Jess Redden has made a big decision for her family and changed the way she approaches sharing snaps on social media.

The doting mum has long posted glimpses of her and her husband Rob Kearney's son Bobby, but she's now more conscious of what she shares.

Currently on holiday with her family, Jess answered a few questions, including one about whether she's stopped showing Bobby's face.

Jess replied, saying that yes, she has decided to make a change in the way she shows her little boy on her page, and explained her reasoning.

‘Yes, I haven't shared his gorgeous little face in the last few months and I'm going to keep it that way,' Jess said in the response.

She continued to tell parents not to worry and to do what's right for them and their family, writing: 'It's every parents' own decision so you do you and there's never a right or wrong.'

As for why she's no longer showing Bobby's face, Jess explained: 'As much as I want to share every last drop of him because he is the cutest and sweetest boy I've decided to stop.

‘As he grows, I want to give him the freedom to shape his own digital presence when he's old enough to understand what that means!!

'I'm still happy to share moments and memories, but just in a way that protects his identity. It's a personal choice, and I really appreciate your understanding.'

Jess isn't the only mum to stop sharing her little one's photos once they get a little bigger, with Síle Seoige also stopping sharing her daughter's face online once she turned three.

Not showing a child's face might be the best way forward, with experts recently saying that just 20 images of a child online could be enough to pose a risk.

But, as Jess stressed, the decision over how much to share is a personal one and should be made by the parents.
