You can try to swaddle him after few days again. Some babies might hate it initially but love to be swaddled after some times. I recommend to use this Woombie Air Ventilated Baby Swaddle, which is not too hot and easy to use and help baby to sleep better. You can get it from Mothercare at about $79.90. Non-ventilated costs about $59.90.

Swaddling helps them to feel more secure and helped them to hold their limbs down when as they have sudden reflexes which may wake them up. My son hated to be swaddle too so I took it off him. Otherwise you could try swaddling just his legs and leave his arms free, or the other way around.

thanks
