Is Your Baby's Diaper Wet? There's An App for That

Yes, even baby diapers have joined the digital revolution thanks to the new Huggies TweetPee app.

The Brazilian-launched product includes an electronic device with moisture sensor which is affixed to the front of an baby’s diaper. When the baby urinates, mom or dad gets a tweet on their smartphones. They can also choose to order more diapers directly from the phone.

Although the device is not currently availabe in America, we shared the news with our Facebook friends. So far, the responses have been pretty incredulous. Here’s a sample of what we heard:

“... It obviously uses wifi, I'm not about to strap a radio emitting device onto my infant.” Dave J. on New Lenox Patch Facebook

“Or.....you could be a parent and get off your duff and check the diaper. Jeez.” Kristina W. on H-F Patch Facebook

“Scary world we live in when you have to rely on twitter to parent your child!” Erin M. on Palos Patch Facebook

“I hope this is s joke, is the ... internet more important than your own child!?! People who believe this is a good idea are the ones who shouldn't have a kid in the first place!!!“ Michelle B. on Oak Lawn Patch Facebook

“If you have to have twitter tell you when to change your kid's diaper, maybe you shouldn't have kids!” Erin M. on Oak Forest Patch Facebook

“Hmm, let me know when they have a sensor for the baby's belly so we know when baby is hungry, too! SMH!” Beth M. on Tinley Park Patch Facebook

“Not sure I want an electronic sensor next to my baby's junk. How bout parents actually parent and check their baby's diaper periodically. Its not THAT serious. Ugh!” Michelle H. on Tinley Park Patch Facebook

“Anyone that buys one of these does NOT deserve to be a parent! I thought those self feeding baby food pouches were over the line, but this tops it all! Unreal!” George K. on Evergreen Park Patch Facebook
