Title: "Save Your Back: What NOT To Pack"
Intro: Every new parent overpacks. It's a rite of passage. But if you're still carrying three pacifiers and a full medicine cabinet, this one's for you.
✅ Keep These, Always:
-
🧷 3–4 diapers
-
🧻 Travel-sized wipes
-
👕 1 spare outfit
-
🛏️ Portable changing pad
-
🧸 1 toy or pacifier
-
🍼 Snack or milk/feed supply
❌ You Probably Don’t Need:
-
🧴 Diaper cream (unless rash-prone)
-
👕 3+ outfits (just bring one extra)
-
💊 Full medicine cabinet (bring only one item if doctor-advised)
-
🧳 Bulky changing kits (you don’t need a clutch and a pad and a wipes case)
-
🎾 Every toy in the house (just pack the favorite one)
-
📚 Books (you’re not reading Goodnight Moon in the doctor’s office)
-
🛏️ Blanket + swaddle + sleep sack (pick ONE and go)

How to use it: Stick it inside your diaper bag for weekly reality checks.
Andy says: "If you haven’t used it in 2 weeks, leave it."
