Facebook is constantly coming up with new ways that are indulging us into uploading our life into a more organised manner. This new feature will make parents who want to show off their children very happy, as Facebook has released a Scrapbook for baby pictures.

One of the  many  addictions Facebook has created in our social lives is for parents to constantly upload pictures of their babies and many of them tend to overreact and have made their profile all about their baby. You can see parents posting pictures of babies, starting from when they were still in the womb of their mother to their birth, and basically the rest of every day of their child life.

Facebook has come up with an idea for the parents who are so eager of showing their babies and has created an option called Scrapbook, which practically is what the name itself says, a virtual scrapbook where parents can share pictures of their babies with their families and friends.

This doesn’t sound like a bad idea, as when the child grows up, he/she will have a database of memories and that is kind of cool. It is like a gift for the soul. The whole idea of the feature is to allow parents to share easier the pictures of their babies or children with their friends and families.

All that parents have to do, is to add a kid to their personal profile  and tell Facebook the names of that child’s parents. After that, parents can tag their baby/child in the picture, and you have to know that they are the only ones who will be authorized to tag that child. All the images are stored in a virtual Scrapbook.

As for the privacy settings of the photo albums, they are the same as any other Facebook photo album, and you can choose if you want to make it public or share it only with the close people in your life.

More precisely, what you need to do technically to create this Scrapbook, is to log in into your account, go to the section where it says About, click on  Family and Relationship and from there you should be sent to a section where you have “Create a Scrapbook for Your Child” . If you find difficulties during the process, you shouldn’t worry, as Facebook has created a mini tutorial on how to create the Scrapbook.

If you have more than one child and want to create a Scrapbook for each, you just repeat the same process again, but add the name of the other child or children. The Scrapbook will appear on your profile just like any other photo album.If there are certain persons (even friends) that you don’t want to see some of the pictures of your baby/child, just personalize the privacy of each photo from the album.

For your information, the Scrapbook can be also used for your beloved pets. So if you are the proud owner of a cute doggy, kitty or any other animal you can make them their personal Scrapbook.

Before this feature, both of the parents had to tag each other in the photos of their child, which would allow the picture to appear on both timelines. But with the new option, you just have to tag the child and you automatically tagg the parents as well.

The policy of Facebook doesn’t permit children under 13 years old to have an account. So when the kids who will have Scrapbooks will turn 13 and will want to make his/hers own Facebook account he/she will have all those tagged pictures of his/hers childhood.

In case he/she doesn’t want friends to see the photos, they will just have to untag themselves from the image. The picture will remain under the ownership of their parents, so if they want to take any of them down its up to their parents.

Facebook’s new feature has already been released in America for desktops, iOS and Android devices. You should check to see if your account has been updated with the new feature and you can start creating your first Facebook Scrapbook by following the steps.
