I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and my doctor told me that my baby is in the breech position. Have your babies flipped? Do you know when they flipped?

Hi all my baby is 2 weeks old today and suffering with congestion. He's giving out little snorts all the time, as much as it's adorable I don't like to see him suffer with it and it's making him over tired and grizzly. Does anyone have any advice if they've had this with their babies? Thanks all
