Swaddle to sleep sack

I’m going through the same struggle right now :( he keeps taking his soother out and crying unfortunately can’t swaddle anymore because he breaks out of it
I can suggest you to fill one or two cup of rice into a small ziplock (not heavy just lil bit) and put it on their chest or belly somewhere they can feel it as your hand on it :)
Honestly I did the transition at like 10 weeks cold turkey from the arms up / in sac and it took her a few nights to figure it out but she went back to sleeping as normal. Just give it a few nights, it does suck but it does get better !
How old is she??
We went with the zipadee zip and she’s still in it at 4 months old. It’s not as effective as a swaddle but it does help her stay asleep. The first few nights were rough but it just takes a little time to get used to. Hang in there, she’ll get it.
We transitioned at 3 weeks and she did great and started sleeping 7+ hours at 5 weeks. Now she does 12-14 hours every night at 4 months so maybe that method worked or she’s just a great sleeper 😂
It takes a few nights for them to transition but it’s been going great for us after about a week! We did 1 arm out first and then both to transition
I started using the Zipadee Zip to transition from swaddle to sleep sack. It’s designed so they can roll in it still so it’s safe but it helps their reflexes!
