Anyone had a woombie swaddle?

My 5 month old is outgrowing her miracle baby swaddle and I want to transition her to a gro bag but if her arms are free she wakes herself or is v hard to get to sleep. We tried the love to swaddle 50/50 but she can't get on with having her hands up by her head. The woombie looks like they have their arms free in front of them within the sack, is that right? Does anyone have and swaddle wisdom they could share?! Thanks so much in advance.

I had one but stopped at 4 months. Wouldn't bother at 5 months, you aren't supposed to use them, or any swaddle, once they can roll. We just had to go cold turkey on swaddling, was rough at first but he adapted fairly quickly to gro bags

She's still in a sleepyhead in her cot so can't roll. No way can we go cold turkey, she's a nightmare sleeper! Plus on the woombie website they seem to go up to 20lbs so surely that's older than 5 months?

Have you looked at the love to swaddle? It has sleeves so you can gradually get her used to arms out. I wouldn't put a five month old into a woombie.
