my DD is still swaddled for night sleeps (and day sleeps when she is grumpy) - she just won't sleep otherwise. keep in mind that some of your decisions will be dictated by your baby. DD startles very easily, and is a wiggle bum - moves her hands heaps in her sleep - she kept waking herself up. we tried without swaddling a couple of nights and she was awake half the night - swaddle her, and she sleeps for 9 hours, wakes for a feed, then back for another hour or three depending on the day.
i love the idea of sleeping bags - its just my bubba that doesn't! lol.
during the day we try not to swaddle her so that she gets used to not being wrapped - but most days she ends up having to be wrapped to get more than a few minutes sleep - as soon as she is wrapped, she snuggles down and sleeps
Jazz was an August baby (SEQ too), but hated being wrapped from day 1, so we bought some sleeping bags (best and less ones). Best thing we bought, because she also hates blankets, kicks them off, so we just put her in a short sleeve suit (long if it was a bit chilly) and into the sleeping bag.
