I would try rolling a couple of wraps and putting them either side of him when you put him down wrapped. Will stop him being able to roll over and may help your problem until you can get him used to sleeping unwrapped.
Also you can try putting him down half wrapped - so leave his arms out, and wrap from under his armpits.
We have the same problem and what we are doing is working atm (touch wood)
We use a sleep protection thingie ,where they like in between and has two cushion like things on either side to help stop them rolling,DD can only settle wrapped ,we have tried her in sleeping bags but she thrashes everywhere.
what we are doing is for a week or so we have been wrapping her but keeping one arm out ,then next week we will move onto wrapping just under her arms untill we will just pop her in a sleeping bag and hopfully she will be ok
Get a Safe-T-Sleep Sleep Wrap. Honestly they are the best things around for this very problem. Its a long piece of material that wraps around the mattress and another attached that wraps around bub so they can roll over. They are worth the piece of mind and the sleep!
We wrapped DD until 15 months LOL. I think back in those earlier days we used a safety cushion thing too to prevent her rolling, or else just tuck a top sheet over her quite firmly. Towards the end of the 15 months tho she wasn't staying wrapped all night, it was just an initial sleep cue kind of thing.
At 22 months Sam still relies on being wrapped as his cue for day sleeps. He also needs to be cuddled, just so that he stays still long enough to fall asleep. When I put him in the cot, I have to unwrap him so that he can stay asleep and roll around. Would wrapping to help him go to sleep and then unwrapping once he is asleep work?
