In the mega-consumption era of parenthood, the internet tells new moms that products can solve the hardest parts of having a newborn. All they have to do is add to cart.

At the end of the day, the discussion brings me back to a quite general question/belief: How can our ethics, morals, politics, and allocation of resources align so that doing the best for one’s own child can be directly in alignment with and not in conflict with serving all children and their needs?
