Webster chiropractic technique for turning breech babies

Hello, just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Webster technique (advanced chiropractic) for helping breech baby to turn? I am 30 weeks and really hoping for a second home birth. I can't stand the thought of having to go to the hospital with all the lights and people. Our local hospital has closed so we are looking at a 45min journey, after my last very quick very straightforward birth I'm not sure about trying for a natural delivery and having such a long car journey. I also feel like I'm likely to be very stressed so raises the probability of an emergency C-section. I am currently doing the spinning babies exercises and hopefully trying Webster technique next week. Anything else I can try? I am hoping I have enough time to make it successful but will want to try for an ECV if not turned. I'm also really worried about having to go to hospital I don't trust around the Christmas period too.

Chiro is good but I don’t know it’s always going to be the golden ticket. Keep doing spinning babies, inversions, ball sitting, walking. I even tried acupuncture for mine but unfortunately nothing worked. You still have time though! Once you get to 36 weeks is when it gets more nerve racking. I opted out of ECV but you decide what’s best for you! Hang in there and just keep doing all the things!

Have you heard of moxibustion? It’s Chinese medicine but shown to be effective nhs do recommend it. Sending you turning vibes!

Also homeopathics, pulsatila. Have you checked breech without borders website for their list of providers? I had my baby at home, born complete breech.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
