Rolling and swaddle?!

Question

Any one know the rules for swaddling? My little one rolls from belly to back, but not back to belly. She will be 15 weeks Monday.  We did a one arm out swaddle for a week and then she rolled for the first time belly to back, so she’s in a halo sleep sack now. She was sleeping 10+ hours and is now awake every couple hours but is usually soothed with her pacifier. Any suggestions? Can I still safely swaddle one arm out for a little longer to help transition? I’ve thought about the zipadee zip transition swaddle but I wasn’t sure if it was with it.

Answer

Zipadee zip is what we use. He sleeps from 7pm-6am.  He self soothes easily!  I’ve tried pretty much every other transitional swaddle

Answer

Zipadee zip worked great for my 13 week old! She transitioned out of her swaddles two weeks ago and sleeps through the night with her Zipadee zip now. The snuggle band you can purchase with them really helped too. She looks like an adorable little starfish!

Answer

Another fan of the zipadee zip helped us tremendously!!

Answer

Halo sleep sacks are good too

Answer

It’s mostly their hands being out that will wake them, so I’m another vote for a Zipadee or a Merlin sleep suit. I think you are still fine to swaddle though, it’s back to belly rolling that you stop swaddling for.

Answer

I've heard once she can roll from back to belly you have to stop swaddling. My baby is out of the swaddle (not rolling back to belly yet but was getting too big for her swaddle sack). 
We tried several times to transition her before she would actually sleep unswaddled. We did one arm out too for a few days before we tried not swaddling the first time, but she wasn't ready. We went back to one arm out and tried again a week later. Did that a couple times before she was ready. Now she sleeps pretty great at night in her wearable blanket (I recommend the Nested Bean Zen sack) only waking once per night, if at all.
