The baby seems to be loving it. How beautiful. Thank you doctor and therapist.

[@candilease938]

Makes me wanna hold that precious perfect baby boy! Omg he’s so sweet! And seems to absolutely love his physio! I bet his parents are truly grateful! I can’t imagine the fear when they saw how he was basically folded! And the pain mama felt birthing him that way!

[@janetwhitten3945]

My grandson was born very flat and with no real muscle tone. He was diagnosed with GAND syndrome and has really severe learning difficulties. He had a lot of physio and eventually was able to sit and then stand. He had to have surgery to lengthen his Achilles tendons and is able to walk short distances. Recently he has been diagnosed with poor muscle tone in his abdominal sphincter muscle and unfortunately is failing to thrive, due to constantly regurgitating his food. He’s only 7 years old and has had a rough time but he’s a great wee boy and although he is non verbal can communicate. He would never have the quality of life he has without his amazing physio therapist

My son was born frank breech via c-section 36 years ago. His legs straightened out by themselves without difficulty in about 6 weeks. He has been such a blessing.

[@Venice805]

He is absolutely ADORABLE!!

[@Maria-sg4zy]

I know I'm being selfish but I wish Dr. Paul, didn't retire. And i'm not even a Mother. Lol.. I enjoy these videos so much and I love sharing what I've learned with the young ladies in the family. Glad he's still reposting previous videos though. Just a joy to watch.

[@joanneburattini4828]

WHAT AN ADORABLE BABY. SOOOO HAPPY

[@martyal]

He seems to really enjoy the massage.

[@theelizabethan1]

What a darling baby boy!! Could not ask for a more cooperative little guy....

[@onlyvistarick3607]

Miss you🙁 You are very good doctor.😦

[@stacyvakassian2334]

You guys are amazing with the babies ! I was born breech ( I’m 53). Footling breech. I weighed 9 and 1/2 lbs and my poor mom had me vaginally. She was a mess after. Needless to say, I was the last ! Lol.

[@julievanderleest]

Yikes and that was before epidurals! Your mom is certainly a super woman.

[@lydiacollins9018]

Bless your poor mother!! She's a superhero

[@chiakum]

Dear Dr Paul, thank you for your love and continuous provision of excellent paediatric medical care for children. It is so heart wrenching when I read so many parents just made irresponsible choices and irreversible medical procedures to their children, that lead to the patient's lifelong suffering.

[@canadianpatriot2638]

Two of my three babies I delivered were “frank breech” vaginal deliveries! This presentation was undiagnosed before it was time to deliver! The only thing I was told to do was double diaper and their legs came down gradually on their own. They are now 52 and 56 years old.

[@pebbles987]

Oh wow !!!

[@M1s1i8]

Hell no you’re a boomer old lady 😒👵

[@ruthr1093]

All I can think is I hope you had an epidural….the pain must have been immense! That’s the same age as my kids! 11:32

[@canadianpatriot2638]

Ruth…no epidural…quick labours…no time! I was truly blessed.

[@cheezyquackers3981]

I had one frank breech. She was born vaginally also! She is now 45. I wish I had known about this massage.

[@julievanderleest]

I never realized that there were different types of breaches. I thought there was breach and not breach. Your channel has certainly taught me so much about little ones.

[@Sabouma28]

*breech

[@julievanderleest]

Apparently I can’t spell. 🤪 Though Breach was a great movie.🤓

[@tonic.1917]

My 2nd daughter was a footling breech.

[@deborahjellenburg4939]

I didn’t realize this either. My brother was born breach in 1959. My mom said he came butt first. He weighed 10 pounds, 6 oz and my mother said her bowels acted nearly the whole delivery. She also nearly bled to death. Believe it or not 2 years later she had my youngest brother. He was born with no problems although he did weigh 9 lbs and 9 oz!

[@IVIastodon]

There is also a baby who can be born sunnyside up

[@aa-dn2hv]

Oh my gosh what a cutie!! I remember when my kiddo was that tiny. They're now in their 20's already! 🤯 Life goes by so fast ♥️

[@benth162]

This is a wonderful video and the little guy seems to be enjoying it so much. I'm 76 but I wish you two would be my doctor and therapist. Those kids are so lucky to have you two working on them. You both deserve a medal !

[@candyDander]

I clicked on the video because of the adorable baby, but this was actually fascinating.

[@IVIastodon]

Lol, same

[@A_T__]

Dr Paul is the best pediatrician! Sending you so much love ❤❤❤

[@cherylholzer4244]

So true he is the best.I wish he was my 2 grandsons Dr. So hard to find good ones. ❤

[@Will-wp2cp]

My sister was born breach (born in 1981), and the nurse forced her legs down right away in the delivery room. My mom heard a pop or some sort of noise like that, and definitely messed things up. 4 or 5 years later my sister later had to have corrective surgery and was in a hip/upper leg cast for a while. I am guessing the nurse had no clue what she was doing?

[@kayBTR]

Sounds like you have a good malpractice case

[@cloverstylez]

It’s amazing how far obstetrical medicine has come since then!

[@mimimonster]

Back then they used to physical hold a baby inside the vaginal canal if the doctor hadn’t arrived and would scream at the mother not to push 😂😂😂 They were even doing that in the mid to late 80’s. Crazy stuff even then.

[@Will-wp2cp]

@Madison Kim Well it was my mom and sister, not me. But yeah they're both doing well. My sister had corrective surgery and is ok.

[@Ratimira_Simundic]

I love and appreciate the work you dr. Paul are doing for little ones. May God bless you!

[@anyamuenchgrieser8686]

What a sweet baby!

[@michelenakamura3360]

I was a "frank breach, 65 now, as well. I was pulled out with forceps & my legs didn't fully go down until about 8 months. After decade's of lower body pain, I learn, from MRI and CT scans, that I had scoliosis.

[@lorelwebber6435]

My mom was same wow is it tough.

[@susangiesler6907]

This was totally awesome! As a retired nurse I’m amazed at DeDe’ skills.

[@LindsayS_TX]

I’m a mom of 4. My first 2 were frank breech and had turned out “frog legs.” My oldest also had really bad torticolis. The hospital told me not to worry about his legs, that they’d assume the right position as he grew and got stronger. Unfortunately, he was born with low muscle tone, too, and ended up very delayed with gross motor skills. He was fitted with AFOs just shy of his 2nd birthday and they were the catalyst that finally got him walking! It’s hard looking back, knowing all that I know now, as a seasoned mom, but I just didn’t know better then. Thankful for videos like this to help educate other new parents!

[@sarahs.9678]

Aww. I feel for you, mom. We don’t know what we don’t know. Good job learning and loving your babies to the best of your ability and growing along the way! We took our son (first child) to PT for the first 9 months due to torticollis. There, they told us so many parents have no idea about so many things, including torticollis and the kids deal with longer-term effects that aren’t discovered until later. These things are very common. You are not alone and you are not a bad parent!

[@andreakovari4001]

he is absolutely precious

[@Leesie77]

My daughter was born exactly this way. I had C-section back in the 90’s. I wasn’t allowed to work her legs. She stayed in a full body brace for the first 6 months to keep her in a frog pose. We bonded however it wasn’t easy at first. It was difficult to really cuddle and cradle her with the brace on. I made it work. She ended up with scoliosis from the position she was in. She needed a lateral release knee surgery at age 15, I have a feeling it’s connected to her position when born. She’s an adult now and have given birth 4 times now. Each time she was in extreme pain in her hips and pelvic area. I have a feeling it’s because she didn’t get the massage she needed. We need more information surrounding these types of births, not only for the babies, the mothers as well. I still have issues still years later from the position from my daughter being in me.

[@Leoandkayi]

Miss you Dr. Paul you are an amazing doctor god bless you

[@RisingTidesAC]

What a sweet boy! May God bless him and help him through his therapy!

[@maryannpand]

My son was born breech birth his feet by his head. Doctor said his bum was stuck in my pelvis. Born one month early and he had a ring around is bum. Not a easy birth but he was fine and he had therapy and my husband and I worked with him every day. He was fine and heathy 🥰

[@PEACEinYESHUA-oj7vc1pk7w]

Oh my goodness! What a little cutie pie! 🥰Imagine how hard it must have been being born that way, but glad he's doing OK now. I have never had any children, but I am completely mesmerised by newborns like this little one. The little things they do, those little noises, I absolutely love newborn feet! I am going through the menopause now so it's too late for me. I so admire the skill of this lady. How she talks to babies and children. She really speaks their language.

[@Teenywing]

Omg he’s just GLORIOUS!

[@baskerlovelyquotes5324]

Thank you Dr.Paul for these amazing videos .I'm glad you continued to work on what makes you happy you are an Amazing Doctor ❤🙏.The therapist is amazing too .Thank you so much ❤🙏

[@karilynn3535]

All my life my siblings joked about how I almost killed my mother in delivery. I was her last child. Apparently I was breech, butt first with the cord around my neck multiple times. I've lived a great life tho not without hip pain and problems throughout my life and that really worsened in 2017ish. In short, radiology showed sacrilization, bilateral, 100% & 90%, along bulging disc Ls 3-4, 4-5. When the results came in my chiro refused to see me any more. I retired at age 61; no longer drive 1.5 hours to work and another home. I can't say if the driving and the sacrilization and bulges was the cause of so much pain but I can conclude that all the teasing I took as a child because I could never bend over and touch my toes with straight knees was real. Post retirement, I am healthy and painfree and do tons of yard work....but still, can't touch my toes 😂

[@monteaenglishbr]

Fascinating video. Thank-you for sharing.

[@kes9612]

Great informational video👍 Now if only we could have one describing physio with "sunny side-up birth's" which often result in C-section nowadays with larger babies. My child also had a genetic anomaly which wasn't diagnosed until 3yrs old but after not hitting milestones @6months interventions were recommended and taken to make sure she thrived! I always learned the most from her Pt who did alot of massage and strengthening\muscle toning exercises and Now she is getting ready to finish the final part (driving) of drivers ed. I am eternally grateful for the Ot, PT and ST therapists she has had through the yrs. Without them, we would be lost but ultimately my child would be at a disadvantage when i comes to doing what other peers her age are capable of. Thank you, for ladies like in this video and Drs who recognize the signs and need for interventions, no matter what they may be!

[@sarahs.9678]

Omg this baby is so adorable. 🥰🥰

[@lorietaylor4665]

My daughter was born with her legs bent towards her ears, she had no problem with her legs going back down. She is now 49 and has no problems.

[@doloresnewman2983]

I love your shows doc! I like meeting your family as well. I appreciated when you took the time to talk to us about covid and when you gave us your discount for the supplements. You are really a wonderful man. Sincerely, Dolores Newman

[@tracyrhymer6639]

My daughter was a Frank Breech 27 years ago. Her hips were out of the socks, and she wore a brace for the first 6 months. It was crazy they pulled her legs down and let go and they went right back over her head.

[@sharonspencer2312]

I had two breach births of 6. The 1st child; butt 1st. After 12 hrs of labor & Dr. delivering babies left & right; he found her feet & pulled her out feet 1st. The other was a twin who was very high under ribs. I had the best nurse ; she massaged her into position. Both born in just over 4 hrs.

[@jodypascoe5812]

I was also born frank breach in the 70's, my hips and sacroiliac joints are badly worn out. I wish they had this kind of therapy back then.

[@gr8bskt]

Same here. My feet were up at my ears, and I got stuck. I've had hip problems all my life, but I'm truly blessed that I didn't suffer any brain damage.

[@smileytow1925]

Our 9 almost 10 year old granddaughter was Frank breech. Daughter went into labor but she knew she would have a c-section. Her legs came right down on their own when they got her out. All turned out fine. Her legs were not a problem, she got her hips ultra-sounded when she was 2 weeks old to check on them. No problems. ❤️ second granddaughter was born 3 years later, regular vaginal birth. Our daughter got to experience both types of births, and we are blessed with two beautiful grandchildren ❤️💕

[@amusingmyslf]

My daughter was a Frank breech. The doctor went back in to bring her legs down. We were so lucky her hips were ok.

[@ChosenLove7]

God's Blessings little lovely baby. Hope all is well🙏🏿🪅🎉🪅✨❤🌺❤

[@rubyjools]

I was a vaginal breech birth in 1954. My mum was in labour for 2 days, it must have been hell. They had to stitch her womb back into position & she only had the one child ..me.. . I believe the staff were negligent. All my life ive had leg & hip pain, I could never walk far & i could never understand it but now listening to these two professionals i see the trauma my body went through being born. 7 years ago I had a double hip replacement after years of suffering.

[@tobefree_tobeme]

I am a retired OB nursing instructor. I used to tell my students, for the baby, going through labor and delivery is like running continuously a marathon you can't stop running in. It is like an adult running for how ever long the labor, delivery and immediate post deliver recovery last. It gave them a whole different out look on why babies sleep so much in the days after delivery and don't really want to suck too much. They are literally exhausted from the process of being born.

[@mgn3618]

My little one was frank breached, too big for vaginal delivery, for few days she would sleep with legs up, thank God she turned out perfect, and walk at 8 months, she's thriving

[@emmsue]

My second daughter was frank breach, she needed to wear a brace for hip displasia. Now, she’s 4 and her hips have improved but not perfect.

[@gloriwest]

Such a cute baby!

[@loiscooper2454]

My first child was born feet first. other than a long painful labor, my daughter arrived 8.6 lbs. with a flattened nose. she's fine now at 51 yrs. and we are thankful that we had a very experienced obstetrician.

[@karenbennett4247]

My first baby was born bum first with her legs bent down at the knees, that was how she was born. She got stuck under my ribs and never moved for months. I had no idea until a week before delivery. We did not have all the mod cons back in the 70s. I kept telling my Dr I could not sit up straight, Epidural had only just started to be used so I was a guinea pig at our hospital. 36 long hours and I had a beautiful baby girl with her head shaped like ET. It never did fully go back in shape.

[@Ouch_TheseAreTheDaysOfElijah]

If she would had wore a helmet she would had been fine, my grandaughter was born eleven weeks early and she wore the helmet for about a year, She is still has tube feeding, and still isn't talking. she is 5 years old.

[@positivelysimful1283]

One of my son's was born breach butt-first. He was so big and I didn't have enough amniotic fluid so they couldn't do a version, I had a C-section. Thankfully he didn't have a problem with is legs or hips. Poor baby there, he deserves that massage.

[@lucilledaub5991]

Great therapy moves.

[@debbiemcdonald8928]

Such a good baby.

[@parvathysundararaman7945]

My daughter, now 36 was born by c section. Breech case. She was keeping her two legs up for so many days. All those came to see her passed comments . ...this baby won't walk. By god's grace, her legs lowered themselves in a month. While bathing, we did small massage with homemade Virgin coconut oil .

[@brittanymathison2991]

[@patricialong5767]

Yes, how well I know this! My kids were born at home but they were exhausted (as was I) and we both needed to sleep immediately after birth! It's a severe ideal! But my births were born normally and with no sever problems, thank the Lord! I had studied very avidly the birthing process and kept my babies skin on skin which really is extremely important for bonding!

[@laurabotts4064]

I have never heard of Frank Breech- is Frank Breech responsible for some people who have developmental delays such as Cerebral Palsy or hydrocephalies. I might be totally off base. Thank you for teaching me something new.

[@aliciaarroyo6]

I was born breech. Idk what kind but my mom delivered vaginaly . I do have hip pain and arthritis. I was diagnosed around age 30 but I had the pain much longer. I wonder if this caused that.

[@sallypalmer1616]

My first son was born footling breech by vaginal delivery (1 1/2 years ago). Luckily he had no problems with the hips what so ever (A1 kategory), even though I have a family medical history of hip dysplasia. I was only encouraged to double diaper him and carry him a lot in the carrier (that specific "frog" position). But he had problems with opening his mouth widely due to some muscle tensing from being born that way around. But we found an amazing osteopath, who treated him a couple times similar the way as shown here and the muscle tensing disappeared. I am pregnant right now and my second is again in breech (31 week right now) and although I hope the baby will turn soon, my gut feeling tells me that I will have another breech vaginal delivery 🙄

[@karenwilliams5724]

Two of my three were frank breech births. Fortunately for them they had no issues.

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

My granddaughter was frank breech. We had to wrap her up with her legs up for a couple of weeks while her legs relaxed to a normal position.
