Training baby to sleep unswaddled, but constantly gets startled

Is it ok to let baby sleep/nap unswaddled even when they get startled multiple times ? Also called as moro reflex. Already put bean bag on chest but still gets startled by his hands falling and moving.

LO currently 1month old and hates to be swaddled. So we didn’t swaddle her and she sleeps freestyle which she really loves. When we swaddled her, she would make grunting noises, cry, etc. Indeed there were times where LO got startled a few times and woke up but eventually she slept back on her own.
