I'm guessing this could lead to light-up Huggies baby diapers.
"Takes the guess work out of busy parenting"
- ta1234567890 5y agoAlready most diapers (for babies) have a yellow strip that turns blue with pee. No lights or electronics needed.
- canada_dry 5y agoAh, but does it flash? Can it been seen in the dark - without waking up baby?
- nodefortytwo 5y agowhy would you want that? nobody would wake a baby to change a diaper.
- recursive 5y agoIf it was a big squishy poop at risk of an overflow blowout I would.
- purrcat259 5y agoIf the nappy can't handle another round of pee or poop then yeah I might consider waking the baby up to avoid them waking up thanks to the pee. The secret is in changes before naps though :)
- wincy 5y agoYou might be underestimating just how deeply children sleep. My kid gets her diaper changed several times a night and sleeps through it. If she does wake up she cries for a drink of water then immediately goes back to sleep.
- code_duck 5y agoThis system could issue an alert to send a nurse to change the diaper, which is a significant advance over requiring visual inspection.
- jlg23 5y agoI think they are aiming at the elderly; most babies dont need their glucose levels monitored constantly...
- klyrs 5y agoLight-up diapers sound like a rave fashion trend from hell. Maybe I should patent that just to prevent it from taking off until I'm too old to attend raves...
