Swaddles!

I have such a love-hate relationship with the swaddle...now leaning more towards hate!!
I can't keep LO in the swaddle to save my life! She is able to now instantly break free, even with the tight Velcro! She loves having her hands in her mouth, but immediately wakes herself up. I'm gong crazy because she use to sleep 5-7 hr stretches and she's now up every 1-2. I think I need to transition her out of the rock and play because she's getting too cramped, but I also feel like I need to transition her out of the swaddle, even though she can't control her arms when she sleeps. I tried the Merlin, and it didn't work for her. I'm wondering if the Sleepsuit will be better once she's out of the rock and play and has more room in the PnP?
I'm at a loss on where to go, what to do first? Should I transition out of the RnP first or the swaddle? Any tips please!!! I'm going crazy feeling like suddenly nothing is working and I can hardly function during the day from lack of sleep.

    Look into the swaddle me or the halo swaddle sleep sack, they are so much easier to use.

    My LO has outgrown both! She is rely long and gets angry when she can't fully stretch her legs. The girl is like all leg!

    Google Escape Proof Swaddle. That YouTube video was great for both my DDs. I would get out of RNP first bc when they go to an open area like the crib they can feel insecure and the swaddle helps.

    No, she's not rolling over and has no interest in doing so- we're working on it!

    The last 2 nights, we've gone back to the Merlin Sleepsuit and in the pack n play. May just be luck, but she has slept so much better! Only woke 1 time both nights!

    Now naps on the other hand....I've followed all the "rules" for napping and I feel like all I've been doing today is trying to get her down for a nap. As soon as she's down, she wakes up within 10 min. So I'm giving in and just letting her nap on me so she at least gets one decent one today.
