We’re excited to share the findings of a new report published in the European Journal of Midwifery on the Spinning Babies® approach and its role in promoting fetal head rotation during labor.

Key Findings:
✅ Women whose babies began labor in occiput-posterior or occiput-transverse positions, 93.3% of those who used Spinning Babies® techniques experienced rotation to the anterior position by delivery.

💡In contrast, only 63.6% of women in the control group (who did not use Spinning Babies®) saw that rotation.

✅ Use of Spinning Babies® was associated with a 45% increased likelihood of achieving anterior positioning (RR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.23–1.72), after adjustment for parity and analgesia.

What does this mean?
While the study is retrospective and further research is needed, these results suggest that Spinning Babies® techniques may help support more optimal fetal positioning during labor, potentially making the birthing process smoother for many women. 🫶

We’re thrilled to see clinicians and researchers beginning to examine what many of us in the birth-work community have long observed. ❤️

In a harrowing account, Tanya Bender shares the life-altering consequences of turning a toddler's car seat forward-facing too soon. Her granddaughter, Aniyah, was just 2 years old when a car accident left her with catastrophic injuries. Despite the seat being correctly installed and in compliance with the law, Aniyah suffered an internal decapitation at her C1 vertebra, leading to partial paralysis. Tanya's message is clear: rear-facing seats offer the best protection for young children. She urges parents to keep their children rear-facing as long as possible, emphasizing that the minimum age requirement doesn't necessarily equate to the safest choice.
