Photo of nude baby

[Sailinghappy]

Genuinely interested to see if I'm being unreasonable here... what do you think?

So today my husband was playing with our baby daughter in the paddling pool having the loveliest time. She just splashes around in there nude in this heat and loves it! He took a funny photo of her playing with her duckie in the water and shared it on our family whatsapp group - with both aunties and uncles. I do think the photo is cute and I'm glad they had a lovely time playing but I'm fuming because my baby is nude in this photo and she has her legs wide open!! He way she's sitting isn't very dignified and I don't want everyone having photos of that!!!

Husband thinks it's just a funny photo shared with family - AIBU??

YABU. She's a baby, it's fine.

I personally don't ever share or take photos of my DC naked (closest is a bath one when only their top half can be seen and they are boys)

But it has nothing to do with dignity....i worry about my ability to access hackers etc and don't want anyone with nefarious motives getting hold of them

But dignified? Come on now....shes a baby so I agree with the practice of not sharing but for entirely different reasons

Yabu.

She's just a baby.

It's good for babies private areas to get some air nappies are sweaty and cause rashes

No one bats an eye lid at naked baby pics just don't bring it out for her 18th

I'm confused, why does a baby need to be dignified?

I edit the dangelies with a heart or a star for my boys personally but cheeks are fine

I think people should discuss it before sharing nude photos of babies, personally. I have no issues with the picture itself (by the sounds of it) but I think being on the same page is important.

YWNBU if he was sharing it publicly, but YAB a bit U because he only shared it with family and presumably you wouldn’t make her cover up if she was in the paddling pool and family were visiting!

YANBU.

Just because she's a baby doesn't mean it's okay to share pictures with people showing her vagina.

My MIL tried to take some of those sleepy newborn type photos of our daughter and didn't do well with it. She told us she made sure she covered up our daughter's vagina in all the pics. Then sent me like 20 pics and 75% of them showed her vagina.

My husband and I were both very unhappy about it. She also sent them to my Mom who said she didn't even download them because of the child pornography laws in Texas.

Yanbu. The photo is probably very cute and sweet but she may not want her aunts and uncles, or anyone for that matter, having shared or in possession of nude photos of her from when she was a baby.

tell him to use some little emoji stickers next time thats what i do I've put lil hotdogs in the past on the toddler he might not know what's decent now but when he grows up I doubt he will want anyone seeing pics of his willy

I think it's terribly sad that this could be mis-construed or mis-used, as I'm sure it's a beautiful photo of a little cute baby.

God I think YANBU.
Whenever I take pics of my dc I'm always careful that their genitals aren't in view in any way so to actually share a pic like that is shocking to me. You don't truly know people, even your own family. Plus these things can be hacked.
Also babies and children do need dignity because they don't stay babies and children forever. I would hate to be told that all my uncles, aunties etc had seen a picture of me naked with my legs spread whatever age I was at the time.

I think you're being reasonable. I have lots of photos of my DC when they were lovely little naked babies and toddlers, but they are not the photos I'd choose to share with other people either electronically or otherwise. (XH would have done, and he was a twunt).

Sorry perhaps I didn't word that well.. I am not suggesting my baby girl should be dignified at all. She plays in the nude and has a lovely time, I just wouldn't choose to take photos of her with her legs wide open etc and share them with others that's all

I agree. I don’t think anyone should share a picture of anyone’s naked body without their permission.

Apparently so Lorelei! And ops husband is a child sex abuser, also apparently

I wouldn't mind the photo being taken, but wouldn't be at all happy about it being shared with others.

YANBU

Our poor kids growing up in a world where everyone can immediately be sent pictures of them on the loo, with chocolate all over their face, or with their legs open and privates on show in a paddling pool

Just because she’s young she doesn’t deserve any privacy?

If she was sitting in the water, surely nothing can actually be seen?

Of course it isn't child porn, dont be so silly.
