...Pretty sure that means you need to stop swaddling, unfortunately! That's what our pedi told us...luckily, LO hasn't rolled yet I hope there's a way around it though! Or maybe she's more ready at this point?

Our ped said it was a health risk to swaddle after rolling since he wouldn't have his hands to roll back or help move his head so we weaned cold turkey when he rolled. I think its easier for them to roll when swaddled unfortunately!

@scg00387: I think you're right! No arm to get in the way to slow/prevent the roll!

Yep, agree that you need to stop swaddling once she rolls!

This happened to us too, ds rolled really early. What helped wean him was to still wrap his belly snug and hold his arms still for a min after putting him in the crib. Good luck!

we did the same as merryc in that we 'swaddled' up to under his armpits for a while -- the snugness seemed to help a bit in the transition.

DS is still swaddled and rolls over, once over he does one of two things: raises his head and screams until someone goes in and rolls him back over or settles his head to the side and goes to sleep.

Yeah, I think so. We stopped swaddling when C started rolling over in it at 6 months. Swaddle weaning is a beast, but she actually started sleeping BETTER after.

@highwire: we had to stop swaddling around 3.5 months because of rolling. We started with one arm out for about two weeks and then went to both out. We were using the halo swaddle sacks. It was tough and coincided with the 4 month sleep regression. LO learned to sleep on her stomach about 3 weeks ago (she's 6 months now.) and sleeps better. I still put her on her back when i lay her down, but she rolls over soon after.

She doesn't sttn but I'll take 1-2 wake ups over 5-6!

@highwire: We need to swaddle wean M too sincce daycare can't swaddle her for sleeping. We can go through the pain together : )

@highwire: Yay for your little roller!

We swaddle weaned the night that LO rolled over while we were putting her to bed. Off it came and she's slept just as well as before. The first night was a little hard - bedtime took about an hour or two longer than usual but it was because she was just so amused with her new trick! She wasn't fussing, just had become very awake and was interested in this new view from the crib

Bedtime now consists of rocking and cuddling until drowsy and then placing her in the crib on her back. Then she yells about it and starts to roll, so I help her a little and then pat her back until she gets comfy. Then she sleeps. I know some babies don't sleep on their tummies even after they start rolling but without the swaddle you can be confident she'll be safe whatever way she ends up preferring to sleep.
