Build on the Spinning Babies® workshop skills you’ve previously learned, and learn skills to promote body balance for fetal positioning and pregnancy comfort in this 4-day training. These skills can be used in your practice for pregnancy, birth and non-pregnant people. The Breech Tilt is a widely-known inversion technique to help a breech baby flip to a head-down position. The Breech Tilt is not invasive. The Breech Tilt position is for creating the best angle to back a breech baby out of the pelvis and allow the baby to flip.
Hanging out in this position may also help the baby tuck the chin as the head presses into the top of the uterus. To encourage flexion and to prevent engagement of the breech presenting baby. A study was done that showed improved rates of baby flipping compared to not doing any type of inversion. Get a broad, sturdy plank of wood, such as a shelf or an ironing board. Prop it at an angle against a couch or chair, so that the high end is roughly inches above the floor.
Spinning Babies®️ Aware Practitioner Workshop
A few pillows stuffed around the base will help prevent any tipping. Now lie on your back on the board with your head down and feet resting on either side of the board on the couch. Put another pillow under your neck for extra support. Remain on the board for up to 20 minutes. Do this times a day, in addition to other techniques during that time. Balance: The womb hangs from cervical ligaments which stretches the ligaments slightly.
When you get up, the ligaments relax. With repetitions, this helps the lower uterine segment become more balanced. Gravity: Gravity moves the baby onto his or her head.
Daily Activities
Tucking the chin helps the baby flip in the same way that it does a gymnast. Also, the hips are encouraged to either come out or stay out of the pelvis. After the chin tucks, the baby is ready to move the head down, assuming there is room to get the head to swing down and there is enough room in the lower uterine segment to receive the head. If you are told your baby is breech, you can start as early as weeks and continue until you know that your baby is head down.
Some doctors suggest starting later because most babies eventually flip on their own. Ask your doctor if there is any medical reason not to do a Breech Tilt for your breech baby after 30 weeks. I also recommend Moxibustion, Rebozo Sifting , chiropractic work, and other balancing activities. For more information, you can read about babies in a Breech position. In the UK and Australia, women are encouraged to do the Open-knee-Chest position for 10 minutes, 3 times a day to help their breech baby turn head down.
