My baby is 11 weeks old and sleeps in a Tommee Tippee Grobag: https://www.tommeetippee.com/en-gb/product/the-original-grobag-sky-grey-marl-swaddlebag?gclid=CjwKCAjw6eWnBhAKEiwADpnw9r9nVdKm3I5q7dcfraYAI8SPZ01F7kQF4YOTLwjuzRmEe1NtNTcbhBoCvoMQAvD_BwE#530=18441&534=18438

I just put him down (on his back) and he rolled onto his side and and then immediately back onto his back. My understanding is that babies should immediately be unswaddled if they can roll over. Does this include rolling onto their side?! Please help, as I’m wondering if I should unswaddle him now or just sit here watching him all night.

Swaddling your new baby helps them feel safe, snug and secure, just like when they were in mum’s tummy. Our Swaddlebags feature poppers on the armholes to enable you to either swaddle your baby with arms in for total snugness, or arms out to allow them...

I would unswaddle personally if he's attempting to roll about.
Can you pop his arms out like the babies in the pictures from the link you posted?

Thanks

I would unswaddle now.

Oh, dear. That’s what I thought. He is going to be very cross.

Thank you, ladies.

We unswaddled as soon as our little boy looked like he was trying to roll over. We went through a bit of a hellish week or so... For him to actually learn to roll over 8 weeks later 😂 but better to be safe than sorry.
