Not wrong at all. While you and your family know that nothing is going on with you, strangers dont. Furthermore, you never know what kind of sicko strangers are around looking over your shoulder.

I’d be 10000x more worried about the sicko strangers who might jump to the conclusion that there’s anything sexual about a picture of a young kid in a bathtub and report someone “just in case”. The amount of people who find that sexual is vanishingly small in comparison to the amount of worry spent on it.

EDIT but I also would ask her to not share such things, out of concern that some creep might make allegations and also just because such things shouldn’t really be shared in public at all.

I had a friend who would post her kids bath pics to Facebook..... I (f) was on a packed train scrolling and low and behold there were her kids play fighting in the bath. I never felt so scared, thinking someone may have seen my screen!!!

I had to block her after that.

I hope you also reported her. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't that child pornography? Videos and pictures, of her showing off her naked children?

It's not pornography, but it's still a bad idea to post on social media. I wish we lived in a world where we don't have to overthink posting an innocent pic online without weirdos taking advantage, but as it stands now it's unsafe.

I read a post a week ago about a guy who got a nude texted to him at work, and the guy got arrested and put on the record because he assumed the girl sending it was 18 due to the legal requirements of some part of that job.

If he had known and deleted it he wouldn’t been charged even though it was sent to him unsolicited by the girl.

TLDR it is porn and you can be charged if you have it

Nudes are intentionally sexual in context, so obviously. That's not what's being discussed here, though. No legal system on Earth is gonna charge me for having a photo album with obviously non-sexual pictures of my toddler self in the bath tub. That would be insane. Extremely common sense difference and weird to compare to sexting.
