Sow a thin cloth lining onto the inside surface of a normal reusable
cotton diaper with thin wires running parallel just under the surface, so
as not to bother the baby.
The idea is, that when baby has soiled said diaper, electrical
conductivity between the wires is (hopefully) made. A small
snap-
button on the front of the diaper, will house a tiny LED and button cell
battery. The electronics are housed in a snap-on button so it can be
removed and placed on the next (clean) diaper.
So next time baby has made a mess, you can know it's time to change!

Not necessarily a *bad* idea, but what if the baby manages to
remove the snap button? Small objects are to be avoided around
babies. This sounds hazardous, and for little benefit over existing
diapers given that many diapers these days have large indicators
that change colors when soiled, and most parents can tell if a
diaper's soiled anyway by the absorption expansion and the smell. |

The potential for neglect exists in that a deadbeat parent will watch the lights from a distance during the Maury show only to say, "the indicator is only between green and yellow.. it has not officially hit the red zone so that should be fine." |
