Hi all,

My DS is 16 weeks now, and he is getting ready to roll on his own. I currently swaddle him to put down at night (still contact naps during the day).

I know once he rolls I can't swaddle anymore; but his moro reflex is still so strong. We tried with a sleeping bag, and in moments he has got a jump scare, as well call them. And he won't settle, or sleep just becomes overtired and unhappy. His moro reflex is very strong.

What can I do? Any advise please.
Thanks
