How can I politely ask my family to not post baby photos on social media, until I have done so first! Thanks!

We have downloaded the family album app and told everyone to download it and to post photos on there for the time being until we are ready to post on social media xx

Exactly the way you’ve just said it. Ask them to respect your wishes and privacy that you will be the first to post. If they aren’t willing to do this, don’t allow photos to be taken. It’s about your family now, not them🙂

We’ve sent messages to our close friends and my family saying that we have decided that we do not want any pictures of our little one or any of his details on social media at all. We just said “with little one on the way soon, we just thought we would let you know that we have decided not to share pictures of X on social media. Please do not post any pictures we share with you. Of course we will send pictures to you but politely request that you do not post any details” and everyone has been lovely about it!

I’ve told family not to tell anyone or post anything until I’m ready to do so. They asked why and I simply explained that I don’t want people knowing straight away, I want to be able to enjoy him myself before others try to! It can be as simple as that!

We sent a message to the family, expressed our wishes to not share or post any photos of baby without our permission, we haven't posted our pregnancy on social media, some people find that strange but we've told the people we wanted to know and didn't feel the need but with the way the world is, I really dont want baby being posted all over the place. We will share what we're comfortable with but some of our family would post everything if they had the chance. If they don't respect it we've said we won't be allowing photos or sending them any, your baby, your choice xx

@Bethany hi Bethany, what app is this please? I have an iPhone not Sure if that makes any difference x
