The rule states
"However, with written consent of a parent or guardian, a license holder may place the infant who
has NOT YET BEGUN to ROLL OVER ON ITS OWN down to sleep in a crib, on their back, in a onepiece sleeper equipped with an attached system that fastens securely ONLY across the upper torso, with no constriction of the hips or legs, to create a swaddle."
You CAN swaddle (arms included) ONLY until he begins to roll over. Once he rolls over you can no longer use the flaps or wings to constrict/swaddle his upper torso.
Sleep sacks with wings are ideal because you can use the wings to swaddle upper torso until he rolls over yet the legs and hips are free to move around and then discontinue use of wing portion once he rolls over.
Once he reaches the age of rolling over, most infants don't have that need to be so tightly swaddled
