-Breech Tilt Exercise
The breech tilt exercise is simply taking your hips above your heart. Some women do this with pillows stacked under their hips. It's probably easier and more stable to actually lean an ironing board on your couch and lay with your head towards the floor. This works by encouraging your baby to leave the pelvis and flip. Remember, babies want to be head down. It's all physics.
-Cold at the Top of the Uterus
Using something cold at the top of the uterus of fundus, you can encourage your baby to move away from it. Since babies want to be warm and snuggled, this means they will often move away from the cold sensation. A bag of frozen peas works well. Be sure to do this with at least a thin layer of fabric between you and the peas.
-Heat or Music at the Pubic Bone
A positive spin on getting the baby to move, is to play music at your pubic bone or even shine a flash light. Babies have been reported to move towards the sound or light. You might even combine it with the above tip.
-Moxibustion
This is a form of Ancient Chinese medicine that involves burning a Moxi stick near a special point on your baby toe (Bladder 67). This should be performed by a practitioner of Moxibustion. Moxibustion has been studied and proven helpful at turning breech babies.
