To ask, if you don’t share your child’s picture on social media…

Do you still share their name? Just planning what we are going to do after baby arrives. I am reluctant to share baby’s face online but don’t know if this should extend to all personal info about them.

Thoughts welcome either way.

I shared nothing. No names / photos/ half anonymous stuff. Mine are teens now and tell me they are very glad and grateful.
They feel sorry for friends whose parents have shared lots

My eldest was born 7 years ago and we decided before she was born that there would be no reference to her on social media. I am pleased with that, even all this time later, not least because you hear more and more that the children whose childhoods were plastererd on social media are likely as an adult cohort to be raging with their parents who did it.

I think the circle is coming back to personal privacy again.
