As long as it's helpful or until baby starts rolling over. For the first couple of months, I swaddled anytime she was sleeping, which was most of the time. Then we kept swaddling for colicky evening meltdown and nighttime sleep. Some people say swaddling tops out at 12 weeks, which is about the time my DD started routinely breaking the swaddle (and, god help me, rolling over). But I know some keep going much longer. My nephew was a BIG baby and was much slower to roll over, and he always slept better in the swaddle; he was swaddled at night until he was over 6 months old. No biggie.
