[MUSIC PLAYING] Now a couple of weeks before your due date, it's a good idea to pack your hospital bag so you're all ready to go when the time comes. Check with your doctor to see how many nights you expect to be in the hospital. And aside from the personal items and clothing you'll need for yourself, there are a few things you really need to remember for your new baby-- weather-appropriate onesies plus an outfit for them to wear home from the hospital, burp cloths and bibs to help clean up the spit up. Pacifier-- babies have a strong sucking reflex. And a pacifier can help soothe them. Hats, socks and mittens to keep them warm and help prevent them from scratching themselves. Swaddles and receiving blankets to wrap them up safe and secure.
