Yes, Henci I have seen the baby held upside down by two practitioners-- only once by the feet (which I know is awful for the baby's back) in what seems to be their standard of practice.  One doc is from the 60's, but the other is probably no more than 50 himself. 

Anyway, although it seems absurd, I was just wondering-- what were/ are doctors thinking by doing this?  What was the supposed benefit?
