007: What to Pack (and What to Skip) When Traveling with a Baby: A Guide to Avoid Overpacking with Infant Insights Founder
Manage episode 485222217 series 3662218
Parents don’t need more stuff. They need more support.
That’s what Brooke Boruff—licensed occupational therapist, baby development consultant, and founder of Infant Insights—reminds us in this episode.
We talked about the pressure to pack everything “just in case,” why the real travel essential might be peace of mind, and how you can build supportive routines even while on the go.
“You’re not going to mess them up just because you took a vacation. You were literally meant to be that baby’s parent.”
— Brooke Boruff, Infant Insights — IG @infantinsights—
Brooke helps parents move from information overload to practical tools that actually work—especially when traveling with babies. From preventing flat head syndrome to preserving sleep routines, she shares how a little planning goes a long way.
A few of the questions we covered in this episode:
- Can travel actually support baby development?
- How do you know what to pack and what to leave behind?
- What are the risks of keeping babies in car seats or strollers too long?
We even talk about the importance of cleaning the house before you leave (you’ll relate), how babies feel your energy while you travel, and why routines don’t have to be perfect to be helpful.
Whether you’re planning a beach trip with a baby or just want to feel more relaxed when traveling as a parent, this conversation is your reminder that support matters more than stuff.
