Boodle rolled from back to tummy, while swaddled, twice Monday night (I rolled her back the first time and 5 minutes later she was on her stomach again). I thought it was probably a fluke so swaddled her still Tues and Weds. But last night she did it again. So at this point, I assume it's not a fluke and no more swaddles? Gratefully, she has yet to do it unswaddled, but I'm terrified that (a) she won't sleep unswaddled, and (b) far worse, she will roll and will want to sleep on her stomach which freaks me the hell out. I turned her brother back onto his back when he started doing the same - and he was 8.5 months old (he was a late roller).
Oh, and 5 minutes ago she did tummy to back. I was not expecting this after the precedent Toodle set (he had to be evaluated by EI for not rolling around 7 months - but rolled for the first time at his intake evaluation).
Re: So how many times before it's definitely not a fluke?

Ditto this. I'm not sure how you stop a baby from rolling. I never figured it out!
Elizabeth rolled back to stomach at 3.5 months and quickly became a stomach sleeper. It's one reason we kept her in our room until she was 6 months. She wasn't swaddled though, so that may have made it easier for her to roll.

I say not a fluke. I'd try and go without the swaddle, or at a minimum, arms out.
My pedi was adamant - once they can roll...let 'em sleep how they want.

Ditto this. I can't wait for DS to roll back to tummy because he loves sleeping on his tummy but I don't let him stay that way. Once he can get there on his own I will lose the swaddle and let him be!

JJ was rolling really early due to drowning in spit up, he would freak and kick himself over to get rid of it. At around 3 months he started rolling and getting stuck when he did not have spit up and I still thought it was a fluke because he was so random. Now, rolling all the time every possible direction. We have had to ditch the swaddle. I am sad. Not going well this time around (Ry ditched it so easily). Add in his first cold at the same time as ditching the swaddle and practicing a new skill...needless-to-say I am not getting a lot of sleep.
I hate to say it, but I think you need to ditch the swaddle. I hope it goes smoothly.
We actually were swaddling with these until recently when she started getting it undone and putting the blanket over her face so we've been using swaddle mes the last few weeks. And now she's rolling. I do have an Aden & Anais lovey I may try if she needs a lovey. Last night she eventually fell asleep unswaddled and STTN but I don't have high hopes it will be consistent. I had to give her a lovey though which I removed once she was asleep.
ETA: People must have thought this was a surprise BFP #2 post based on the view count! LOL.
