Nested bean sleep sack

My 5 month old is now too big for her swaddle. She also can’t seem to settle when not in it!
I have tried her with a normal sleeping bag but she’s not keen, i’ve been reading about a weighted sleeping bag from nested bean?

Has anyone heard of these/used one?

I can't help with the weighted sleeping bag, but how did you try her in a normal sleeping bag? It can take a week for them to adjust, but at least 3 days. The first time we tried the transistion from swaddle to sleeping bag, we gave up at 11pm (when he woke for the 4th time). He's now fine in them.

Sewinginscotland - thanks for replying. Only tried her a couple of times, she just bangs her legs up and down and wakes herself up!
What did you do? Keep getting him back to sleep at putting him back down?
I feel at a loss as she isn’t a self settler and feeds to sleep, tried tonight with one arm out but she got herself in a right state we gave up. Although she’s started to roll now so really shouldn’t be swaddled :( help!

Sorry, the tag didn't send me an email! We just kept on going back to resettle him, at that point he was held to sleep. It helped that he'd figured out how to get one arm out of the swaddle himself (it was a woombie, he just hulked open the popper), but we just went cold turkey with him. We made the transition when he learnt to roll too.
