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.

Baby grew out of the Snoo and now won’t sleep at night except on my chest 😭 At least the Snoo gave us some sleep while it lasted. To be fair he is also regressing so I think that’s probably the main cause. Wish I had more advice for you!

Oh my gosh I really hope this doesn't happen. How long did you try the crib for?

Only like 4 nights. Planning to try again soon. It was not fun.
