Dutch designer Laura Cornet noticed more and more of her friends and family were posting pictures of their babies on their social media streams right from the day of their birth.

But could newborns now take control and get in on the act?

She developed "New Born Fame," a toy that allows babies to take selfies and post them to social media.

Far from just a toy, she says her aim is to start a debate on who has the right to post pictures of infants online.

The mobile is made up of soft toys shaped as a Facebook logo and Twitter bird, hangs above the crib. When the baby reaches out to it, the device takes a quick snapshot or a video and automatically posts it on social media.

Cute or creepy?
