I've got two swaddleholics that are too big for all the swaddles, break out of most but can't sleep without them...
We've been trying with naps today and it's been a TOUGH day to say the least.
My poor guys need swaddle rehab.
I think I hate swaddles. Scratch that, I know I hate them.

We broke out of swaddles slowly. We kept swaddling their arms with a blanket during nap times with a full swaddle at night. Once they could handle nap times, we went to just arms at night. Then nothing at naps to nothing at night. It was stressful but mostly only during the day.
I went through this same thing with one of my little guys. Luke had no problem breaking the swaddle habit, but it was very hard for Nolan. I managed to get him to nap w/o one, but it wasn't until I let him sleep on his belly that he finally went w/o the swaddle. It was an extrememly hard transition and I hope it goes more smoothly for you than it did us!
PS, for my future kids, I'm not swaddling!
it took us a good week of bad sleep to get used to the lack of swaddles.. but then they were ok again. Maybe try a sleep sack? Have you seen those? Their arms are out, but their legs are zipped into the bottom part.
Swaddle rehab...hee! Oh, I remember the transition days out of the swaddle...hellacious. Hopefully yours will pass through it quickly!!
