my dd hated being swaddled so I never bothered with it. She had a major case of the jolts though and used to fling her arms and legs around and wake herself up after 45 minutes- you could set your watch by her!
I followed the advice on "holding through the jolts" exactly as detailed in the FAQs- here's the link to the thread for you:
https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=85499.0
It worked most of the time- sometimes there was just no keeping her asleep past 45 mins (but that's normal for many lo's).
Have a go with this and let us know how you get on

No advice from me I'm afraid, but just had to say how cute your lo is in your avatar
I just LOVE his expression.

There's something called the Aussie swaddle which puts LOs hands closer to their face. I know they describe it on one of the boards. Also, how do you swaddle? Maybe there's another blanket/method that would be more soothing?
