I don't know whether to laugh or cry about what appeared in a 
hammacher-Schlemmer catalogue.  For those who don't know, this is a 
pretentious catalog of expensive things, which I only opened because I 
couldn't identify the gadget on the front.  It looked like a kitchen 
bowl and turned outto be a wood-fired hot tub.  Anyway. . .

A few pages in we have THE ONLY INFANT CARE TIMER by "itzbeen"

http://www.hammacher.com/publish/73861.asp

This looks like a cell-phone-sized digital clock with five times--the 
bottom is the actual time.  The other four are are in a vertical column 
above it, and have buttons next to them.  One miscellaneous (asterisk), 
then a diaper, a bottle, and "zZz."  One sets the chosen intervals, and 
when baby has awakened, been fed, or had a diaper change, one presses 
the appropriate (ahem) button, and it begins the preset countdown.  The 
it beeps to let mom or sitter know that baby needs attention.  (When I 
pay a babysitter, I expect *real* attention) It "eliminates the need 
for tracking childcare needs by memory or using a chart."  Has a belt 
clip, and built in flashlight, and a sliding nursing button to help 
keep track or which side was nursed on last. $24.95 USD

Sheesh.
