      Am I the only person who thinks that #NaptimeWithJoey thing and other people who dress their baby up in costumes while they're napping for instagram likes is kinda problematic? Like sure I've snapped a few cute pics of my baby napping but this is different. Thoughts follow:

      There's definitely part of me that's like 'aww look at that baby dressed as a little Han Solo', but there's a bigger part of me noticing that this baby is probably not getting the most comfortable naps. To take these photographs there's a bright light shining on the baby,

      And I'm assuming the parent dresses them in some or all of the costume before putting them down? So instead of a restful nap in a comfy onesie that's the right temperature in a nice dark room, this baby gets put to sleep in less-then-ideal conditions so mom can get a photo

      But like sleep is REALLY important for babies, more than it is for us. Sleep is when babies develop and recuperate from all the growing they did, and you don't wanna mess around with that.

      rgardless of how comfy baby is..even if this baby is a heavy sleeper & is still getting quality naps despite being treated like a barbie doll, theres something inherently a little creepy to me about co-opting your baby's nap, which is for them, to make it about something for you

      And there's also a piece here about consent. I've struggled with this myself, just posting the odd pic of my baby, which was snapped organically, not making her pose or arranging her for the perfect Insta post

      Our babies' bodies are not ours. We are the stewards of our babies' bodies. It's why circumcision, and even ear piercing, is something that needs to be talked about and ultimately reconsidered. It's related to the discussion about genital 'corrective' surgery in intersex babies

          We are supposed to care about and protect our babies' bodies until such time that they are old enough to make their own choices, pierce their own ears, and cut pieces off their own genitals if they so choose

          This relates to the people posting a lot of photos of their sleeping baby in costumes. The baby doesn't know it's being photographed, didn't consent to being used as a tool to generate likes and ultimately revenue for you, and is now is having their nap disturbed for this

          The thing is, we don't know what the impacts of having our kids entire lives documented on the internet will be yet. We don't know how it will impact the way they think of themselves, their self-esteem, how it might come back to haunt them, and even how the Government may use it

          And don't tell me I'm being paranoid; the collection and improper storage of personal information by third parties like Facebook, and how that could be use by fascist governments, which are on the rise (hello, Brazil!) Is something we just don't know.

          Will photos of your baby dressed lik Campbell's Soup condemn them to a life in a future fascist gulag? Probably not, but it's a piece of a few bigger issues; privacy and consent. Should we post pictures of our kids online without their consent?

          Here's the common thread about all this; Our babies' bodies do not belong to us Our babies are not toys or dolls for our amusement Sacrificing our babies development time (naps) for our own personal gain (followers or $$$$) is weird

          This #NaptimeForJoey person definitely published a book and made money off it. Sure, so do parents with child stars. Recently a friend asked if Melody could do a small part in an episode of the Nature of Things so I'm not on a high horse here either (not getting rich tho)

          But here's what I see as the difference; because of the content-oriented nature of social media I see people who dress up their babies while napping posting every few DAYS! Like, ok if you were interfering with naptime once a month whatever but seriously LEAVE THE BABY TO SLEEP!

          I guess it feels like there's a difference between conventional media, which is limited in scope and which probably (I'm guessing?) Works around the naptimes of babies and social media which seems more insidious since it can be shared around forever and ever and happens TO babies

          Anyway like I said, I'm no saint, but I definitely gave pause before I started posting pics of my baby online, i really find it weird that some people think their babies are fashion accessories. I guess ultimately it's the age we live in...

          And I'm certainly not puritanical about it, sure why not, get a few likes for your social media from you cute baby picture... But when you start seeking out those likes and using your baby and interfering with their routine... Dude, I guarantee your baby would rather be playing

          Or resting in a DARK room, not with a bright-ass light in their face and an itchy wig on their head. Is this really fair to put the baby through that shit for your own personal gain?!
