I only have a private instagram for family and friends only. I post as cute pictures come along! Lol. As far as others posting, my family all knows to ask me before posting anything. No permission, no post. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

I post pictures of my kids and have no problem with others posting pictures either. I think the kids are probably in more "danger" when I take them out in public, but that doesn't mean we hide at home all the time.

I post baby pics on Facebook sometimes. Only my friends can see them and I have less than 50, all close friends and relatives.

I’m curious!!?? Why do some have a problem with posting their beautiful babies ? I post my son all the time but if I’m missing something PLEASEEEE LET ME KNOWWW !!!!!! šŸ’™ā¤ļø

Naw its just i had other mums going through my fb telling me i had to many pics of my son up .... but it taken me 10 years for him so im very proud of him.

Avatar

personally, i am a person that barely posts pictures of myself let alone of my baby or my family. if you want to post all the pictures in the world then go for it. it's your world. i have too many people i don't know on fb. but my mum does post of my baby & i'm okay with that because my mum knows who is on her fb. & that applies to my spouse too. they know exactly who is on fb. goodluck mama!

Avatar

I do it but don’t like when others do it without my consent. I especially hate when I walk out of the room at home, with baby with family friend or strangers &&& when I come back I see them snapping pictures of my baby. When they see me or hear my footsteps they ALWAYS put the phone away quickly. So secretive... these are people I’ve either never met or people I barely know smh

Avatar

I don’t post my children on social media. I use my fb and ig for business purposes only. I have too many people on there. Some I don’t know. Also I look at it as, if your in my life you’ll see my kids. I don’t mind other people posting their children. that’s their business and they are cute to look at lol

Avatar

I post pics of my babygirl on social media, not all the time but I do. When others do it like other family members I’d appreciate if they asked us first if we’re ok with it before posting. It’s just out of respect, even tho I post her she’s my child but I’d appreciate the thought & consideration of checking if we’re comfortable with them posting her on their social media.

i post pictures of my son on all of my social media accounts. he's pretty much the only thing i post besides yoga lmao.

Avatar

I posted a lot when I had a page, but my settings were private. My family can only privately post my daughter if I even approve them to do so - I don’t know what weirdos they know.

Avatar

I personally don’t and asked my family/friends not to. My husband is a very private person so I try to respect his wishes! We have a shared album in the cloud with our family and friends to share photos ... LOTS of photos lol šŸ˜šŸ’™šŸ‘¶šŸ»

Can I be honest . If I could go back I would never ever ever ever let my MIL post all those pictures of my children . Back then I hardly had a backbone and was a pushover . If I could I wouldn’t allow anybody to post any pictures of my children . I don’t hardly post them at all , but some people (ahem) . Go way overboard posting every single fucking moment ā€œoh look he’s brushing his teethā€ ā€œ look y’all he’s taking a shitā€ ā€œ aw look at her trying to do thisā€ like it’s rediculous. . . I understand Christmas , and all that other shit . But I’m not about to have my kids every single move photographed . For what ? I mean damn . Just a reclusive thing I guess I don’t want pictures of my children all over the internet .

The thing is that the images that you upload online are public for everyone whose wants to take them. Even when you say no and you put privacy on them, the copyright of that picture is now from Facebook (Instagram is fb too), so they can sell them to whoever they want (and they do).
I have a friend whose photo was taken to be used in an article about drugs, and he has never ever even try them! His photo was private on fb, and he didn’t know how it happened, but the page of the article was defaming his photo… So, much of the pictures that you see in underground random advertising are stolen or bough very cheap from fb or people who stolen them to sell them.

That’s a reason for me for not doing it. And the other one is that sometimes there are toxic people surrounding you and doesn’t have anything better to do that judge the crap out off you by the pictures you post. Whatever the picture is in, is a subject to be judged… so that’s it.

I don’t have any pics of DD’s face on social media. I don’t have anything on Facebook, but I have a VERY private Instagram, and I’ll either do the back of her head, face cropped out or blocked out, or just post pics of her feet. I’ve had friends and family post pictures/video of her and I request to have them taken down first from the friend/family member, and if that doesn’t happen quickly, then I will report a privacy violation to Facebook/Instagram. If the kid is younger than 13, the site removes it for you.

I just tell people that we don’t want pictures of her face on social media...because it’s not as much fun they generally just don’t post. So far no one has asked, ā€œWhy?ā€ But if they do, we’ll let them know that there are creepy people out there. I CANNOT BELIEVE how many people I know post pictures of their kids in their underwear. Plus, we want our DD to be the one who dictates and decides her online presence. She can’t do that if we’ve already posted a ton of stuff for her before she’s even talking

Avatar

My hubs and I rarely post pics of the baby on social media. There are some that we absolutely have to share, but her life is not chronicled online. It absolutely pisses me off that people, including family, post up pics of her that we shared privately with them. They don't ask for permission and just do it. Seriously... who does that when we made it perfectly clear not to do it

Avatar

I post most along with updates, except for anything well revealing. So his 1st bath pic its cropped so u only see his face n belly. Both me and my husband just dont like nudity to be shared. I also do monthly status lil home photo shoots of him, some where hes bare bummed are also not shared its more for us while hes this lil.
But the reason i post often is a.) Im quite proud of him and b.) All my friends & family are across the country. Just let ppl know how we are doing

Avatar

I rarely post, and if I do it’s on one app, Instagram, and it’s a story because those expire and disappear. I don’t post many pictures on Instagram of my child either, I have about 3 of her and in one her face isn’t even showing. She’s only 6 months too. I send pictures directly to family and friends over text and that’s it. It’s just how I am. I’m cautious and my parents raised me to not put everything on the Internet, also I don’t particularly enjoy when new parents or parents just spam social media with posts of their children, it gets annoying. I see it as this is my account, and I also have a life besides being a mum so I don’t feel the need to put my daughters face out there all the time, like I said I just value her and our privacy as a family and think it’s more appropriate to enjoy those things to yourselves. Also times are changing and there are weirdos out there and people who don’t care so much for you they just are curious/nosy and I don’t bother entertaining either of those types of people.

Avatar

I also don’t appreciate when others post about me or my family, and my
Family knows how private of a person I am and like to keep things to myself or my select circle, so they don’t post about me without my consent or knowledge.

Avatar

I made my baby his own Instagram lol. Me and my partner post photos of him alllll the time. Only because I’m so obsessed with him! Plus the family can all see them.

Avatar

I post photos of my kids and don't care if anybody else does. However, that choice is 100% up to the parents and everybody else should honor that. No exceptions.

Avatar

I've made a separate Insta for my son, which is very private for family and very close friends. We don't live near our family so it's a nice platform to share daily updates without putting them on my own social media, we share every photo with the date and a silly caption :)

Avatar

All my social media is private and it’s mostly close friends and family. I do not post too much about my LO for safety reasons. I don’t really like other people posting pictures or information just because I don’t know who they are friends with / who their friends are.

Avatar

I don't have a Facebook account. So no problems here. But even on this app, I will never add a picture of my daughter to my profile. I would love to show the whole world my cute girl BUT she can't decide for herself yet and who knows if she would appreciate the fact that I posted pics of her when she was little!?! And once it's online it stays there...
So no pics online.

Avatar

I do not stand for anyone posting pics anywhere of my child. I post some on Instagram and have shared google albums for family.

Avatar

No pictures of my LO on social media. I saw a Dr. Phil episode where a couple's twin girls were "digitally kidnapped." The internet is not a safe place and I think keeping my son off social media just keeps him safe.

Avatar

I post a lot of my son on my Instagram, not so much on my Facebook but that’s purely because I don’t use it. I don’t really think much of it, I know who my audience is so it’s not a big deal to me. I don’t mind other’s posting photos of him either - as long as I’m tagged so I get to see it too!

Avatar

We will post our children once or twice a year that’s it. Grandparents always ask permission to post a picture which is lovely. Too many weirdos and our babies are so young. As time go on I’m sure things will be different.

Avatar

We post a few here and there and our friends and family know to ask our permission before posting anything. I want him to be able to create his own online presence as he grows. I save the super cute to me but could be embarrassing for him pictures for just me.

Avatar

We use an app called tiny beans. We have chosen not to post pics on social media and have asked family and friends not to as well. The tiny beans app is fantastic and can only be accessed and seen by the people you add.

Avatar

Yes, I do. I’m not adding locations to my posts or images. I do not allow my teen to wear her sports uniforms in photos for safety reasons, but otherwise I’m fine with it. I’m also an insta-blogger.

Avatar

I don’t like family posting pictures of my kids but I myself post pictures of me kids 😊

Avatar

I post pictures of my baby but I would expect friends or family to ask before they did!

Avatar

So with my eldest shes not on FB no one posts pics of her on FB but i have a private IG so family can see it. Reason i dont like my eldest on fb is that she is a product of domestic violence and for her protection thats why shes not on

Avatar

I post my little one pictures on Instagram but everything is on private.I also made my little one account for my daughter, to post all her modelling pictures of her outfits and she’s also brand rep for some small baby company’s.

Avatar

I post a lot of photos of my kids on social media for friends and family that are not close to us. But we do turn off location so they are safe

Avatar

I post pictures of my baby all the time. šŸ™ˆ I just requested that people ask before reposting or using a picture I send them. Obviously I don't add location to them or anything. But I don't see anything wrong with posting pics on social media as often as you want of your kids!

Avatar

I use to post once a month but I stopped at 6 months..
A gut feeling to stop posting him so I did!
I just text photos to his Godmother,grandparents,one or two cousins,my brother and 3-4 friends!
I’m very picking when it comes to sharing photos of my son.

Avatar

No... I have a private fb page that only family and close friends can see with pics of my baby

Avatar

I don’t post very often on Social Media.

I do use this app called TinyBeans, which is fantastic in so many ways which would take too long to explain.

It’s free. It’s amazing. Just get it.

Avatar

I don’t post much on Facebook. It’s where I have most of my husbands family. No one calls to ask how my daughter is doing. No one bothers to see how we’re doing since we moved. So they don’t get to see my daughter growing up. šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø

Avatar

I don’t post pics often. She’s 8 months and I’ve only posted her birth pic. I don’t feel like its a need to post her all over the internet, if people like friends and family really care to see her they can come visit.

Avatar

I do but I have strict privacy settings. I don't let others post public pics.

Avatar

We post photos because we relocated 700 miles from all of our family when our son was about eight months old. We both keep Facebook just to stay in touch with them and 90% of our friend lists are family members, otherwise they are good friends. Other than this app we have the tendency to keep our photos as private as possible. It doesn’t bother us when friends or family post photos of our LO.

As long as they are clothed

Avatar

I don’t close photos of my daughter online. I no longer have a Facebook but I am active on Instagram. I have only posted one photo of her and that was to show off her cloth diaper but you could not see her face. I only text family and friends photos but my family doesn’t care enough to check up on us so it’s just a few friends and my niece abroad who get photos.

Avatar

I post pictures all the time. I don’t add random people. My mother in law will share my photos but she’s the same way. Only family on hers and close friends. I don’t mind at all. I could be more cautious tho.

Avatar

Me&my partner have agreed not to for the simple fact we want privacy! We have a private Instagram account for our little boy with all of his pictures on which only family and close family friends can see. We would rather show our little one of face to face rather than all over social media!!šŸ˜ŠšŸ’™

Avatar

I watch too much SVU for that. 😄

Avatar

I do post a lot of photos and videos of my kids on social media. It is more to stay in touch with friends and family. A lot of my hubbys family is in Canada and my family is very far away. So it gives them a chance to see them grow up. We do have a hi security setting and do other safety measures to protect them
