Baby can turn on side -- no more swaddling?

My 2.5 month old daughter has turned to her side all on her own a couple of times. While this is great, now I'm afraid to swaddle her because maybe she'll turn the rest of the way over and be trapped. (even more likely with her arms constrained...)

So I guess I need to stop swaddling her, eh? Trouble is, she sleeps so much better that way... any ideas?

Update:

Yeah, we have a sleep positioner. Even swaddled, she tends to scoot all over the place and ends up with her face stuck against the foam... we stopped trying to use it a while ago. Thank you for the suggestion though! Hmm.

    Maybe a sleep positioner? You could put her in a sleep positioner and still swaddle her but she can't roll over, it will keep her in whatever position you put her in. Here is a link to what they are in case you are not familiar with them.

    If you want to put your baby to sleep in 20 seconds you must get the "Instant Baby Sleep" MP3 sound track. Here is their official web-site: http://www.instantbabysleep.net/

    The sound track gently produces energy over the full human hearing spectrum with an embedded pulse that gently eases the brain to the Alpha state well known for drowsiness and sleep induction.

    sleep positioner, however sometimes they can be a waste of money since they only work till your child hits a certain weight. once she is turning you can stop swaddeling her though. but don't pile on the blankets in her bed/crib!! use only one and tuck it tightly in around and under the mattress for her safety.
