We All Had a Betsy Wetsy Doll

Betsy Wetsy was the doll we all had to have in the sixties. She drank water, and she wet, and she came with diapers. We were thrilled, watching diaper changes on TV Every Saturday morning until we were in a frenzy about it. I think every girl in 1965 had a Betsy Wetsy doll. Because I did, and I was always last.

if i remember correctly, the hole that allowed the doll to wet the diaper was smack in the middle of one of her butt cheeks and, even as a young girl, i noticed how wrong that was! thanks for the memory, caren!

I'm thinking changing that doll was nothing like changing a real baby. As I recall it was no fun at all!

It was great; we gave ours orange juice thought and it ruined the doll along with the chocolate milk. There were no warnings about that.
