Love to Dream Swaddle Up

I got this for my baby thinking it would be a good transitional product from a traditional swaddle, and also to try and see if it would help with self settling (baby is 14 weeks corrected, 20 by birth date). However, it seems to only make my baby really frustrated. Having his hands up by his cheeks makes him root constantly and then he gets upset that he can't latch.

we've tried it for two days, do I need to give it longer for him to get used to having his arms there?

I'd like to move him into a sleeping bag but he still has very flappy arms and the wrap around swaddle I'm using really disturbs him and always comes loose.

I would personally give it a bit longer
I used the swaddle up from love to dream to transition my baby from swaddling. I found it Helped him - used it for a week and then went to a normal sleeping bag.
It took DS a few days to adjust

Yep stuck with it. It's a great way of transitioning out of swaddling
