Posting pics, yay or nay?

So I would like some advice. My husband and I agreed to not post pictures of our baby on social media after she’s born a while ago. My reasons are I have extended family members who I honestly don’t care for to ever meet my baby and there’s a certain someone who is to NEVER see or meet her. My worry is that if I post pics of her, someone in my family will share it and show that certain someone. I know that boundaries will be broken by some family members so I would rather eliminate the risk by not posting her at all. That being said, my husband told me today he was rethinking our decision and wants to only post her on insta where we both have more control over who sees her. I don’t have a lot of family following me and my account is private but at the same time, it’s not guaranteed that someone won’t screenshot and send her picture to someone else, causing a chain reaction. He wants me to think it over but I think I’m sticking with my decision to not, until she’s old enough to make her own decision to put herself out there. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance

I don't think there is a good reason for posting those pics on insta. Especially in your situation. We keep our kids pics off social media entirely. And my family is mostly sane. You can always text or email pictures to people that you feel are safe to share that kinda thing with. It is so much easier to tell people don't post the baby's picture online. Instead of hoping they remember what platforms are okay.

Why don’t you not post her at all? Sounds like it would save a lot of worry for you both keeping her off social media xx

My husband and I post nothing and have been very clear with family and friends that nothing is to be shared. Our little one is too young to give consent to having her image shared x

We don’t post our LO’s face on social media, and instead created a what’s app group with handpicked family members where we share photos. The caveat was that any photos shared in the group cannot be sent or posted anywhere. If anyone violates that, they’re out

We don’t post pics xx

This is social media, the picture must get to who you are avoiding someday, somehow, so it's best if you avoid it till ur baby is older

We don’t post at all. We just send odd pictures to certain people who we know will share,we choose these pics carefully. Other family would never share pictures so they get sent more

Once you post on social, you have no control over the image anymore. I don’t post my kids online. There are other ways to share photos.

My brother is not to see my daughter. He’s not on Facebook and insta. But I post pics I have extended family that wants pics. I have family in Colorado and Arizona, Massachusetts, my high school best friends.

I think I’ve only posted a photo once but I put an emoji over my son’s face. I didn’t feel comfortable sharing photos after that so I stopped posting. My family also knows they’re not allowed to post.
