Hi Madelaine
 
In my experience I have found that the mothers of babies who are breech usually have something going on in their lives or fear of something in relation to birth. The babies have their heads close to the mum's heart for comfort knowing that something is not right with her.
 
We have successfully turned many babies with hypnosis. A study done in the USA on 2 groups of 100 women where in the 1st group where nothing was done 26% of the babies turned while in the hypnosis group 84% turned.
 
Babies know when you talk to them and also maybe the mum needs some further reassurance that all is OK in her world. I have had them commence to turn while in my office and certainly many where arms and legs are going everyehere.
 
I personally do not agree with the hands on approach. Babies are breech for a reason and I believe that if they don't turn by thermselves then don't mess with nature.
