So Robert is now 5 months. He's better since we got his eczema under control and the last few nights of sleep have been better as well. Last night he slept from 6-9:30 and 10:15-4:45 and 5:45-7:15 when I'm pretty sure his sister woke him up.
Anyway, the problem is that he's rolling over swaddled. Last night when he hadn't woken up by 3:15 I went in to check on him. He had rolled over fully swaddled. He was fine, his head was positioned away from the bumper and he was sound asleep but it could have been the other way. So I took his bumper out. When he woke up at 4:45 and I put him back down at 5:45 he promptly rolled over, fussed a little bit and then fell asleep.
So of course everything says that they shouldn't be able to roll over swaddled and that once they do you should stop. So has anyone else had this happen and continued to swaddle? I figured out last night that he sees swaddling as a sleep cue which is why we've had a hard time weening him of it. I guess since I know he's strong enough to turn his head and not end up on his nose I don't really see the concern of letting him sleep on his stomach if that is what he wants.
Anyone???
