I love AJ's pics too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860486 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:59:59 +0000 JerricaBenton 860486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes the perspective of carseat photos make it look like they are front facing but they aren't. I saw FB pics that convinced me a 6 month old was front facing and I was horrified but then I saw the baby in the car in person and it was rear facing. I know I take pictures of LO in the carseat in the house before we even go anywhere when she's not strapped in. Also all her crib pictures are with toys or loveys even though she's never once slept in her crib. Everything will be out of there once she does. I just try not to judge, but then again I don't have any friends feeding their infants candy or anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860482 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:58:19 +0000 Pepper 860482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, maybe it's because I'm still pregnant and not a parenting pro, but I don't even notice "errors" in pictures. I would judge if it was something outrageous, like someone smoking near an infant or whatever... but I've never seen anything like that on my news feed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860451 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:38:53 +0000 mrskc 860451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now I'm a little self conscious... I'm pretty sure I've probably posted photos on FB &amp; IG that have been judged. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860417 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 15:58:04 +0000 Mrs. Polish 860417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: true story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860415 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 15:57:09 +0000 Mrs. Polish 860415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: this thread has made me realize the things I'm probably being judged for. What. Ev. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860407 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 15:48:27 +0000 mrskc 860407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: seriously, you have one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen. Everyone MUST tell you that?! I love seeing her photo on IG. </p> <p>@shopaholic: Awww I think K is so cute! I love all the photos. </p> <p>I try not to judge. But the car seat ones, I do a little. I just usually hope the car is parked it something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860378 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:59:04 +0000 lemondrop 860378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To each their own, parenting is hard, I just try not to be critical of others. Everyone has moments that humble them, nobody is perfect.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: she is beautiful, I always look forward to your IG photos... especially with your pup, they are so cute together.</p> <p>@shopaholic: I really like K's photos too! Your sense of style is awesome :)</p> <p>I really enjoy IG much more now that I have so many HB'ers in my feed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860374 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:56:04 +0000 erwoo 860374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I went through that with my oldest. Lots of head bumps and limbs getting stuck. He would even get his limbs caught with BOTH the breathable and bumper. I put the mesh over the bumper in hopes that the mesh would be better over the bumper. Thankfully, nothing happened. Now with my 14-month-old, I removed the bumper as soon as he could turn. So far, he hasn't gotten any limbs caught. Some head bumps but nothing bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860371 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:50:06 +0000 erwoo 860371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! I'm with you on that but really can't help but to think about how dangerous it is and then I move on. Another thing that's disturbing is where some seat belt clips are. Some of the straps are even too loose... I always get on my husband's case on this...b/c he's a huge offender of where the clips should go. But I really shouldn't judge b/c I'm sure I do things the wrong way myself. :D I guess we're just more concerned than anything, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860366 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:42:06 +0000 loveisstrange 860366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: You will break pretty much every "rule" you swore you wouldn't! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-860360 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:32:26 +0000 petunia354 860360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to judge because you never know the full story. But I feel like I could be one of those moms that gets judged! We totally have a few small stuffed animals in DS's crib. And I whenever I post pics on IG I always get self conscious because I feel like he doesn't photograph well, like he is cuter in person (ugh, I'm annoyed at myself for saying that) and I don't want people to think I'm phishing for compliments when I post pics of him. We think he is a gorgeous baby but don't expect anyone else to, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859838 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 06:41:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 859838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: @PurpleUnicorn: @babyjmama: you ladies are too sweet. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859800 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 04:47:59 +0000 SugarplumsMom 859800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before DD arrived or when she was still a newborn, I would be in shock with some pictures thinking how unsafe things are, how this-and-that book and experts say to do something else, or avoid it etc. Now that DD is almost 1, I mentally learned my lesson (I never actually said anything to anyone). </p> <p>You will break at least one rule you swore you would not do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859790 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 03:01:39 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 859790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes... but I keep my mouth shut because I know I would be pissed if somebody said something to me. It isn't always pictures though. A friend of mine posted on her status about how she was shocked how much her 1 month old could eat of the formula/rice bottles they have been giving her. Rice? For a 1 month old? But I didn't say a word... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859788 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 02:54:04 +0000 shopaholic 859788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm probably a mom that would have silent judgement against me? I wonder if people think it's annoying all of the K pics I post (most don't get posted on FB, more on IG). I wonder if she's really as cute as we think she is too. I mean every parent thinks their LO is so cute! I think if you saw a crib pic in the daytime I must get mentally criticized by others then a lot bc we have a couple stuffed animals and maybe a lovey in there. But I look at the monitor incessantly and we have an Angel Care and she doesn't move or roll yet.<br /> Idk if I have any car seat pics that she looks improperly buckled... Probably someone would think so.</p> <p>I don't really judge others at all. I know a lot of pics are propped or just for fun.<br /> @PurpleUnicorn: I do feel a little judgemental about the outward baby Bjorne but I try not to let myself say anything.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: come now! L is stunningly beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859785 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 02:25:35 +0000 PrincessBaby 859785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: h aha- I love the word "unfortunate," lol:). And H is about to be a bumper baby too. Some kids really do need them. She is one of them. I think the risk of suffocation is much lower with one than the risk of breaking an arm or leg or really hurting her head without one on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859781 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 02:17:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 859781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I was all judgey and horrified by bumpers and anyone who used them....Until my daughter got moving and battered herself every night &amp; day on the crib rails (waking up screaming bloody murder), and also thinks it's a fun game to see how many limbs she can hang out the crib and how far out she can get them. Then her chub legs get stuck and she cries. All are a major sleep disruption! I bought the mesh breathable bumper and that was a joke (then it was a game to kick through it or knock it down bc so thin) so I returned it. Also bought something called Cozy Wedge- another fail that got returned. I think that she is big enough &amp; mobile enough now that she would just move herself out of the way if she ever scooted into the bumper and had a hard time getting air. Sometimes she sleeps facedown &amp; that used to freakme out but she does her thingand is always fine, so at this point I am more concerned with wakeups, head donks, and broken limbs, so I am purchasing a real-deal bumper too! I know people will judge me too if their LO does not pull all of the crib slat/rail shenanigans that mine does, but I have tried to find an alternative and there just isnt one...So we can be "bad moms" together, lol:). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859769 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 01:04:01 +0000 StbHisMrs 859769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: @zippylef: We use bumpers too, and her blanket. She will not sleep without bumpers, we tried.</p> <p>That and she still has her binky, at night, or when all else fails. I'm careful what pictures I share, I don't like being judged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859727 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:45:26 +0000 LaineysMom 859727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: our ped okayed the paci at one week bc we had such an easy time breast feeding. She only used it in the car, but im sure we have a photo or 2 of it.</p> <p>I'm pretty good about not judging based on photos.. But I am guilty of cringing at "my baby is sooo beautiful" pics.. I'm a bad person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859725 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:42:56 +0000 mrsmenow 859725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: aaahhh don't judge the nuk. I have given my oldest 2 (the ones I have BF) a pacifier from the beginning and have BF without problems. But then again I judge when babies have them past a year. I wean my pacifiers early and want to just pluck them out of older kids mouths and walk a way with them, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859710 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:14:08 +0000 MamaJ 859710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I'm judgy about carseat pictures too! DHs cousin coward faced her LO at 6 months (if not younger) and someone I know just put a video up of her LO in the car and the chest clip was all the way at the bottom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859673 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 22:13:56 +0000 doodlepoodle 859673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: omg I get SO mad at my mom. She posts EVRY picture she takes on fb, even the unflattering ones.

I can't believe you'd even consider thinking she isn't the most adorable baby EVER. Even my hubs wants to snuggle her :) </p> <p>DH tells me it's my fault Js ears are so bad bc I'd say 'that baby has a weird hair line' or something like that (ALWAYS in private) but I'm so much more sensitive now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859573 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:30:59 +0000 rachiecakes 859573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my DH works as a skating instructor in the winter and we were married on the ice. DS was put on the ice at a very early age and my parents almost sh*t a brick seeing photos.<br /> actually I'm holding DS on the ice in my user pic here. I was a step from the players' bench and he was handed to me for the photo. I promise, he is OK and we would never, ever allow him on the ice for more than a minute photo without a helmet.<br /> I probably have judged myself but unless you know someone, you really can't tell from just a photo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859524 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:01:49 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 859524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: L is the cutest!! my L has a crush on her i think :) Actually, she is not just cute, she is really pretty.</p> <p>and yes i am guilty of judging some things. I think i judge more things since being on HB so much so i do try to remind myself that that person is probably not on HB. Heck, i judge people with baby bjorn carriers, even though i proudly used one for the first 5 months! </p> <p>i have silently judged when i see a pacifier at like one week old. But i guess it's possible they are not BFing. It just stuck in my head from my prenatal/BF class not to give one for the first six weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-859510 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 19:53:54 +0000 MsMamaBear 859510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: OMG! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos/page/2#post-857742 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:00:22 +0000 Bookish 857742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: same! Before I knew anything I would only judge if it was like, someone smoking and holding their baby... or if their baby was.. not cute :p Now that I've done all this research, oh my goodness.. I'm a judgey-pants 0_o </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judging-facebook-photos#post-857733 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 07:58:19 +0000 MrsTiz 857733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: hahahaha omg I say that all the time.

I would just look, see a baby, and think.."awww, cute" and not notice anything else.</p> <p>Now that I'm pregs and learning so much about feeding/sleeping/safety issues--yup, I get a little judgey. </p>
