Overloaded Diaper Bags

The Burden of Baby Gear

Jessica Lanes was spotted at the park lugging a diaper bag described by one bystander as “a tactical nap pack with wipes.” It contained diapers, ointments, snacks, and a copy of *Eat Pray Love* for emergencies.

The Contents

Among the essentials: six juice boxes, four mismatched socks, a tiny shoe with no pair, and “emotional support graham crackers.”

Health Impact

Jessica’s chiropractor said her spine now curves into a lowercase “r.” Her toddler rides scooters; she rides ibuprofen.

Expert Insight

Parenting coach Dr. Tote N. Carry says, “Overpacked bags are often carrying more than stuff–they carry fear, hope, and crushed Cheerios.”

Conclusion

Jessica has since downsized. The bag now fits into a rolling suitcase. Progress?
