You may have already seen thishttp://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/, my mother just showed me the link. Why why WHY are there so many positive comments on this blog? Would you do this to your child? Can you comprehend why someone would want to?

I read an interview with the mother, and she sets it all up while the baby's napping, plops her down for a mo and takes a picture, all without junior waking up (again, jealous - if I so much as move a blade of grass in the garden while mine's napping, she's wide awake).
Don't see a problem, though. I think it's quite sweet.
I find it creepy and self-serving. At only a few months old this child is an internet phenomenon, with presumably a pretty nutty mother. I would feel upset if i found out my mother exposed some really weird baby pics of me to the entire internet populous.
In my mind it's similar with those parents who force their children into beauty pageants at a young age. The mother even admits in the FAQ section (letter to 'Paul') that her daughter will probably hate for this when she's older. She doesn't have this kid's best interest at heart.
This is the mum being creative, and the childs not being hurt, i dont think its against the kids interest as i dont think no bad is happening to the child, i presume shes safe and warm and asleep and blissfully unaware.
I understand doing it once or twice as a one off and i think it is cool and imaginative, a good photo for the photo album and to show friends or whatever, but to keep doing it? i dont see the point.
:yes:
I dont see any harm in it.
I expect she means that in the same way that my daughter will hate me for showing a picture of her sat on a potty - the normal kind of 'hate' that comes from a mildly cringe-worthy experience.
I think the pics are a little too 'cute' for my liking but it's hardly going to scar the child. It's not like in later years, people will find the pics on the net and know it's her. She'll have grown up unrecognisably by then.
However where on earth does that woman find the time to do it all - i can only imagine she has some kind of live in house keeper and nanny and is blessed with an amazing child who goes to sleep easily and doesnt' wake up when moved.
Also - she possibly had 9 months to plan everything in advance so might have made most of the costumes already.

Awww, the pictures are sooo cute :thumb:
Oh, and my daughter will hate me for taking photos of her completely lathered in food, sat in a shoe box, in the bath ... it's a phrase that you do actually use when you are a mother. Just like you probably 'hate' your mother for getting baby pics out to show a boyfriend.
EDIT: Just to clarify, my daughter was not covered in food, in a shoe box and in the bath at the same time. There are lots of different photos that she'll hate me for
