Dude, this has been a traditional way for parents to embarrass their adult children in front of their partner for decades. My wife has seen my naked baby pictures without my parents even showing them to her. And I've seen hers. What's the big deal? It's not like either of us found them sexy.

Chopping part of your child's dick off has also been traditional for decades, that's a very poor justification for that behaviour.

it's still weird (source, i have parents), at least ask your daughter for consent first.

I'd consider it to be a breach of my privacy otherwise.

They're baby pictures. We're not talking about something erotic here. Naked babies are not some sort of scandalous thing. In most cultures, they're normal.

i didn't take them and i didn't consent to them existing either. Neither did i consent to them being shown to anybody.

Naked humans are also normal, yet we still wear clothes. babies included, weirdly enough.

At what point does "naked baby photos" turn to "naked children photos" is my question.

how about this. You can have your naked baby photos, you just also have to be in the photo and naked as well.

Taking photos of naked children isn't, and shouldn't, be normal in any culture I'm familiar with, and you definitely shouldn't be showing them to anyone.

Tbf child marriage is also traditional, Muhammed had a 9yo bride (it's "ok," he didn't have sex with her until she was 11.)

Defending things based solely on tradition can get pretty weird sometimes.
