A Future Stomach Sleeper!

We finally stopped swaddling Ella's whole body last week, and now just swaddle her lower body.  She has become so strong that she breaks her arms out within a matter of minutes, making a huge tangled mess with the swaddle blanket and her body.  I was so afraid that her sleeping habits would drastically change, but so far, they have been pretty much the same, with the exception of her sleeping position of choice, which happens to be her side/stomach!  I know not everyone is a back sleeper, but at 4 months, and just recently learning to roll over, it scares me to have her sleeping in this position!  For this reason, I have been forced to modify her co-sleeper.  The traveling cocoon has now been placed in her co-sleeper, and she sleeps in the cocoon. The cocoon is not much bigger than her body, therefore, she doesn't have the room to roll over. She will flail an arm or leg over the side on occasion, but that's about it!
