Infants

The baby stage isn’t just about snuggles and onesies—although sometimes we wish it was. It’s multiple middle-in-the-night feedings. It’s Googling “wake windows” at 2 a.m. It’s trying to remember whether you’re running low on diapers and wipes. It’s booking last-minute doctor’s appointments.

While Hearth Display helps with family schedules and fostering older kids’ independence, it’s also quite useful for parents of infants, too. In fact, the first year of parenthood is exactly when most families realize how essential a shared, centralized system can be. Here's how Hearth supports families from day one:

Sleep Schedules & Feeding Reminders

Even if baby sleep is fleeting, most experts still recommend starting a bedtime routine from day one. Abby Sharpe of Hey Abby Sleep Consulting, says it can be simple. “It’s never too early to begin. You can introduce a bedtime routine as early as a few weeks old,” she says. “For newborns, this might include a short, calming sequence like a bath, a feed, a lullaby, and then dimming the lights.” Hearth helps reinforce that rhythm with feeding and nursing reminders too, so you’re not second-guessing when the last bottle was or trying to remember which side you nursed on.

Introductions To Solids

Is your baby ready to start solids? With Hearth, you can create a simple routine or to-do list to track new foods, reactions, and space out introductions. It’s an easy way to stay organized and avoid repeating sweet potatoes three days in a row. Many experts agree, that a slow roll out of simple-ingredient foods, along with a structured routine for mealtime, helps ease the stress and makes starting solids fun for everyone.

Create Daycare Packing Lists

When it’s time for your little one to start daycare, so many questions can arise. Including, “what do I need to pack?” With Hearth’s recurring to-dos, you can create a running daycare packing list—think bottles, backup clothes, pacifiers, sleep sacks, and more. Set reminders for weekly restocks or other items you might need, so nothing gets forgotten in the morning rush. You can even assign tasks to different family members, so packing doesn’t fall on just one person.

Schedule Doctor’s Appointments

In that first year, it can feel like you’re in and out for the doctor’s office all the time. Between well-baby visits, vaccines, and those unexpected sick appointments, it’s easy to lose track of your baby’s schedule. With Hearth, you can log upcoming appointments, set reminders to book the next check-up, and sync everything across devices so all caregivers stay in the loop. No more flipping through your phone or wondering if it’s time for the six-month shots.
