If you've got toddlers, you'll know there's nothing they love more than to run about nappy-free, letting it all hang loose.

And if you're lucky enough to be on holiday, you'll probably get some great shots of those bare chubby botties on show - ready for the family album ... or maybe even for your Facebook page.

But if you do choose to share it on social media, beware of the disapproving 'sanctimummies', who may have something to say about it ... as one celeb mum found out ...

Hollywood actress, Olivia Wilde posted this pic up on Instagram of her 20-month-old son, Otis, with the caption:

"Naked cowboy"

Cute - right?

Not according to some. Here are just a few of the comments in response:

"Why post nude pics of your child? So many psychos out there!"

"More people will ‘like’ that than you wish. Your naked child is nothing you upload in the world wide web where it stays forever …"

"Celebrities have to protect the privacy of their children. Children not to be displayed."

Are they right? Do you share naked pics of your little ones? Or are you super careful to protect their privacy?
