Breech babies - at home exercises to do for turning a breech baby?

This kid is currently breech but still has plenty of time to turn. I just want to encourage it to happen!  Any suggestions?

If he doesn't flip on his own by 33 weeks, I'm going to try chiropracture and/or acupuncture.

    My friend says she turned her baby by putting a huge chunk of ice where his head was, and following him until he had flipped head down.

    My son was breech and I tried the exercises where you put pillows under your butt and your legs on the couch. The theory is the pressure on the head will make them turn away from it. Sorry to say but it didn't work for me. Good Luck!

    One of the best things you can do is avoid sitting back too much (couches, bucket seats of cars, etc. ?Keep you knees below your hips. ?Sit on a chair backwards and lean forward on the back, etc.

    ?spinningbabies.com is great, but most exercises are not recommended until later. ?It is normal for you babe to be flipping back and forth right now.

    nothing worked for me either - this poor little guy was literally tied up by his cord  and could not turn.  i hope your little one flips - good luck!!
