  I would ask her to remove them. I don't think you are overreacting at all.

  You are not overreacting. The pictures are of your baby, and therefore she should have asked for your permission, or mentioned posting them before announcing the post on facebook. I would not set up grounds for argument and just let her know frimly but respectfully that you are not comfortable with her posting pictures (especially naked ones) of your baby and you expect her to take them down and for this not to be an issue in the future.

  This exactly.

  I had the same issue with my sister posting pictures of Allison without me knowing.  I asked her to stop and it seems to have worked.  Don't leave room for negotiation either.  If she says you are overreacting, just reply "Maybe, but she is my daughter so I expect you to respect my wishes."  Or something like that.

  My sister and BIL and various other family members have posted pictures on FB and it doesn't bother me at all.  However, if they posted naked pictures of them - or even pictures of them in just diapers now - I would not be happy and would definitely ask them to take them down and refrain from doing that again.

  You are not overreacting at all!  I would feel the same way!  My MIL is like that too...no sense when posting pictures.  We told her she couldn't post pics of LO on FB.  She wasn't happy, but oh well!

  I don't mind her posting photos either. I don't care for the diaper ones but they are from over the summer when she was younger, so I'm not making an issue of those, though I would if they were from now. It's just the naked ones I'm really having a hard time with.
  
  Thanks for making me feel like I'm not overreacting. I said something to my mom about it and she didn't seem to be as bothered by it. But she also doesn't really understand the Internet either.

  The naked pics would really bother me. Especially if she leaves her pictures set at "public". Not cool

  She has no business posting photos of your kid anywhere.   Tell her to take them down.

  Be honest and tell me if I am overreacting about this. My sister posts all her photos on Flickr with no privacy settings, anyone can search for and see her photos. She posted on FB this morning about adding new photos, so I wandered over to look at them. I noticed that she posted a bunch of A from our vacation together last summer. Including ones of A in her baby pool and getting a bath in the sink. While I am a little less than thrilled about the baby pool pictures, she did at least have a diaper on in them. But some of the bath pictures you can clearly tell she has nothing on and shows a little too much of the girly parts [doesnt full on show them but more than hints they are there and naked]. I am livid. I'm sorry but I feel there are some pictures you just don't share of ANOTHER person's child! I fully intend on telling her those need to come down. I told DH about it this morning but without showing him the photos she posted, I don't think he totally understood what I was telling him she posted. Therefore, he didn't comprehend why I am upset. My sister is going to tell me I am overreacting but I don't think I am. What say you ladies and gent?

   

  MIL posted a picture of DS taking a bath. It was really cute but made me very uncomfortable to have on the internet. I had DH call her and tell her she had to take it down.

  You're not overreacting especially since she doesn't have any settings. You never know who is looking. I would tell her to take then down.

  100% agree

  This.  She is your child and strangers can see these pictures!  Then you add the naked part and you definitely have a right to ask her to take them down.  I would do it in a nice way but just because I always try to avoid confrontation with family members.  Definitely wouldn't blame you though if you decided to be a little more brash.
