The average age to stop swaddling baby is around 3 or 4 months of age. If your baby is able to break free of his swaddle, this isn’t necessarily a sign that it’s time to stop swaddling. However, if your baby is consistently breaking free of his swaddle every night, and if that means you have loose blankets in the crib, then it’s time to either stop swaddling or to switch to a safer swaddling blanket. Swaddled babies should NEVER sleep face-down. So if your baby is starting to roll over on to her tummy while she sleeps, that is a strong sign that it’s time to stop swaddling your baby. In general, the best way to stop swaddling a baby is to do it gradually. This means starting by leaving one arm, or one leg, unswaddled at first. From there, you can gradually move to leaving both arms, or both legs, unsaddled. Eventually, you will build up to the point where you are not swaddling at all. The idea is that this slow, gradual transition makes it easier for a baby to get used to sleeping unswaddled.
You can stop swaddling when your baby starts to escape from it/when baby doesn't have moro reflex/baby is around 4 months. You can slowly transit by swaddle 1 arm free then both arms free.. Once baby is used to it, you can remove the swaddle.
Well the baby just knows how to get out of the swaddle somehow, when the baby can sleep well without swaddling would be time to stop
