Swaddling Baby??

My baby is 6 months old and is wrapped in a muslim wrap before every sleep.... She is rolling when playing on floor but hasn't shown any sign of doing so in cot, but when did others wean off swaddling and for those who still do, what do you wrap your baby in?

My DD is 6.5 months and still swaddled. I put her in a 'woombie' so she can't get out of it, and she can't roll in it either (although not sure whether all won't be able to roll).

Not sure when I'm going to stop swaddling, she has crazy arms and it takes ages (and lots of rocking!) for her to go to sleep without swaddling.

I still wrap ds 6 months. I think you will know when ur bubs doesn't want to be wrapped up. They will let you know.

Jasper was wrapped till 14 months. I wrapped him initially in a muslin wrap but when he got too big wrapped him in two cot sheets

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but a CHN told me its' against SIDS guildelines to swaddle once they can roll.

I learnt this after we re-discovered the brilliance of swaddling when DS was 1 (in a cotton sheet). It was a real heartbreaker to give it up again!
