Ask Dr. Karp: When should I stop swaddling my baby? You should only use swaddling and sound when your baby is sleeping or crying. When they’re awake, babies need time to practice using their muscles. After two to three months most parents only wrap their babies for sleep. I recommend continuing the sleep swaddling for at least four months. That’s because unswaddled babies can pretty easily roll from the back onto the stomach (a riskier position).

How Do I Extend the Time Period Between Feedings? Actually, 2 1/2 hours is ok for a 6-week old. He may not get to 4 hours until he's more like 10 or 12 weeks. However, you could extend the time by about 15 minutes (use the baby swing, take a walk, something to keep his mind off food for a little while). Do that for about 3 days, then stretch him another 15 min.

When will my baby roll over? Some babies can flip themselves from their front to their back as early as three months. But it's more likely that your baby will be six months or seven months old by the time she's strong enough to roll both ways. Her neck and arm muscles need time to strengthen first. Be warned that your baby will learn to roll over without giving you notice! You will need to be extra careful if you change her nappy on a changing table.
