Cot selfies are here!

This photo is then uploaded on Facebook for people to see, like, comment and share.
That's not the only thing the new selfie-taker does though. It can even update the child's Facebook status so online friends know when the little one is sleeping or eating.

The woman who designed 'New Born Fame' says that's exactly the point she was trying to make. She says there are so many parents who upload pics of their children without their kids knowing.
Software developer Matthew Pegula beow used his six-month-old daughter as the 'face' of his Baby Selfie smartphone app:

Are you a parent who publishes photos of your child or children all the time?
