Breach Baby - Recs to Flip

LO is still breach at 34 weeks (checkup today confirmed he or she is enjoying hanging out near my rib cage). The doctor said I can try anything that isn't dangerous - from lightbulb and music tricks to acupuncture. Any other suggestions?

    Checkout spinning babies for position ideas.  I'd say there is still quite a bit of time for the baby to move!

    Acupuncture and moxabustion. You can get moxa sticks from an acupuncturist and do it at home, as long as they show you how to do it correctly.

    DD was breech. I put as many pillows as I could manage under my butt and laid down. I looked pretty awesome. And she flipped, though I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.

    I have a breech one myself too. I have been reading on it, since I should start working on getting her to flip soon. Some things that I found was accupuncture, chiropractor, sommersaults in the swimming pool and swimming in general can flip a breech baby.

    My baby is breech at 35 weeks. I've been doing inversions and the breech tilt (see spinningbabies.com). I went to the chiropractor today to have the Webster technique done, which is supposed to help. If she's still head-down next week I plan to do moxibus

    May sound weird but when I had my birthing class last weekend, the lady who was conducting the class told us a story of a mom who cleaned  the floors in her house by getting on her hands and knees to help turn her breech baby. Sounds weird, but I gue
