Fidgeting Sleeper

My DD is almost 5 months old and is generally a good sleeper. Goes down easily, settles well and we put her in a grobag. The problem is, she's such a fidgeter! Arms flailing, kicks her legs up all the time and I think she's wakes herself up doing it. She used to be in a sleepyhead but we've taken her out of it as she was getting too big.

What alternatives are there to grobags/sleeping bags? I understand you shouldn't swaddle them when they can roll.

I'm wondering if there's anything I've not thought of, so seek the wisdom of MN!

My youngest son was (and still is at 9) like this. In the summer I used to put him to bed in just a footless babygro and vest with a light blanket over the top if it was slightly cooler. Both of my boys were always very warm when they slept though. In the winter I changed to normal pj's and toddler duvet tucked in at the foot end from when they were still in a cot. Probably not much help but I understand where you're coming from!!
