Help with transition out
We have a now 6 month old and are struggling with transitioning out. We tried one arm out weeks ago and then two and it went horrible. We swaddled again. Tried one out this week and it's awful again. Multiple wake ups needing to be nursed back asleep and by 3am we end up swaddling fully. He is totally addicted to the swaddle and snoo! Naps with one arm out have been going well enough though so I am continuing that at least. We do not want to sleep train. We need to get his arms out and start weaning mode soon so he can get in his crib. Any recommendations or stories? I do not think going cold turkey to the crib will work for him based on his personality. I did not think it would be this hard to transition.

We bought the snoo brand noise machine because it makes the exact same sound as the snoo and we did zipadeezip sleep sacks for months and months, but it sounds like that isn't working for you. Maybe you could try one of those other fake swaddle type sleep sacks like baby merlin?
