Swaddle to arms out transition??

Hi all I'm struggling to transition my LO to sleep with his arms out. Ever since he was born he's only ever been able to sleep swaddled. When he was newborn we'd swaddle him in a blanket. Since then we've always used the tomee tippee gro-bags. For the past 2 months or so, he took preference to sleeping either on his side or on his front, and would use the sleeping bag as leverage to flip himself over, before he could roll independently when awake. He's got amazing head control and I pay close attention to it, he's always able to lift his head and will frequently adjust it side to side through the night while sleeping. The issue is he's not yet able to flip himself back over so if he gets restless I have to roll him myself, also because his arms are tucked I always have to pop his dummy back in through the night.

I'd like for him to get used to sleeping with his arms out so he can learn to do these things on his own, but whenever I've attempted to free his arms (even one at a time) he just flails them around its almost like he doesn't know what to do with them, then he'll get agitated and start crying. He'll also pull his dummy out of his mouth to suck on his hands, but then gets frustrated if he can't get it back into his mouth and will cry. He just fidgets and whines none stop until eventually I tuck his arms back in then he'll go to sleep immediately 😩 I'm worried that he should be able to sleep with his arms out by this stage. Especially now he's learning to roll independently. Looking for advice as a FtM🫶🏼

Picture of my bubs in his fav position🤣 (sometimes ill unzip the bottom as he likes to tuck his legs up) but I make sure to zip it back up before I go to sleep so it can't lift any higher up his body☺️

Speech

Hi everyone I am just at such a loss here. My son isn’t saying any clear words. He has been in speech therapy since he was 16 months and was of course evaluated for autism but they didn’t see any signs of autism in him so that can’t be it. He does use some gestures and understands quite a bit. His little brother is arriving in August and I’m really hoping some words will come before then. Any one else experience this with their child before 2 and then words came??

Baby hitting themselves

Hey everyone, I hate going to Google because it just makes you feel very uncomfortable afterwards. My 18 month old has recently in the past week started to hit himself on the head with his hands and sometime in our play room foam floor he will hit his head against the ground. I googled (i know your not supposed to) and it said that it can be a sign of frustration of not being able to communicate. When he would hit himself i would obviously react and grab his hands and say no sternly. I dont know if my reaction has made it worse because it has become more frequent. He sometimes will go to hit me and once has went to go bite me. Can someone give me some advice.

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do
