Betsy Wetsy was first produced by Ideal in 1934, named for the daughter of Abraham Katz, the head of the Ideal Doll Company. Effanbee had earlier produced a similar doll, "Dy-dee," and a suit resulted over patent infringement. Supposedly, the judge ruled that drinking and wetting are natural movements and no patent can cover these. Anyhow, Ideal produced Betsy Wetsy in 1934, revised her heavily in the late 1930's, and produced her in many sizes in the 30's and 40's. Materials used in production changed with improved technology. There were also Black versions of Betsy Wetsy in these early years.
