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 been scientifically proven: Parents love posting photos of their kids on Facebook, Its been "SCIENTIFICALLY" proven? SERIIOUSLY. Come on now. Thats a little dramatic.. i doubt there was anything SCIENTIFIC about posting pictures on social media. All parents use some form of social media as a live brag book. Get the fuck over it. If your childless frends dont like it they dont have to look, they can remove you from the news feed or delete you all together. as far as what to post and not to post. ill post whatever the hell i want, its my facebook and my kids. Granted im not gonna go flashing their privates all over facebook..but thats just comomn sence.
Why does everyone think that posting pics on facebook is so much worse then printing them. Do you know how many pedophiles work at the photo center! Any picture could get into the wrong hands so don't take pictures of something you don't want other people to see plain and simple. As for the other stuff i agree with most people on here that it is your facebook to post what you want and anyone who has a problem with what you post that is not about them is a little self-absorbed! Did it ever cross your mind that the mom posting those photos puts them up for people who actually care not you?
I also don't like the latest trend in posting pictures or videos online of a kid being punished. Aside from the guy who shot his daughter's computer, I have seen videos and pics of kids holding up embarassing signs stating their misdeeds. It seems awfully embarassing for a kid to have pics of them being punished posted online and they will be online forever. When these kids are adults their future potential employers, landlords, room mates, friends, co-workers and so-on will all be able to see what they did when they were a kid. I also think it detracts from whatever message the parent is trying to send to the kid, there are better ways to deal with bad behavior. Just my thoughts!
