My little boy is 15 weeks old tomorrow & rolling on his side in his sleep. We have had to swaddle bag him since a few weeks old due to serious crazy arms and legs that literally keep him awake but because of his rolling, I know I need to try and take him out of the swaddle. Can anyone recommend a way of doing this? I have tried letting 1 arm out and he just goes crazy with it and it prevents him from sleeping - I'm at such a loss.

I started with one arm but for a short amount of time. The first night we only managed 20 minutes and she wouldn’t sleep, but then the next night we manged 40 mins and each night we got a bit longer and then by the end of the week she was fine x

We started arms out during the day around 7/8 weeks - 1 arm at first. It definitely led to like a week of short naps or no naps, but now he’s doing fine with both arms out at night. It’s still a struggle to put him down, since it triggers his startle reflex, but sometimes I just hold him arms down gently until he’s down for a few seconds and that seems to help.
