    Dumb answer alert - you just will. I can't remember what it was at the time, but it was obvious. We tried when he first rolled and it just did not work.
    Hehe, thanks Marcellus. So for now I will just roll with DD, until she gives me a sign.

    I think Sam was around 10 or so months old when we started being able to get him down at night without wrapping. We still had the odd night where he needed it to settle, though. I can pretty comfortably say that from 13 months onwards he wasn't wrapped at night at all.

    For his day sleeps - we use large pieces of cheesecloth fabric (given to us by SIL who also had a child who liked the extended wrap) or cot sheets.

    One thing we noticed - Sam could roll, but wouldn't when he was wrapped up in the cot. He didn't start to roll around and move around his cot until he could get himself out of the wrap first. It's never been an issue for us - but we also had a strangely stationary sleeper compared to most babies.
