I want to put together a few videos to watch with my husband before the baby arrives and wanted to see if there were any suggestions. I am mostly looking for you tube type options. We have watched The Business of Being Born and the follow up to that.
So far my list includes Ina May's Ted talk, the five S's, rebozo sifting and a clip on putting on cloth diapers.
Any other good ones we should watch? Birth or baby care related would be great!
Thanks!

I like "Doula!" a lot. Anything by Ina May is good. Maybe some Bradley birth stuff if you're hoping for an unmedicated birth? You have a good list going

@Cole: you have a great list so far! What about some swaddling demos?

I would watch as many labors and live births as you can unless you're squeamish. Including cesarean just in case!
ETA: maybe also videos of breastfeeding, if they exist? Not tutorials necessarily, but just seeing women doing it different ways, in public, with and without covers, etc. to normalize it.

Great ideas! Thanks, I will definitely include some of these things. It's so nice to have these resources to help out with this process!

My husband loved The Great Sperm Race - I think that's what it's called - the BBC documentary about conception.
It's not about birth or labor, so maybe not what you are looking for, but it was really fascinating. I'll be looking into the other ones mentioned!

I second the breastfeeding videos. I watched a few tutorials on YouTube to kind of get a better understanding. It helped a lot.

@Cole: Stanford School of Medicine has a whole bunch of good videos on breastfeeding and pumping:
