About Dude Dad:
Hi! I'm Taylor Calmus, a Colorado-based actor/comedian. I started Dude Dad© two weeks before my son Theo was born as a way to stay creative while learning to be a father. My wife Heidi and I now have 3 kids and over 300+ videos. My purpose for the channel is to entertain, enlighten and inspire.
In addition to Dude Dad©, I have been in numerous TV shows, commercials, and have regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I will also be hosting my own TV show called "Super Dad" on the new Magnolia Network / Discovery+. Heidi and the kids will also be a part of the show. I am originally from the rural community of Howard, South Dakota.

[@shellegriffin]

I had tears streaming down and then you said he just needs a couple more days. I busted out laughing. Glad you found the pacifier and trusted that random nought of blessing.

[@ThisIsFiftyWithLil]

Time... for some time now this has become my favorite word. Time. Congratulations on wonderful addition to your team! That baby is lucky to have you guys.

[@justsomelady8620]

Yup, I definitely cried. My suprise #5 baby was born at home in 2020. She came so fast, I was completely alone. I caught her and held her close until help came. She had a breathing scare too(while still at home). I really felt your birth story and I'm giving Heidi the biggest virtual hug. Sending love and prayers to your beautiful growing family!! Kelso is a blessed boy and so precious ❤

I love how your dad instincts kicked in, and it ended up saving him from something much more invasive. Praise the Lord. Great job mama and dad. Congratulations💛

teamwork makes the dream work :)

[@tracyblake5638]

Yep. Me too. Sweet baby. Get’s me every time.

[@Hevynly1]

I love your dad instincts. People talk about a mother's instinct, but often leave out a father's, which deserves more of an emphasis. You made his first moments in this world much easier. Well done! On a side note, awesome editing to this video! Really great!

[@burnyizland]

Dads can even go through their own pregnancy symptoms and can have post partum depression. I think most people don't realize the physical effects Dads go through, let alone the emotional.

[@sonadvorakova1458]

Dads definitely deserve more recognition! When me and my brother were little, our parents took us to their friends’ house. They had this big in-ground pool. My brother, who was about 3, wandered off from the adults and fell into the pool. They were busy with something and didn’t notice it. Suddenly our dad turned around, with two or three giant leaps he was at the pool and pulled my brother, who was face down in water, out. Nobody noticed or saw anything, but our dad somehow knew.

[@maggiegkinney8551]

Seeing Taylor's face after Kelso comes out made me smile laugh and cry all as the same time. So precious 💖

[@MH-jg1wy]

That was God... "Tayler, give your son the pacifier." Good job not thinking twice or asking for permission. You're baby Kelso's hero. Heidi, you are such a glowing, strong, amazing and beautiful mommy. What a blessing Kelso is. ❤

[@Ajsupermonkey]

My thoughts exactly! Such a God thing ❤

‘I’m a big mess, actually’. Such honesty 😢 thank you for sharing this difficult part of your life. Wishing you and kelso quick recoveries.

[@JasmineMC27]

Congratulations. Both of my girls are NICU graduates and are thriving now, but it is such a difficult time. I remember leaving the hospital without my baby and feeling like my world was falling apart, and all the guilt of wanting to be home with my other kid but also supporting the baby. Just try to give yourself time to recover and know this won't be forever. Sending you all lots of love❤

[@jenniferbalson511]

I have 2 NICU graduates too ❤

[@overcomingthat2728]

I felt the same way leaving my baby in the NICU. Hes currently my first and only. I remember being thankful that I at least didn't have another child at home to worry about so I was able to spend most of my time with my baby. But I broke down ten times on the way to the car and even days later when I'd have to leave him.

[@sweetheartflores-angela3150]

The unrivaled and amazing determination of a mother during labor and pushing the baby out. it blows me away everytime💜

[@makariajones1031]

Congratulations!! The same thing happened with my daughter. She was in the NICU for 7 days. Now she is loud, healthy, full of life and a huge set of strong lungs 11 year old. Y'all are in my prayers. I know it is scary. Welcome to the world Kelso

[@Imzadi]

NICU mamas unite. I’m over here having flashbacks praying for Kelso and family.

[@barbararose88]

I'm a retired nurse with some high risk OB experience. Meconium aspiration is serious, as you have seen. I'm so glad Kelso is doing well so far. If you have to go and he has to stay awhile, it will be really hard on you. I had to do this with one of my kids and leaving without your baby is rough. But he is getting the care he needs, and you will have him home with your family soon. ❤

[@kimcissell1905]

Me too. RN. HROB.

[@joyreinhardt5183]

I saw that the amniotic fluid was meconium stained😳

[@muchadoaboutkovu]

Got emotional with the talk about watching Heidi prepare the last week. Seeing her getting ready and empowered despite knowing how painful it is.. so good to see. I’m currently on my 7th pregnancy(third surviving baby so far) and I am having a lot of anxiety remembering labor (did both babies before without epidurals) and how hard it is. But recently I keep getting reminded that I was built for this and I can do it. And this video helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ Edit-okay I didn’t see the even more emotional stuff til after I wrote this and wow that is so much to happen after having your baby! Prayers!

[@elliewuzzup7689]

Thank you for sharing your story, this is super inspirational for want-to-be moms like me! I've always felt that I'll probably need to forgo epidurals (I don't do well with pain meds) and I'd also like to have a natural birth if possible. People always say that it's semi-impossible to do and I was feeling discouraged. It's good to hear other women's stories and see that it is possible even in the present day. So thank you this really blessed me!! Wishing you the best on your delivery journey!

[@sailorarwen6101]

I’m 8 months pp and cry at the drop of a hat. This has me sobbing. Praise the Lord for that beautiful little boy and for putting it on Taylor’s heart to give the baby the pacifier! Thank you Lord that Heidi is an amazing woman to her husband and her children and that her birth went well and thank you to the doctors for NOT jumping the gun anyway and for helping Heidi and baby Kelso

[@amandacontreras5467]

I’m also in my 8th month and already knew I was gonna be crying! I’m due April 20th and can’t wait to do this one last time 💕 I pray we both have easy deliveries and healthy little ones 🤗

[@cindybailey465]

[@BrittanyHutto-el5zp]

We've watched yall on KZbin for a while. My son was born at 27 weeks and 4 days. We spent just under 4 months in the NICU. It feels impossible, overwhelming, and scary, but just remember yall aren't alone. My son is 4 now and is thriving. He's the reason I started our nonprofit to help NICU families. You'll be amazed at how resilient babies are. Thinking of yall. Kelso has amazingly tough parents ❤

I am 70 years old and far removed from the time of our own childrens' births, but found myself moved to tears as I watched this. Thank you Heidi and Taylor for sharing this experience with us.

[@courtneyboud4611]

Oh my goodness! This story hits home so much. Our 4th baby was also in the NICU, and did get intubated. They had to drive her to a hospital an hour and a half away from us right after she was born so we were separated for a few hours. Hardest thing of my life! I hope Kelso is doing better, and that Heidi is also doing ok!

How is it even possible to look so good after giving birth to another human being?

[@laurenhardwick1108]

We had our third in Nov. Came super fast and didn't get all the fluid squeezed out....had a 5 day NICU stay. Your story touched us deeply, and we feel how it is to have postpartum not go the way you planned and not get all the baby snuggles and bonding right away.

It looks like Kelso is moving along really quickly, so we pray you get to bring him home soon. Congratulations!!

Heidi talking about processing that first hour hit me all over again. I had twins that were whisked away with breathing problems and taken 1/2 hour away by ambulance to NICU. I was a mess until I was able to hold my son the next day. Then I knew it would be alright.

[@pameladamaris3204]

And I thought my 36 hours of labor, then 3 hours of hard pushing was long. Turns out I had nothing to complain about, lol. They ended up doing a C-section where they accidentally cut into my uterine artery, so we ended up staying a week in the hospital. I didn't get to hold our baby for the first time for over 24-hours, but his dad did, so that made me feel much better.

[@kimberlylewis7948]

Hang in there! I had two babies that needed time in the NICU for different reasons. It can be hard to spend that early time apart, but he will be well taken care of and home before you know it. Those NICU nurses are the sweetest people on the planet.

God bless your growing family. It brings more meaning to the question " Are both mother and baby doing well? ". We need to treasure life and family as a gift. Best wishes for a full recovery to both. And may Everyone s nerves be at peace.

Oh my goodness! Glad you made it to the hospital before Kelso arrived. That was emotional enough, then to see everything else? Wow! Very moving. Hang in there! Sending hugs and love and wishes for a quick recovery for everyone!

Thank God for the NICU . If it weren't for them my son wouldn't be here. I'm so happy for you both. God Bless
