How to stop swaddling

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
I need suggestions. My LO sleeps so well (and falls asleep so well) swaddled. He's started moving a lot more and trying to turn over which makes me panic. He typically breaks out of the swaddle mid nap or sleep and his neck is very strong, but I'm still concerned. I've tried just doing one arm swaddled, but he constantly wakes himself up and we've a hard time getting him to go to sleep that way. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA
Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

    We stopped cold turkey about a month ago.  It was a tough couple of nights, but he was starting to roll, and I was scared.  So - we just quit.  He was a little more jumpy, and didn't sleep as well, but he is fine now.  It helped us to have a loud air purifier in the room to block out other noises.  This kept him from startling so much.  GL!

    This exactly. Cold turkey and we use a big box fan in his room turned to high (pointed out of the room so he's not cold) and after a few restless nights he started sleeping really well. He seemed to really like Halo Sleep Sacks when he was still able to fit in them.

    Thank you both. We have a white noise machine currently which has helped a lot. Ok, so cold turkey and a few restless nights. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
