I don't use them because he rolls all over the place and I don't want him suffocating. I am paranoid

We've always used them but Miranda didn't go into her crib until 6 months and once we got to the point of unswaddling her she was able to lift her head and roll around. At this point I would be more worried about her foot getting caught or something like that.

If you are very risk adverse, you shouldn't use them. Basically the trade off is bumps and bruises for a small reduction in SIDs risk.
These are the current bedding guidelines from the SIDS Alliance: http://www.sidsalliance.org/newparents/np_reduce_safe.html
