Moro reflex but hate swaddling

Hi all, is here anyone with advice concerning swaddling? Our baby was never super fan of swaddling but it calmed him down and he could sleep better.

Since past weekend he really cries loud once we try to swaddle him. The same during the night when he wakes up in his swaddle.

He has pretty Moro reflex so if we don’t swaddle him he wakes up very often and it is hard to put him to sleep again. We basically need to hold his hand manually on his chest which breaks my heart as he is fighting with us.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated
