What are the downsides of the The Ollie Swaddle?

When should I stop swaddling?

At the first signs of rolling — often 8–12 weeks. A swaddled baby who rolls onto their tummy can’t push up safely. Transition to an arms-out swaddle or sleep sack.

Are swaddles safe for sleep?

Yes, when done correctly: baby on their back, snug at the chest, hips loose, and no loose fabric near the face. Always follow safe-sleep guidance.
