Not inappropriate. I wouldn’t even clutch pearls worrying about creeps on the internet. It’s a diaper and a shirt. That’s basically the equivalent of shorts and a T-shirt for adults. It’s exactly as appropriate as a fully clothed picture, because it IS a fully clothed picture.

My thought exactly. Even an adult wouldn't be inappropriate in a bikini bottom or speedo and a T-shirt.
On one hand, I agree with you, nudity is natural. On the other hand I've seen the kind of sick fucks that exist out there and I wouldn't want a nude photo of my baby on the internet. So do with that what you will.
Not inappropriate, but inappropriate to post pictures of your child online who hasn't got a say what happens with their pictures.
Swim diaper and shirt is not inappropriate Facebook is inappropriate 
Not inappropriate.
But sharing it publicly on Facebook? Inappropriate. Lots of creepos looking for new wanking material.
Share it privately with some friends or in private albums.
Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback 🙂
This has certainly given me a bit to chew on, so far as being more careful with our children's digital footprint at this stage of life. We do ensure to tick the boxes for "only friends" on the pictures we share, but I am aware that once something is out there it's out there, particularly as who knows what kinds of inner closet demons our friends have that they would never share with us. And just because I'm more of an open book kinda guy and haven't minded at all when my own mom has shared old pictures of me as a toddler running around in a diaper, doesn't at all mean my children will feel the same way. I'll be sure to bring this up with my wife sometime sooner rather than later.
Facebook is inappropriate usage of the internet.
Unfortunately it's the platform a significant portion of our friends and family are using that we don't see on a regular basis, and if we want to be able to easily share our lives with them without resorting to long-form emails or letters, it's a convenient go-to. At some point I absolutely have it on my to-do list to spin up a Diaspora server of my own, but until then our content would still have to be living on someone else's server, and it becomes kind of an apples-vs-oranges conversation for which one would be better.
The clothing isn't inappropriate but sharing the pictures of your child publicly online is clearly inappropriate for me.
Think about it, right now your child is 22 months old but soon he will be a teenager facing bullies in high school, soon after he will be a young professional looking for a job, he could be a lawyer trying to build up his reputation. The last thing he want is pictures of him running around in his diaper
Everything you post online will stay online forever, please don't post any pictures of your child on Facebook or Instagram.
