rolling over and swaddle

DD just started to roll over back to front.  She can do it quite easily and does it ALL the time when she's awake.  We swaddle her at night and she hasn't done it then yet, but I am worried she will and will be stuck without a way to use her arms to lift her head.  Do I need to worry?  Should I just swaddle bottom half (she does NOT like this...she loves to be swaddled whole body).  I knew the days of swaddling would have to end, but she's such a good sleeper that I hate to take it away before I need to.  We have pedi appt. next week for 4 mos. well visit...so I will ask then too...but I don't want to worry until then.

Re: rolling over and swaddle

  • I would be too worried that DD would do like you said and roll over without a way to keep her head up. When my DD starts to roll, I'll be scrapping the swaddle and breaking out the sleep sacks.
  • I would be worried too.  If I were you, I would start weaning from the swaddle.  Good luck!
