What's in My Hospital Bag 2020 (Dad/Guys Edition) 

Some other important things to remember! Make sure you bring any necessary medical documents and have that insurance card ready to go. Also, have a pediatrician picked out well beforehand. Good luck folks!

Great video! My husband did pretty well, but he forgot the snacks!! I was starving after having the baby 😩 lol please don't forget snacks for your wife!!

These are my weekends now. Filled with baby 👶🏾 tech and birthing classes. Two weeks to go.

I wonder how many wives are watching this cause they know they are going to be packing for their husband 🤣

I have been researching a lot prior to getting pregnant, and of ALL of the videos and RU-vid channels with respect to babies, yours is the best BY FAR!!!

Thank you sir! We are expecting in less than a month and this information is priceless. Love the channel, big fan!!!

Your videos have been giving me confidence for more than 3 months now. My wife and I will be having our first baby next month and we are really thankful for creating nice videos. :)

Still got a little ways to go before baby arrives and as a new dad I just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I’m learning a lot and finding them to be super helpful. Appreciate what your doing. Thank you & God Bless!

We are about to have our first in the next few weeks! You are a lifesaver and the only person I use for info on everything! Thanks a bunch! Hope you are all safe and healthy!

Thank you!!!! Wife and I are expecting our first in 3 weeks. Had no clue what to put in my bag. Thanks!

Thanks for this video!! ive been super busy getting things ready for our baby girl to come in may. The baby hospital bag was on the to do list of things to research, thanks for making it easy on new dads! I appreciate all of your time to make this for us it was really helpful

Good for you for actually doing your part.

discovering this video in 2021 and loved it! thanks for outlet extender tip! will be sure to add one to our may 2021 bag!

@dad Verb thanks for this Video! My wife and I are expecting in September, and this was very helpful!

Super helpful video! Our 1st baby is due in a few short weeks & these tips will definitely come in handy!

I can't believe you worked a scene from Heavyweights into your video, but I love you for it. "The cinematography!"

Thank you so much! Using these tips to pack my bag as we speak! Baby is due in 3 weeks!!

I'm a newborn photographer myself and I always recommend to book your session while youre still pregnant! Obviously not at the early stage but even 1-2 months before your due date. Busy photographers might be fully booked and it's important to get the pictures done at the first 14 days of life!

I’m glad I found this video and many others because I just found out that I’m gonna be a father so watching this video definitely makes me feel more prepared 👍

Thank you sir, due date for us is next month, you gave me some ideas I had not thought about. Thanks!

Dude you are a Champion! Thank you for making this video :)

I'm so glad you mention the clothing thing! Our hospital will let you put them in your outfits but when they go to the nursery for a bath, they put them in a hospital onsie.

This video is so perfect love it all the information that i need to know before goin to hospital thank you so much for your help 👍😘😘

Thank you! Expecting a baby in a few weeks, enjoyed the video!

Awesome tips and fantastic advice throughout - thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! We’re expecting in Feb and this really helped to see some things much clearer. Also, the Heavyweights clip = automatic sub 😃 So thankful I found your channel - making popcorn so I can start catching up on your previous videos!

Not even a Dad/Virgin, but I like to see videos like this.

Love this video! Such great tips and it's great timing for us too as we will be packing our bags in another month or so. 😊 Possible video idea: if you went to a birth class/classes what was your experience?

Wish i would have found this before having our baby. It would've saved me a lot of stress in figuring it out on my own. Our hospital provided so much that my husband didn't need half of what he packed, though. Better than the other way around! Also, repping that BYU hoodie!

Thank you!!! This video is extremely helpful!!

This was perfect, really appreciate the video

I'm a mom and this was such a great video! This is going to be my husbands first time going through the whole labor and delivery thing and I'm more concerned with his comfort than mine because he is such a particular man. So this video definitely hit some points I didn't think of.

Just watched this video. But also added to my “watch later” list.

Good stuff, already commented a while back but we are 5 days and counting and needed a refresher. thanks again!

It’s good to see this from a guy’s perspective. Thanks.

omg I've been look for this for my husband!! Thank you!!!! lol

This seriously made the stay with my wife in the hospital a lot easier! She had to have an unplanned C section, so instead of 348 hours in the hospital we were there 4 full days. My only amendment to this is prepare for the worst case scenario, and pack 3/4 days worth of clothes. The snacks saved my butt, trail mix, crackers, nuts anything filling and able to eat one handed.

HA! First off, great channel, I've been watching a lot of your videos because my child was scheduled for mid-april. Hadn't had the chance to watch THIS one though, and the little guy came 6 weeks early. Definitely improvised everything as my "prepare hospital bag" task was scheduled for a few days later haha. Anyway, good job on the channel!

Taking everything from the hospital 😂. I don't have to worry about that between my mom sisters and my husband!

Great video and super helpful, but I'd also like to give some love to that Motion Butter logo/sign you've got on the wall. It's just too good not to point out!

Thank you for the tips!!

Expecting our first just after Christmas 2018, this video has been super helpful brother. Thank you!

Im expecting my first child and man this Video is a lifesaver !

I can't wait to see my lil girl. She due on November 6. Your tips are very helpful. I will be planning on shopping soon just to make sure I be prepared.

Wish this video was around when I went into labor. My s.o didn't pack anything lol, he had 9 months to prepare, 2 weeks before I told him to get his bag ready, never did lol Good job for making this vid! Awesome dad!

SUPPPER helpful! Thanks for video ( Joe here the husband ) . This is my wife's and I channel as she has been documenting her week by week pregnancy journey, and your channel is great! As a creative director... clean lines and design is my every day and so many of your videos touch or favor that esthetic ( not always my wife's taste but she is learning ) . Anyway love the video and channel... great stuff and keep it up... 21 weeks pregnant and counting.

1 week left 🤞 , watching to see if you mentioned anything I might have forgotten.

saw those jets jerseys in the closet. LFGGGG currently packing our hospital bag.

Prepping is good but honestly just be there for your wife. Men, we don’t need to make it complicated. A few changes of clothes and the car set being secured is good enough. Make sure she has a her stuff ready and whatever she wants to take, that’s the most important part in terms of packing.

Oh my gosh!! Thank you!! Perfect timing. I’m having a scheduled for a c section next week, and I’ve got a list of things to pack for me and baby but my husband and I are trying To find a list of stuff for him to bring!! Thank you so much!!!

Great video! My baby girl will finally be with us in 29 days

I’m so glad I found your channel! My husband’s already freaking out and I’m not even pregnant yet. I’ve shown him some videos from nurses/doulas, but I think he’ll relate more to a man’s perspective. One other good thing to pack that I heard mentioned on another channel is some sort of sleeping mat for dad so he can sleep more comfortably during a long hospital stay.

Our baby will be here in about 4 weeks so thank you for this video and your other content. It's all definitely been a great help for our first baby.

Thanks bro appreciate the pointers I was pretty lost

Dad of twins here. We're due just before Halloween. My wife was looking for a snack list for the hopital bag and I stumbled acrossed your vid. Thank you for being a voice for us guys in this experience.

Good tips i need to improve my backpack 😬

“negative ate” 👌👌

Great video. Gave me so good ideas and some things to think about. Got a little over a month till due date.

Hahah “negative are” I hear you brother. My wife had a 36 hour labor followed by a cesarean.

Not from the US but this was some solid advice. Thanks for sharing!

Hurts me when you say you need to pay for your stay at the hospital. In Norway, everything is free. Normally, they'll charge you a small fee for each visit to the hospital/doctor and you'll have to cover some of your medicine etc. ( Still really cheap, and if you have paid over a certain amount over the year, it'll all get covered/free. ) But from the second you get a positive test, everything is free. Completely free, if you're insecure just call ahead and take all the tests they need. They'll follow you closely all the way, multiple checkups and ultrasounds. Doesn't even need to related to the pregnancy, if she'd have broken her leg everything would've been free, etc. And my wife has been unable to work for a while and gotten it covered, we'll soon get 10 months of full leave from work, with full pay, that we can share (almost) how we want. + 4 weeks (2 each) of leave right after the birth. After that we'll get a small amount to cover food, clothes and basics for the baby untill it turns 18.

Great list. Only had one question though a comfy pair of Metcon 3’s? I hear that right? Lol. God bless you thinking a hard sole training/lifting shoe is your Cindy pair of shoes. You’re an absolute savage!

Negative ate! lol. My wife did the same haha. Keep up the great work!

Your Videos have been most helpful. Thank you and thanks to You Tube, for without y’all I’d be so lost💪 God Bless

Thanks for the tips. I have twin boys coming my way within 4 wks 😅😅😅😅😅

I don't know how it is in your region but here in Estonia, you can get a personal midwife. Our worked at the very same hospital where we had a delivery. So when we had to go and things started to happen fast even before reaching the hospital, thanks to the midwife the paperwork and everything was taken care for even before we arrived. If it's your first baby, everything is happening so quick so even when labour does take time, you want as little distractions as possible. Getting a midwife is a good idea!

this video is pretty much perfect, i'm gonna show it to my husband. however, if you are looking into a newborn and even a maternity photoshoot, you want to try and schedule it a bit ahead of time with some places. it can be tricky, especially for a newborn shoot, to schedule a month or two ahead of time because you never know what could happen but usually photographers are pretty understanding and will try to work with you and when your baby decides to come.

Nicely done!

Awesome video. The only thing I would add is that yes, get comfortable swaddling but, don’t think it is required. Both of my boys absolutely hated to be swaddled so while it was nice to know how I didn’t use that knowledge very much lol.

6 weeks left for me!!! Cant believe im gonna be a dad lmao! may end cant come soon enough

This video is helpful. My girlfriend is due on July 31st. It's happening soon.

Hey man if I can add, I was terrible at swaddling but I found two amazing products that helped. One was the miracle blanket and the other was the swaddle me blanket. Those were a God send with my daughter.

This helped a lot bro

I'm so grateful we were able to film EVERYTHING. It's funny because we didn't have our car seat with us, and Trevor had my family bring him his razor. When we were told we were an hour away from pushing, he showered and shaved. 😂😂😂 We had a nice ballin delivery room.

All great advice. Im going to be a dad to twins in less than 3 months and I couldn't be happier so thanks for the tips!

Thank you... Our Baby is due in June so this is exciting!!

Just found your channel, and adoring everything you make :)

METCON 3's NICE!

Closing in on our first baby, 4 weeks! This was super helpful! Thanks!

Bro how did you get 4 thumbs down... they need they’re accounts deleted 7 weeks until expected due date for me! Great video thank you!

Thank you Sir! Expecting my 1st lil on and getting my bag ready. You just made a new SUB!

cool thx!!

Got a whole bag of snacks ready! No clue how to change a diaper though.

All that BYU gear confirming what I had strongly suspected after watching a couple videos! The vibes are unmistakable. Especially to another member! Huge thanks for your insightful videos! They make the process of planning for our first baby this fall a lot less stressful.

I just got home from the hospital wish I watched this before

With my first child my husband was in the same clothes for 3 days he also froze at night we went for a swim when I went into labor he didn't have a bag and we had to go

My son is due on March 24 and he’s almost 10 lbs

Thinking about bringing bed sheets with me to the hospital to lay over the chair since there’s been so many guys sleeping in it over the years. Yes, I’m sure they’ve cleaned it, but still feels gross 😖

Any specific advice on being in the room while in labor? I’ve read that while in labor broth and crackers are allowed.

What car seat (brand/model) are you using at time stamp 3:28? Recommend?

In addition to the snacks I would take some extra change and dollar bills for the vending machines just in case.

I had to spend several nights with fiancé in the hospital for surgery. Not baby related. A pillow from home!!! Hospital pillows do not cut it.

i have a baby due in august thank you im nervous

Expecting father here. Was wondering how COVID has been affecting childs births.

I got to really pack bc my hospital won't let me leave the room once we get there due to covid.

Hey brother we are expecting in the next few weeks¡ I’m very anxious. Any bourbon........ thank you

What was that one long word he said at the end of the video to take home again?

What do you mean when you say that you paid for the hospital stay?

PJ’s+slippers for dads or not?

also bring extra money that your health insurance may not cover for circumcised baby boys if so for me mines cover and my hospital did it before leaving to go home with baby and bring a fold because your nurses will send you home with a lot of knowledge papers on the baby and caring for yourself and baby and tips and more more papers also some hospitals like mines have a lot baby items and items for mom to take for recovery like medicine and pads so whatever was in my recovery room I got to take home it was mine with that said bring an extra bag for that to easy carry out.
