My baby is starting to roll over on their own—is it dangerous to keep swaddling?

Yes, if your baby is starting to roll on their own, you need to stop swaddling right away. A baby who can roll may end up face-down inside the swaddle, which can restrict breathing and significantly increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and current pediatric guidance recommend stopping swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs of rolling. Instead, place your baby on their back for sleep, and you can use a wearable sleep sack with their arms free. The transition may create a few restless nights, but safety comes first—don't delay this change.
