Rolling over during sleep

Question

Hi mummies, need some advise and help!! My baby is turning 4 months in a few days and she also recently mastered rolling over on her tummy but unable to roll back yet. She goes to sleep being swaddled but nowadays strong enough to struggle out and able to roll over during her sleep. What I realise is her face is always down when she roll over making her struggle to breathe and she would make noises. I’m just afraid she rolls over at night and sleep on her face down on the bed and i don’t know cos i’m also asleep. What should i do?If i swaddle her, harder for her to roll but if she roll it’s dangerous. If i don’t swaddle her, easier for her to roll and she will keep rolling over when sleeping. What are your advises? 🥲

Get the star shape swaddles. Those with 2 way zipper. Life saver for me. They would still be able to feel like being swaddled and sleep well while the arms have more movement for them to lift themselves compared to conventional swaddles. I switched mine to this completely when my baby started signs of rolling at 3.5 months. Now at 4.5 months he can roll back and forth on his own while sleeping even when we zip him up. I am still using it because he would scratch his face and head without it and cause scars.
