How can I transition my 5 month old from being swaddled with the Ergo sleeping bag to having his arms out? I currently rock him to sleep and put him in the cot mostly asleep. When I’ve tried this with arms out, he wakes up as soon as I put him down because of his arms moving.

Is your baby rolling?
If so, he needs his arms free to be able to roll well.

Have you tried settling him in the cot? eg patting/shushing?
Are you using a blanket, tucked in well (so it doesn’t cover head/face)?
