A new device that sends a tweet to parents when their baby has wet his diaper has been developed.

TweetPee is a small device that looks like a bird, with a sensor that clips to a diaper.

When the diaper is wet, it will alert parents by sending a tweet.

The device developed by Huggies works with a TweetPee app that lets parents monitor diaper moisture, CBSNews.Com reported.

It will also help parents to keep count of the average amount of diapers their baby uses.

A spokesperson for Kimberly-Clark Corp, which owns Huggies, said that the device is real, but it is only being tested on four parents.
 

The tests may expand to include 10 parents by July.

The company said the device was created to activate the new app, which helps parents monitor their supply of diapers.
