Swaddling one arm out & rolling?

Question

My daughter has been sleeping with only one arm swaddled for a little over a week. A couple days ago she rolled over from her tummy to her back & has been doing it since. Well, today she rolled over about 4 times from her back to her tummy. It actually seems like that’s easier for her than rolling the other way. My question is do I need to swaddle her with both arms out now, not swaddle at all & switch to sleep sack, or is it okay to keep swaddling with one arm out? She’s almost 12 weeks btw

Answer

I’d say sack vs swaddle simply because she can move around as needed

Answer

Once she starts rolling you need to stop swaddling because it can be dangerous if they are swaddled and cannot roll back. We use Halo Sleepsacks. They are great! But definitely no more swaddling.

Answer

If they are rolling it is safer to stop swaddling.

Answer

I was told to try one arm out and after a week put both arms out and if baby sleeps well like that for a week then switch to a sack with both arms out and be done with the swaddle but if you do both arms out and baby isn’t sleeping well then baby isn’t ready and go back to one arm out for one more week and then try it again.
