want pedophiles looking at my son!
