Hi, we have a 5 week old baby who is extremely active. We have been swaddling him because the Moro reflex disturbs his sleep but he is able to get out of his swaddle when we swaddle his arms. As a result we have been swaddling only from the waist down, as we are concerned that he could bring the fabric over his face, when he is freeing his arms. We occasionally swaddle his arms when we are walking around with him to soothe him and he does find this soothing. We were wondering whether Red nose consider the sleep suits safe where the baby's arms are swaddled near their faces, such as the Love to Dream brand, as we were thinking something like that might help. The other thing is he is already trying to roll when we put him in his basinette and trying to sleep on his side. We have been pinning him down flat on his back by tucking him in with a swaddle, down the sides of the basinette. I am wondering if the Love to Dream suits would reduce the chances of him rolling or whether it would be unsafe to have his arms restricted if he did try to roll wearing the suit?

​Most babies don’t start to roll intentionally till about 4 months - some earlier, some later.
Red Nose recommends always place baby on back to sleep.
However, there seems to be a number of babies who wriggle/roll to their side or get out of their wrap, at a very early age, as you are describing.
Sometimes it is because these babies do not respond well to wrapping, & are less likely to roll when unwrapped, (ie both arms out)
At times babies like to touch their face when sleeping.
It may be helpful if you continue to wrap under arms only, using a muslin wrap, or to cease wrapping.

If he is attempting to roll when in his bassinet, it may be time to move him from bassinet into his cot.
All swaddling (muslin wrap or swaddle suit) should be ceased when baby is rolling.

Red Nose also has the following information (in part) about swaddle suits.(See full article in link below)

wrapping and swaddle products
The material of the wrap or swaddle should not cover the face or head, particular if baby sleeps with arms in different positions. If the item is too big for the baby, some zipped swaddle suits that enclose baby’s hands, have been shown to allow material to cover baby’s face and nose when baby raises their hands above their head during sleep. All sleeping attire designed to cover the baby’s shoulders should have separate neck and arm holes or should ensure that they do not allow the face covering if the baby was to move their arms in different positions.
Any product that is used as clothing on the baby or in the baby’s sleep environment should not restrict the movement of a baby who is able to roll. Wrapping should be discontinued as soon as the baby shows the first signs of being able to roll. Positioning aids that restrict movement of the baby are not recommended and have been associated with infant deaths.
