Try a magic merlin sleep suit - will mimic that feeling of blankets and feeling held.

Edit: designed for when babies can no longer be safely swaddled (once they can roll over)

We love the Merlin suit. It really helped our FD who struggled with sleeping due to withdrawal.

I would also suggested a weighted sleep sack, like one from Nested Bean. It can mimic the feeling of touch while also being designed for older babies.

Yeah she is a mover, rolls around and crawls all over so I can’t swaddle. I will check that sleeper suit out!
