My baby girl is 4 months old, and we have had 2 nights of great sleep without the swaddle! I have been struggling with her bedtime, she always wanted to break out of her SwaddleMe blankets, and most of the time it was a fight to keep her arms in. The other night I had to go cold turkey and put her to bed without it, due to the fact she peed on it when I was changing her before bed...... 
The first night without it I had to go in her room and soothe her a few times, but after that, she slept longer than she had ever slept at night before! She slept like champ from 9pm-7am! Last night, I only needed to soothe her once, and she slept the same great amount!!
It CAN be done! I think our sweet little ones just tell us when they are ready to not be swaddled anymore, even though I was scared as hell to go cold turkey, it worked!!! Good luck mamas!
