There is no absolute age for when you must stop using a swaddle. How long you swaddle your baby past 3-4 months will have to be determined by you based on your assessment of your babies needs, the risks, the benefits, the mobility of your baby and good old mama intuition. Some babies just absolutely need to be swaddled longer in order to sleep more than 20 minutes at a time. My two youngest were swaddled until 7 and 8 months of age. I know of babies that have been swaddled well past one year of age and swaddling longer can be especially helpful for little ones with special needs.
Mix together one cup of flour, yeast and warm water. Add one more cup of flour, sugar, salt and oil and stir until ingredients are combined but dough is still wet and shaggy. Let dough rest for 15 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of flour on a clean surface and knead dough until it shapes into a ball, about 10 minutes. Place into a greased bowl, cover and let it rise until doubled in size, about an hour. After dough has risen, divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Take each piece and flatten it into a circle.
