Flipping Baby?

Has anyone used that technique, or even heard of it?
My "father-in-law" did it to my almost 3 week old & I haven't seen any change in his sleeping.

It has to be done the right way. My mom flipped both my kids. It had to be done twice with my daughter. You swaddle them and then flip them head down towards you and then back up slowly.
