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.
