Has anyone tried a Swaddle alternative that worked for you? LO has fought the Swaddle since day 1 and loves his hands at his face but startles himself awake because of it. We've tried different brands of 'cheater' options and he always manages to get his hands out. We use the insert from the ergo at night to start right now ( DH walks him and then holds him in the insert for the first shift so I can get a solid 3-4 hrs sleep). He seems to do best with that and his arms are trapped by his side but it's not a good/long term solution. We tried the love me bundle last night and he didn't seem to be a fan and bought the Merlin sleep suit but he's still small for that. I know it's unrealistic for me to expect long sleep stretches at this point or to try and use logic with LO but I have to think if he likes the carrier he would do well with something else safer?!
Eta- the only other way he sleeps at night is on one of us which I also never feel safe about
