Startle reflex at 5.5 months affecting baby's sleep

Hello,

My lo is nearly 6 months and she has had startle reflex since birth. Through the past 6 months we have swaddled her for sleeps and she has also been in a cocoona nest however this is not a safe option as the baby is showing signs of rolling. We also have recently tried a merlin suit and no joy. The startle is both the arms and legs flying up every few mins or if lo is tired after 30 mins. In addition I've noticed the baby's doesn't lay down with her legs on the bed straight not sure if this is the problem but she wakes ever 1 hr...throughout the night the longest she sleeps is 2 hrs. She sleeps fine in the car seat or while I'm holding her. Please help I'm desperate
