    Sorry no advice here, still wrapping my almost 5 month old but I'll be watching this thread to see what the other ladies have to say. I agree, it is too hot to be wrapping them so I'd love to know how to help him learn to sleep with his arms out.

    what is the fabric your wrapping baby in? I was wrapping my DD in flannalette (sp?) baby wraps and i realised as summer is upon us it was way too hot for her. So i bought some muslin wraps (cheese cloth type material ) - fabric that can breath.....whilst she doesnt stay perfectly wrapped all night, it defn gives her a sense of security....
    When i begin to wrap my little girl, she defn senses its bed time....your little person needs some cues that 'hey, its time to go to sleep now'....maybe hes overtired, its too late for him to settle himself to sleep.THere is a window of opportunity so to speak for babies, when they are 'looking' tired...they give out plenty of signs...maybe try wrapping him with dummy when these tired signs begin.......i dont really know what else to say.
    I hope you work it out....
