Red Nose Education
It is not unusual for babies to wriggle & move around their sleep environment before they are rolling.
Some babies do not respond well to wrapping & may wriggle to attempt to get out of the wrap/swaddle.
Some babies like to touch their face with their hands.
You could try modifying her wrap by wrapping her with her arms out (using muslin wrap under her arms) or in the case of Love to Dream, use it with her arms out.
The other option is to use a sleeping bag with arms out.
It is important that baby’s head & face remain uncovered & as you are doing, always place baby on the back for sleep.
She may not be long away from rolling, so she will need her arms free then.
It might also be helpful moving her to her cot where she has more space.
Red Nose has the following information about modifying wraps.
If you wrap your baby, consider baby’s stage of development. Leave arms free once the startle reflex disappears around 3 months. Most babies eventually resist being wrapped. Wrapping style should be appropriate for the baby’s developmental stage.
