I see a lot of mamas coming in to my yoga classes having been diagnosed as having a breech or transverse baby. Many of these mamas are diagnosed very early when babies are still moving around and finding their position, but some mamas are receiving this news at 38 weeks and beyond.

​Up until about 35 weeks baby still has an opportunity to move and change positions quite a bit. After that time, movement becomes more limited and challenging. For folks who have been told baby is breech there are many things that can be done from acupuncture to chiropractics to spinning babies and more invasive procedures like version. Often folks will opt for something less invasive first to see if that is enough to encourage baby to move. Did you know that yoga is one of those things that can help?

There are some things that I really wish that I had on hand before in order to make my breast-feeding journey easier (so if you're pregnant now, its not too early to get these items! Trust me, don't wait till its too late!). Here's a list of things every new mama should have if they plan on breast-feeding: ​
