Which type of swaddle to last through night?

Need advice for my 1 month old.

We normally swaddle him in the traditional wrap swaddle at bedtime and he does well with that until after his middle of night feeding (he breaks out of it around 4am, even if he just ate at 3 and not necessarily hungry). We also have tried the swaddle up where the hands at fixed in place but up. This works amazing for his daytime naps and I try at night from time to time. He’s good until the middle of the night when he starts to fight it (and poor thing can’t even break out of this swaddle so he just fights it nonstop). Sometimes I change his swaddle after middle of night feeding from the traditional to swaddle up and that sometimes works.

We also have the nested bean but only tried that a couple times - hands up in it. Seems to work inconsistently.

So it seems like all swaddles work up until a certain point in the night and then they go out the window.

After the middle of night feed should I just let his arms be free? The nested bean swaddle has an option to remove the sleeves. I just feel like he’s too young to not he in some sort of swaddle with his hands set in place. I feel like flailing arms would make him sleep worse/not settle but maybe not?? Thoughts or advice???
