The device called 'New Born Fame' is the brainchild of an inventor overseas. It's basically a small, soft square bearing Facebook's logo.

Parents can hang it above their little one in the child's cot. It's covered with sensors so when the baby reaches up and touches the soft toy, it takes a photo of the kid.

This photo is then uploaded on Facebook for people to see, like, comment and share.

That's not the only thing the new selfie-taker does though. It can even update the child's Facebook status so online friends know when the little one is sleeping or eating.

Natarah says she hates the idea of the 'belfie' or baby selfie. The baby has no idea he or she is the subject of online fame.

The woman who designed 'New Born Fame' says that's exactly the point she was trying to make. She says there are so many parents who upload pics of their children without their kids knowing.

Software developer Matthew Pegula beow used his six-month-old daughter as the 'face' of his Baby Selfie smartphone app:

Would you buy this new device for your baby's cot?

Are you a parent who publishes photos of your child or children all the time?
