The short list, by stage
Build your list here, then buy wherever you like. WaaBee never checks out for you or stores your card.
Pick a stage, add what you need, and your list count follows you down the page.
Bassinet or crib with a firm, flat mattress
The one big piece most parents set up first.
Rear-facing infant car seat
You need it to drive home from the hospital.
Newborn diapers and fragrance-free wipes
Start small; babies outgrow newborn size fast.
A few bottles and a cleaning brush
Even if you plan to nurse, handy for helpers.
Wearable sleep sacks
A few sizes so there’s always a clean one.
Burp cloths, lots of them
Parents in the Hive say you can never have too many.
Diaper cream and a changing pad
Keep one station per floor if you can.
Digital thermometer
Ask your pediatrician which type they prefer.
High chair that wipes clean
For first foods around the middle of the first year.
Soft spoons and bibs with a pocket
Less mess, more fun.
Floor mat for tummy time and play
Easy to wipe, easy to move.
Stroller that folds with one hand
Your back will thank you.
Board books and stacking toys
Pair with free books from our Resources page.
Spill-resistant cups
Two or three, so one is always clean.
Toddler backpack for daycare or grandma’s
Spare clothes, snack, favorite toy.
A shared “running low” checklist
Free: log it as a handoff task in the app.
Basic first-aid kit
Keep it where every caregiver can find it.
Labeled bottles and containers
No more guessing whose milk or which leftovers.
How picks are chosen
Lists come from what parents and caregivers in the Hive actually use. Some links may earn WaaBee a small commission; it never changes what’s on the list.
Running low? Log it.
Caregivers can add “We’re almost out of wipes” as a handoff task in the app.
