Baby needs swaddle but fights it all the time.

I am so stressed when putting baby to sleep at night. Baby can't stay asleep without his arms being swaddled. But these days he has found his hands and would want to suck his hands whenever he wants to sleep. So everytime I force his arms into the swaddle but he keeps screaming. Even if I managed to swaddle him, he would fight it and manage to pull his hands out to suck. I could try to swaddle him up to an hour! Today after 1 hour I gave up and let his arms out and he can't sleep! I have to use his pacifier (what's the point of sucking his hands?!) and he falls asleep but wakes up after a short while. 😑 I am so stressed. I can't do this everyday.

How about the zipped swaddle?
