Swaddle transitioning

We’ve begun trying to transition out of our beloved swaddle. The first night we tried cold turkey & no matter where he was he would scream & not sleep. The second night & the night after we tried one arm & he had no problem going down initially to sleep however he would wake up in the middle of the night & wouldn’t sleep unless he was in bed with us. I really don’t want this to become a habit, doed anyone have any ideas on how to make this transition easier?
